Pediatric Dental Associates of Clinton

1465 NJ-31 Suite #3, 08801, Annandale

Dr. McGuire is an Annandale pediatric dentist in Clinton Township specializing in child sedation, orthodontics & general preventive dentistry services.

We believe that every child is a unique individual who deserves a positive dental experience. We deliver the highest quality specialized dental care in a fun environment focused on each child’s growing and changing needs. Our talented team members expertly treat each patient with appreciation and care. In partnering with other healthcare providers, parents, and kids, we foster a relationship of trust and health that will continue into adulthood. We do these things with Pride. A child’s bright, healthy smile is our ultimate goal.

To make sure your visits to our office are pleasant for you and your child, we offer the latest in dental care technology like lower radiation digital x-rays, as well as kid-friendly features like digital flat screen monitors mounted on the ceilings in exam rooms and gaming consoles for patients to play while waiting for their appointment.

Preventive and Diagnostic Procedures  - The heart of our pediatric dental practice, preventative care includes Comprehensive Oral Evaluations and Dental Cleanings every six months, along with Fluoride Treatments, Digital X-Rays, and Dental Sealants. We also provide oral hygiene instruction at each of our appointments to instill good habits at an early age.

Restorative Dentistry - Pediatric Dental Associates offers Composite Fillings for a more natural appearance, Pulp Treatment (also known as a Pulpotomy, Pulpectomy, or Baby Root Canal), Dental Crowns for teeth with a great deal of decay, and Dental Extractions.

Cosmetic Dentistry - In the case of chipped or broken teeth, Pediatric Dental Associates offers Cosmetic Bonding to fill in the chip with tooth-colored material for a natural appearance. We also offer Icon® a new, revolutionary approach to treatment of smooth surface staining.

Nitrous Oxide - When a procedure is complex or a child is particularly anxious, we can administer nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, to put them at ease. With pediatric patients, nitrous oxide is a preferred method of sedation as it is inhaled rather than injected and it wears off quickly.

After a long career as a pediatric dental hygienist, Dr. McGuire decided to follow her passion and earn her Doctor of Medical Dentistry degree from the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 1994. After completing specialized training in pediatric dentistry at the University of Texas Health Science Center, she began practicing as a dentist in Somerset County. She launched her own practice in 2005 and since then has been named a Top Pediatric Dentist in New Jersey by New Jersey Monthly magazine for over a decade.

Fantastic experience: This dental team is impeccable. I took my 11 month old to be seen regarding a gum injury that happened the night prior. I gave them a call after hours, and they called me before they even opened to schedule an appointment to be seen within the hour! I can’t tell you how grateful I am for these guys! They were so incredibly great with my son and just the sweetest team possible. They have big hearts and a wonderful staff!! Will be going back for his 18m routine check up

Fantastic experience: I had the most pleasant experience with this dentist! All 3 of my kids (ages 2-6) were able to sit in one room and have their cleanings done at the same time with 0 issues. Every staff member had a calm demeanor and we all left with brighter smiles. 0 pressure to do x-rays or fluoride if not desired. Very grateful for this facility!

Fantastic experience: This was daughter's first appointment, she was crying the whole time ! The staff was amazing, especially Dr McGuire. The front desk was amazing as well. Thank you for making our experience a great one...despite the tears!

Connie Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Dr McGuire and her staff go beyond professional courtesy, the office is extremely clean. Dr McGuire makes me happy for all children to have a dentist so devoted and as caring & kind as she is. We drive 3 hours to have her care for our special needs son and it’s always a positive experience. We wouldn’t trust anyone else to care for him. She is the best and has a staff that matches her core values in patient care. Congratulations on 20 years Dr McGuire, it’ll be a very sad day for us when we have to leave your practice as our son ages out.

Fantastic experience: My daughter has only gone twice, but actually has had fun at the dentist. Great dentist. Updated. The best pediatric dentist we could ask for. Both kids love going and they are so kind.

Melissa Zastowny Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: If I could give Dr. McGuire a ten million star review I would. She and her team are so amazing. Last year My baby had a freak accident and she talked and texted with me after hours when it happened, fit me in the next day, and when we got to her office, her and Tracey were so kind and thorough. Her office is so beautiful and welcoming and they both explained everything that was going to happen before it happened. They sat with me and answered all my questions and weren’t at all rushed. Fast forward to this week, both my kids went there for their first dentist appointment and Dr. McGuire and her whole team were so amazing, patient, kind and so great with my kids! It was amazing experience and I will be recommending her office to everyone I know.

Fantastic experience: My son was apprehensive about the Dentist this time. The staff was great making him feel safe.

Morgan Savage Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Our son is not the biggest fan of doctors so we knew taking him to the dentist would probably be an awful experience. While he did have a crying fit getting his teeth looked at, Dr. McGuire was so patient, kind and reassuring! We’re so thankful we found this dentist who knows exactly how to interact with kids in such a calm way!

Nancy Egg Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My children have been patients of Dr. McGuire’s office for 15 years. From treating their baby teeth, to recommending orthodontia and wisdom teeth removal when the time came, her expertise is unparalleled. She practices with all of her patients best interest at heart. She engages the kids, treats them with respect and kindness and makes dental visits as pleasant as possible. All of the commendations Dr. McGuire has received as one of NJ’s top doctors (which she has received several times) are well deserved! Her office staff is professional and knowledgeable, reaching out to insurance companies on behalf of families to make sure benefits are maximized and providing pre treatments estimates so there are no surprises when treatment is needed. I can’t recommend Pediatric Dental Associates of Clinton highly enough.

Mercy Hernandez Published on Google 1 year ago

Lauren Mandell Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I just had my first visit experience with Dr. McGuire last week, thanks to the discovery that my two yr old had a cavity! This facility is MADE FOR KIDS! I have two older daughters who I've taken to other dentists and this experience was completely different! From a waiting room set up with plenty of kids activities to TVs on the ceiling to help when the kids are actually in the chair! The staff was so friendly and welcoming to both me and my daughter and it is clear that they are well equipped to work with children! The appointment scheduling was straightforward and the intake paperwork was easy to do on my phone prior to the appt! I highly recommend Dr. McGuire and her staff and am strongly considering moving my other two daughters to her practice as well!
