Morris Plains Center for Dentistry
We Warmly Welcome New Patients to Our Practice
East Hanover sits between the Whippany and Passaic rivers, with Route 10 running through town and large corporate campuses nearby. When your days are scheduled down to the minute, a dentist who respects your time can make staying on top of your oral health much easier.
Morris Plains Center for Dentistry is on Route 10 in Morris Plains, and Dr. Joshua Bagley and our team welcome patients from East Hanover, Whippany, Cedar Knolls, and nearby communities. You can also browse the communities we serve across Morris County to see where else we care for patients.
Regular checkups work best when they fit into a busy week. Our preventive dentistry visits include a thorough exam, a professional cleaning, and time to ask questions, so you leave knowing where your teeth and gums stand.
Many adults still skip the dentist. About 65.5% of adults ages 18 and older had a dental exam or cleaning in the past year in 2023, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which means roughly one in three did not. Our pediatric dentistry team also welcomes children, so parents can often schedule visits together.
Whether you live near Route 10 or off one of the quieter side streets, you can find a full range of dental care in one location. Dr. Bagley can explain which options may fit your goals, budget, and schedule. Services for East Hanover patients include:
We start each visit by listening to your goals, so you can decide what care makes sense for you.
When a tooth is damaged beyond a simple filling, we can talk through dental crowns and dental bridges that are shaped to blend with your natural teeth. We explain the steps, the timing, and the cost before you commit to anything.
If you are missing a tooth, dental implants are one option worth discussing. An implant replaces the root of the tooth and supports a natural-looking restoration, and a consultation with Dr. Bagley can show whether it may fit your situation.
Small changes can make a big difference in how you feel about your smile. We offer Zoom! teeth whitening for stained teeth and composite bonding for chips and small gaps, and we can recommend a plan that suits your goals.
Adults who want straighter teeth without metal braces can ask about Invisalign and SimplyClear aligners. A comprehensive orthodontic evaluation is a helpful first step because it lets you compare your options before you start.
New patients are always welcome. You can schedule online or contact our office, and Dr. Bagley begins with an exam that checks your teeth and gums for cavities, gum disease, and early signs of bigger problems.
He then explains what he finds and talks through your options, so you know what to expect before any treatment begins. If you have dental benefits through your employer, our team can help you see how they may apply.
Our office and East Hanover are both on Route 10, so the drive may already be familiar. Evening appointments on Wednesdays and Thursdays can help if you would rather skip a midday break from work, and a member of our team speaks Spanish.
We accept most PPO plans, such as Delta Dental PPO, Horizon BCBS, and Cigna, and we offer an in-house membership plan for families without insurance. Our financial information page explains how payment works.
Dr. Bagley believes patients make better choices when they know their options. He explains treatments in detail, answers your questions, and invites you to help decide what comes next.
If dental visits make you tense, our anxiety-free dentistry approach focuses on comfort, with touches like aromatherapy and Netflix. You can also meet Dr. Bagley and our team online before your first visit.
A broken tooth or sudden pain can derail a workday. If you have a dental emergency, contact our office as soon as possible so we can arrange the earliest appointment available and tell you what to do while you wait.
Quick action may improve the chance of saving a damaged tooth, and our emergency dental care page explains the urgent problems we treat, from chipped teeth to severe toothaches.
