A father, a son, and a team that has looked after the same Bayridge Heights families since 1952.
Dr. Alex Halverson opened this office in 1952, back when a dentist knew every family on the block. His son Chris grew up around it, graduated from New Jersey University College of Dentistry in 1982, and joined him in the same operatory that year.
In 2022 the practice quietly passed seven decades. Between father and son, four generations of Bayridge Heights families have sat in these chairs. Some patients have been coming for over thirty five years. Their children come now, and their grandchildren after that.
What carried across those decades is not equipment, although we keep that current. It is the habit of explaining things properly, never selling treatment nobody needs, and treating the person in the chair the way you would treat a neighbor. Because usually they are one.
Become a patientYou will hear what is urgent, what can wait, and what is optional. Then you decide. Nobody here works from a sales target.
Two doctors and seven team members. Your hygienist remembers your last visit because she was the one who did it.
Cleanings, cosmetic work, implants, clear aligners and gum treatment all happen here, so your history stays in one place.
Every team member is trained in CPR and emergency medicine, along with OSHA, HIPAA and cyber security standards.
Nitrous oxide takes the edge off for anxious patients. Plenty of people who once dreaded the dentist now sit here calmly.
