About Rosa Dental Center
Toothache gets worse at night for a reason that has nothing to do with imagination. Lying flat raises blood pressure in the head slightly, and the pulp, which is the nerve and blood supply sealed inside a rigid chamber in the middle of the tooth, has nowhere to expand when it swells. So the ache that felt manageable at six in the evening is the thing that wakes you at four in the morning. Rosa Dental Center on Westfield Avenue in Elizabeth keeps room in the schedule for exactly that patient, and prices the first urgent consultation at a flat fee so that deciding to come in is not itself a financial calculation.
Emergencies of that kind often end in root canal treatment, a procedure with a far worse reputation than it deserves. It removes the source of the pressure instead of masking it. The tooth is numbed and isolated with a thin rubber sheet, a small opening is made through the biting surface, and the canals running down inside each root are cleaned with fine files and flushed with disinfecting solution. The space is then filled with a rubber-like material and sealed, and relief usually arrives within a day or two. What the appointment does not do is restore strength: a treated tooth has lost internal structure and generally needs a crown afterwards, and skipping that step is precisely how root-canal-treated molars end up splitting a year later.
Around the urgent work sits an ordinary family practice. Children's checkups, cleanings, fillings, extractions, wisdom teeth, gum treatment, orthodontics, implants, dentures and cosmetic care are all handled at the same address, so the emergency that brought you through the door can turn into regular care rather than a referral somewhere else.
Two things are worth settling on the phone before you come in. Ask what the emergency consultation covers and what it does not, since the assessment, the X-rays and the treatment itself are separate line items almost everywhere. And ask which insurance plans the office is currently in network with, and what payment terms are available for the balance, because networks and financing arrangements change from year to year and the answer you get on the day is the only reliable one. Weekday evening hours and Saturday appointments into mid-afternoon make it possible to be seen without giving up a working day.

Very nice the dentist is nice and gentle i love it
I want to confirm the excellent service at Advanced Dental Center. I'm very happy with the great care from Dr. Patel; no waiting required. Highly recommended.
Great doctor. Tooth removal was done without any discomfort.
Raju was really great ! He called us back later in the day which I appreciated. The smoothest dentist visit I've had. I appreciate how he explained my teeth situation even with showing me my x-rays of my teeth. Recommend
Doctor was very quick with the extraction , I came in with my wisdom tooth cracked and he took care of it quickly pain was an 6 out of 10 and the pricing was great. Again Thank you so much
Dr. Patel was great with the services rendereed...very professional and sociable. He made all visits smooth and comfortable highly recommended you visit for great service and results. Also Jenifer his assistant was great and courteous and efficient. She has a pleasant smile and welcoming which are great traits to have as she's at the forefront of the office.
Great experience!! From the start it was so easy to get a same day appointment and for him to work with my insurance. Dr. Patel goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and explains every procedure before starting, he also answers every doubt you have. I have been there for extractions, cleaning, root canals and any emergencies and he always ends up helping me quick and with a fast recuperation time. I have always feared needles or any dental procedure and he always helps me feel calm and finishes my extractions in 5-10 minutes. I can honestly say Dr. Patel and his team are very caring and polite and Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable Dentist. I highly recommend this place and will continue being a loyal patient!!
Great experience! Made a same day appointment on Advanced Dental Center through my insurance recommendation and got in right away. Dr. Patel is extremely professional: he takes time to listen and time to explain. A first rate professional experience... Dr. Patel was great, gave realistic expectations and timelines. I will definitely be back and would recommend the practice!
If I could give Dr. Patel more than 5 stars I would. I have a very high pain tolerance and I had been avoiding taking my wisdom teeth out. I am a full time teacher and with the last couple years with the pandemic- being a teacher is hard to start with and there are no days off. I knew the pain was bad when it started effecting my ability to teach last Friday. My own dentist and previous oral surgeon that was recommended by my dentist would not schedule an emergency appointment. Dr. Patel was so incredibly nice and patient and took the time to make me feel comfortable. I had a really nasty wisdom tooth in an area that was extremely hard to work with. Dr. Patel could have easily told me to go to a different dentist and sent me home with pain- but he decided to stay later and take time out of his own personal time to help me-without even previously knowing me before. He made me extremely comfortable and his assistant was very attentive and kept me calm throughout the removal. She was so sweet and really helped me calm down when I was nervous. I suffer from very bad anxiety- throughout the removal nothing was painful and he made sure to explain everything he did. It is now more than 24 hours after the removal and I feel no pain at all. Dr. Patel was a lifesaver and I recommend him to everyone- especially if you are having an emergency.
