Dental health is one of those things most people think about only when something goes wrong, but the best outcomes come from consistent care with a provider who knows your history and has the skills to handle whatever comes next. Avenel, NJ, sits right in the heart of the Woodbridge Township area, and its residents deserve a dental practice that offers more than just the basics. From routine exams to complex restorative and cosmetic treatments, the dentist you choose should be able to keep pace with your needs as they change over time.
Colonia Dental Associates is located just minutes from Avenel and provides comprehensive dental care under the direction of Dr. Gurjinder Singh, D.M.D., and Dr. Ashlee N. Apratim, D.M.D. Both doctors are Associate Fellows of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and bring advanced credentials in general, cosmetic, and implant dentistry to every patient interaction. Our fee-for-service model allows us to spend more time with each Avenel patient and use the best materials available for every procedure.
Why Avenel Patients Choose Colonia Dental Associates
A dental practice worth committing to should offer the full scope of services you might need throughout your life. Preventive cleanings today may lead to restorative work tomorrow and cosmetic enhancements down the road. Having a single team that can manage all of that eliminates the need for referrals, simplifies scheduling, and ensures consistency in your care. According to the American Dental Association, the combination of daily oral hygiene and regular professional care is the foundation of lifelong dental health.
Our practice provides Avenel patients with everything from preventive dentistry to advanced implant and cosmetic procedures, all performed in-house by our experienced team.

The Benefits of Fee-for-Service Dentistry
Many dental offices in the Avenel area operate within insurance networks that can limit appointment length, restrict material choices, and influence treatment recommendations. At Colonia Dental Associates, our fee-for-service model removes those limitations entirely. We schedule appointments with the time needed to provide thorough, unhurried care. We select materials based on their clinical performance and aesthetic quality, not on reimbursement rates.
Avenel patients with out-of-network dental benefits often receive meaningful reimbursement for their care at our practice. We supply all the documentation needed to submit claims and work with patients to help maximize their available benefits. For patients without dental insurance or those pursuing treatments that are not covered, we offer flexible financing through CareCredit.
Credentials That Go Beyond the Standard
Dr. Singh completed his Doctorate in Dental Medicine at the University of Medicine and Dentistry in Newark and his residency at Monmouth Medical Center. Dr. Apratim earned her degree from the same institution with honors in prosthodontics and trained at JFK Medical Center in Edison. Both have completed the Rutgers University AAID MaxiCourse for implant dentistry, the Aesthetic Advantage Dentistry course for veneers, and maintain certification as Silver Tier Invisalign providers.
For Avenel patients, these credentials mean access to procedures that many general practices refer out, from complex implant cases to aesthetic treatments that require a refined cosmetic eye.
