The best time to deal with a dental problem is before it becomes painful, expensive, or complicated. Routine care from a dentist you trust keeps minor concerns from escalating into major treatments, and having a provider who can handle everything from cleanings to complex restorations under one roof saves you from the hassle of referrals and fragmented care. Carteret, NJ, is a tight-knit community where residents take pride in the quality of the services they choose, and dental care should be no exception.
Colonia Dental Associates serves patients from Carteret and the surrounding area with comprehensive general and cosmetic dental care. Located in nearby Colonia, our practice is led by Dr. Gurjinder Singh, D.M.D., and Dr. Ashlee N. Apratim, D.M.D., both of whom are Associate Fellows of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Our fee-for-service model means every Carteret patient receives the full time, premium materials, and clinical attention their care requires.
Complete Dental Services for Carteret Patients
A dental practice should grow with you. What starts as a simple cleaning visit may eventually lead to the need for a crown, a cosmetic enhancement, or even an implant. Having a team that can manage your evolving needs without sending you elsewhere creates consistency in your care and builds the kind of trust that makes dental visits far less stressful. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that consistent dental care is one of the most effective ways to prevent cavities, gum disease, and systemic health complications linked to oral infections.
Colonia Dental Associates offers Carteret patients access to every level of dental care. From preventive services and routine exams to advanced implant and cosmetic procedures, our team handles it all in-house.

Fee-for-Service Care for the Carteret Community
In-network dental offices often operate under time and material constraints imposed by insurance reimbursement schedules. Appointments may be shorter, material options more limited, and treatment recommendations influenced by what the plan covers rather than what the patient actually needs. Our fee-for-service approach removes all of those compromises.
Carteret patients who visit Colonia Dental Associates receive longer appointments, premium materials, and treatment plans built entirely around their oral health goals. Patients with out-of-network dental benefits frequently receive reimbursement for care at our practice, and we provide all the necessary documentation to help maximize your coverage. We also accept CareCredit and offer flexible payment options for patients who prefer to spread the cost of treatment.
Meet the Doctors Serving Carteret
Dr. Singh earned his Doctorate in Dental Medicine from the University of Medicine and Dentistry in Newark and completed a one-year residency at Monmouth Medical Center, training across all dental disciplines. Dr. Apratim graduated from the same institution with honors in prosthodontics and completed clinical training at JFK Medical Center in Edison. Both doctors have completed the Rutgers University AAID MaxiCourse, the Aesthetic Advantage Dentistry course for veneers, and are certified Silver Tier Invisalign providers.
This depth of continuing education means Carteret patients can receive advanced procedures like implant placement, full mouth reconstruction, and complex cosmetic cases without leaving our office.
