Dr. Lily Chan, DMD

Perth Amboy’s waterfront streets have seen their share of small businesses come and go, but the need for steady dental care never really fades. Dr. Lily Chan, DMD keeps things simple on the second floor of a low-slung building at 485 New Brunswick Avenue, Suite 200. The office handles routine cleanings, fillings, crowns, and emergency visits without the usual fuss—just the basics most people actually schedule.

Finding parking along the avenue can feel like a minor sport, though the side streets usually yield a spot within a block or two. Once inside the building, the elevator or stairs lead up to the second floor, where the practice covers everything from pediatric check-ups to root canals. X-rays and extractions are also part of the mix, though you won’t hear any sales pitch about whitening kits or cosmetic add-ons.

Dentistry in this part of Middlesex County tends to run on word-of-mouth referrals rather than flashy ads. Most patients come from Perth Amboy itself or the neighboring towns, where the same few clinics have been handling generations of families. The office doesn’t bother with weekend hours, so anyone needing a Saturday appointment will have to look elsewhere.

To book a visit, call (732) 442-5151 and leave a message if the line’s busy—they’ll ring back by the next business day. For directions, pull up the map and set New Brunswick Avenue as the destination. The building sits right where the street starts to slope down toward the Raritan River, so it’s hard to miss once you’re in the neighborhood.
