Dr. Raymond Simmons

Dental work can feel tedious, but a solid primary-care dentist keeps the grind from turning into outright dread. Dr. Raymond Simmons handles the usual suspects—fillings, crowns, and cleanings—with nothing flashier than reliability. Odd jobs sneak in too; bite adjustments, simple extractions, and night guards all land on the same bench as the routine cleanings. Root canals and gum treatments sit in the same notebook, signaling a practice willing to slog through harder cases without veering into specialty-only territory. In a stripe of Monmouth County where beaches draw the eye year-round, a dentist who doubles as a one-stop diagnostic pit stop keeps drivers from having to cross county lines every time a molar acts up.

The office itself sits on Broadway in a stretch where storefronts and service lanes slide past each other without anyone stopping traffic for long. 335 Broadway, Long Branch, NJ 07740 is the marker—no flashy signposts, just the kind of address that appears after you’ve passed the dry cleaner and the bodega with the leaning awning. The neighborhood hums through the day, loud enough to feel alive but quiet enough to park without circling the block twice. Crossing the sidewalk here is less about spectacle and more about reaching a function as matter-of-fact as a grocery run or a trip to the post office.

Talking to the front desk happens the old-fashioned way: call (732) 475-3800 and let the line ring once or twice. Directions back here never get complicated if you mark the map at https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c225236a255555:0xdac94f360f001046 and keep a phone charger handy.
