Dr. Brian Paterson

Matawan’s Main Street has that quiet, tree-lined stretch where old storefronts sit beside newer ones without fanfare. Somewhere between the hardware store and the florist, Dr. Brian Paterson keeps an office for anyone who needs an oral surgeon. The practice handles everything from routine extractions to more involved procedures like bone grafts and dental implants, so it’s the kind of place you end up at after a referral or a long afternoon Googling “how to fix this tooth.” The address is 158 Main St, Matawan, NJ 07747—right where the sidewalk widens just enough to feel like the town’s center.

Oral surgery isn’t anyone’s idea of a good time, but it’s the sort of thing that becomes less stressful when you know where to call. If you’re scheduling a consult or just need to ask a quick question, the number is (732) 566-7648. Most people find themselves here for wisdom teeth, biopsies, or corrective jaw work, and the office manages to keep the whole process about as smooth as these things can be.
