Joseph F. Miele, DDS

Oral surgeons don’t always get the same foot traffic as general dentists, but when you need one, the search narrows fast. Joseph F. Miele, DDS handles the procedures that go beyond fillings and cleanings—wisdom teeth extractions, dental implants, corrective jaw surgery, bone grafts, and biopsies. The office sits at 21 New Monmouth Rd in Middletown Township, a stretch of road where the houses thin out and the strip malls start to feel more utilitarian than decorative. It’s the kind of place you drive to because you have to, not because you’re killing time on a Saturday afternoon.

Most people find the address on a referral slip or a search result, then realize they’ve passed it a dozen times without noticing. Directions are straightforward if you’re coming from the Garden State Parkway, though the side streets can feel like a maze the first time. They keep the phone posted on the door and the website, but if you’re calling from the parking lot, (732) 671-5822 is the number to dial. For anyone who’s ever put off an extraction because the idea of finding a specialist felt overwhelming, the map link is here: just pull it up and go. Nobody actually wants to be here, but if you need to be, you’ll be glad it’s only a ten-minute drive.
