Matos Oral Surgery: Matos M John DDS

Third-floor elevator drop lands you at an unmarked door in the Jersey Street corridor, a turn-of-the-century passage that keeps some of its grit intact. Matos Oral Surgery: Matos M John DDS occupies Suite 302, a no-frills storefront between a freight elevator and a shuttered boutique tailor. The neighborhood feels like a crossroads—light industry in the morning, retail spillover at lunch—and the office blends in precisely because it isn’t trying to stand apart.

Inside the building’s 1920s bones, they handle surgical work that most general dentists refer out: impaction removals, jaw repair after trauma, dental implants, bone grafting, wisdom-teeth extractions, and pre-prosthetic adjustments. No cosmetic veneers or routine cleanings here; the focus stays on procedures that require an oral surgeon’s tools and training. The front door is locked between scheduled cases, so call ahead if you’re dropping by unannounced.

Across the river the office sits just west of Broad Street’s bus corridor, a ten-minute walk from the PATH’s downtown Elizabeth station. If the trains run late or the traffic stacks up on Routes 1&9, the ramps off Route 1 give direct access to nearby lots. A quick elevator ride to the third floor drops you at the suite; they’ll buzz you through once you call from the lobby.
