About
Tiny Teeth of Lakewood is a children's dental office led by pediatric dentist Dr. Zaki Mustacchi. It offers care for kids of all ages, including special-needs patients, and serves families from Lakewood and nearby towns.
Dr. Mustacchi earned his D.D.S. at New York University and completed pediatric dentistry training at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia, where his work included the hospital's cleft lip and palate clinic and the care of medically compromised and special-needs children. Alongside preventive and restorative care, the practice lists extractions, orthodontics and whitening among its services.
The office describes the equipment it uses: digital x-rays, which it notes need far less radiation than film, a Cavitron ultrasonic scaler for cleanings, and Isolite and Dryshield isolation systems that keep the mouth dry during treatment. The office has ceiling-mounted TVs, and children can wear headphones that block out background noise.
On insurance, the practice says it accepts most major dental plans and lists carriers including Aetna, Cigna, Delta, Guardian, Horizon NJ Health, Liberty Dental, MetLife, NJ Family Care, United Concordia and UnitedHealthcare. Staff will verify a child's coverage, and families whose plan is missing from the list can send its details through an email form on the site.
The office is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Friday, closed Saturday, and available by appointment on Sunday. The website names Toms River, Lakehurst, Brick, Howell, Jackson, Wall and Freehold among the communities it serves.
