Your dentist on
Palisade Avenue.
General and cosmetic care
Everyday dentistry for the whole family, plus the cosmetic work people notice most: bonding, crowns and whitening.
All servicesExams and Cleanings
Checkup, x rays and a cleaning. You leave knowing exactly what your teeth need.
Fillings
Tooth colored fillings that match the shade of the tooth beside them.
Cosmetic Bonding
Chips, gaps and old stained bonding smoothed and reshaped in one visit.
Crowns and Bridges
For cracked or heavily filled teeth. Fitted so it feels like your own tooth.
Root Canal Therapy
Saves a tooth that would otherwise come out. Gentle and fully numb.
Teeth Whitening
In office and take home options. Coffee and wine stains lift first.
Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, we take it out and plan the replacement.
Dentures and Implant Crowns
Full and partial dentures, plus crowns restored over existing implants.
Emergency Visits
Toothache, broken tooth or lost filling. Call and we will get you seen.
Family Dentistry
Kids, parents and grandparents booked back to back in one morning.
The same dentist, every visit.
Dr. Maria Apergis, DMD owns Palisades Smile and treats patients herself. No rotating associates and no handing you off halfway through.
Patients tell us the same two things: she explains what she is doing before she does it, and she does not rush. Several of them arrived after years away from a dentist.
Bonding, veneers and whitening
Most cosmetic cases here take one or two visits. Same teeth, better shape, shade and edge.

Maria is quite simply my favorite dentist of all time. I started going to her this past year and now my teeth are 100%. This is very important to me because I work in the film and tv industry.

Fort Lee first, then Edgewater, Cliffside Park, Palisades Park, Leonia, Englewood, Ridgefield and Fairview. Most patients are ten minutes away.
Where is the office?
1515 Palisade Ave in Fort Lee, NJ 07024. Call (201) 407-1075 and we will tell you the easiest place to park.
Are you taking new patients?
Yes. New patients are welcome. Your first visit is an exam, x rays and a cleaning unless something needs attention sooner.
Do you take my insurance?
Call us with your plan name and we will check it before you book. Several patients found us because Dr. Apergis was in their plan and in their town.
Who will treat me?
Dr. Maria Apergis, DMD. She owns the practice and treats patients herself with the same small team every visit.
I get nervous at the dentist. Can you help?
That is most people. We explain each step before it happens, work slowly and stop whenever you ask.
I have a toothache today. What now?
Call the office. Pain and broken teeth get worked into the schedule as soon as we have a chair open.
Can old bonding be fixed instead of replaced?
Often yes. Stained or rough bonding can be smoothed and reshaped so it blends again.
Do you see children?
Yes. We see whole families, and it is common to book parents and kids back to back.
How long does a crown take?
Two visits in most cases. One to prepare and fit a temporary, one to seat the final crown.
