His story...

Raised in the small town of Bradley Beach, New Jersey, Philip Hanapole spent his early years enjoying the benefits of the charming seaside community. The close-knit nature of the small town and his relationship with his childhood dentist inspired him to choose this profession. Knowing at such a young age that he wanted to be a dentist helped him forge a path for his future. He attended Asbury Park High School, Rutgers University and the New Jersey College of Medicine and Dentistry, where he received his doctorate.

"My life changed! My visits were punctual and convenient, my treatment plan was sensible, and the results phenomenal. I cannot thank Dr. Hanapole and his great team enough. I’ll never go anywhere else!"

—John LaMagra, West Allenhurst

After graduating from dental school, he worked for two other dentists and taught at his alma mater’s oral diagnosis department before opening his own practice in Belmar, New Jersey. This small office on Main Street soon became inadequate for his growing practice. Thrilled to be able to fulfill his dream of bringing quality dentistry to his own small town community, he began to look for larger quarters. He purchased the run down Belmar train station, turned it into his new office, and brought it back to its original glory.

After 10 years of practicing at this location, Dr. Hanapole’s vision of a newer, cutting-edge facility was realized by hiring the country’s top dental office designers to create his current space at 611 West Main Street in Belmar. Throughout the years of working in his practice, Dr. Hanapole and his staff have taken numerous courses to stay current in their field. After studying with some of the country’s top restorative and cosmetic dentists and seeing the effects this work had on patients, Dr. Hanapole decided to create a specialty practice focusing on improving patient smiles within the family practice that he already had. Now Dr. Hanapole offers it all. Patients now walk into an office that conveys comfort and serenity, are cared for by a staff that is educated in the most advanced techniques, and can be assured that they will walk out with the greatest smile possible.

Throughout his professional growth, Dr. Hanapole has been committed to excellence in developing his practice. By offering the BrightSmile system and building lifelong relationships with their technicians, he’s ensured a whole new level of outstanding work. When asked about his practice Dr. Hanapole says, “It is a realization of my biggest dream, I work with patients that I love, in a beautiful office, with a wonderful caring staff, and we give them all the reasons to feel better about themselves. I couldn’t be happier.”
