I have been working at Champagne Smiles since 2007 and in that time I have worked at the front desk alongside Lisa, chair side with Dr. Champagne and Dr. Bichara, and most recently as the hygiene coordinator with Inga and Jane. I pride myself on really listening to our patients so that their experience in our office is the most comfortable it can be. What I love about our practice is that everyone goes above and beyond to treat our patients well. Its great to be a part of a wonderful dental team here at Champagne Smiles.
I joined Champagne Smiles in January 2012. I make sure that sterilization and supplies are taken care of. I am proud to be a part of the team and continue to learn from them everyday. It is great to work with a team that you consider friends and not just co-workers.
One of the things that I discovered early in my 25 years in the dental profession is that there is no such thing as a boring day. Since I consider myself a People Person interacting with such wonderful patients and co-workers on a daily basis is a blessing. I love to attend continuing education courses and recently completed a 3-day workshop in Arizona on Practice Building andwas happy to share the skills I acquired with my co-workers.
My husband Gary and I have a favorite expression which is Life is not a dress rehearsal which is why we try to live our lives to the fullest. We love traveling, Friday Night Happy Hour and long walks on the beach with our puppy, Prudence. Being a very active person I am very fortunate to live close to the Jersey Shoreline. My mornings consist of either taking a jog or riding my bike into Sandy Hook during sunrise; in the early evenings I enjoy kayaking on the Navesink River to watch the sunset.
I started working in the dental field as a front desk receptionist about 8 years ago. I learned how to assisted the doctors and obtained my x-ray license shortly after. I believe knowing the steps in any procedure and why it is being completed helps me better inform a patient when discussing treatment options and insurance coverage. Insurance companies are not always easy to work with, but I enjoy filing claims, sending appeals, and making sure our patients claims are paid for in a timely manner.
I am committed to providing the best quality service quickly and efficiently. I treat every patient as if he/she were my own family member. I want my patients to feel comfortable and happy with the results. I also make sure that I am up to date on whats new in the dental community. I graduated from Dentistry School as a Dental Lab Technician in 1996. I have many years of experience, and I also took many different courses afterward (online and live courses) to advance my knowledge and continue to improve my techniques.
My areas of expertise include performing all porcelain work and dentures. I am an expert on all dental lab operations. I have worked for years alongside dentists to provide patients with the excellent service they deserve.I am very excited that I joined the Champagne Smiles family in 2015 and I look forward to many great years providing the best care to our patients.
I completed my dental hygiene education at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ in 2005. Prior becoming a dental hygienist, I attended the University of Vilnius, Lithuania, and graduated with Bachelors Degree in Economics.
I pride myself in the ability to develop a close and strong rapport with patients giving them all attention and individual care they deserve. I joined Champagne Smiles in November 2013 and feel very fortunate and honored to be a part of such an amazing team of dental professionals.
I began my career as a dental assistant in 1996. I furthered my education to achieve an RDA in 2000. I maintain continuing education on a regular basis to maintain my licensing and to stay up to date on what dentistry has to offer. I have seen many changes and developments since my career began. I joined the Champagne Smiles team in October 2012. It gives me great pleasure to work with such a caring and dedicated team. We have helped so many wonderful patients and I look forward to helping more.
The light of my life, Callie, was born in 2007. We are very active and I enjoy watching the world through her eyes. A lot can be learned through the eyes of a child. She is inquisitive and curious to try new things, so she keeps me on my toes!
I began my career as a dental assistant in 2017.I joined the Champagne Smiles team in March 2021. I love working with such a caring and dedicated team. Im also in school studying to become an RDA and am loving my new position as the hygiene assistant to Valerie, Veronica, and Vilma. When I am not at work you will find me spending time with my family, boyfriend, and our puppy Louie.
My name is Prudence, and I am on the staff here at Champagne Smiles as our resident therapy animal. I am a combination of Poodle, Shih Tzu and Yorkie. I consider myself to be a very lucky girl. You see, my siblings and I were born in a place where it was very dark and cold. We were really scared. Thankfully, the Monmouth County SPCA found and rescued us. My mom is a volunteer there so as soon as she saw me, she knew she had to have me. Can you blame her, look at how cute I am. Now I have a safe, warm bed to sleep in and Im living a very happy life. I love going to the beach and chasing balls, but I especially love to swim and go for kayak rides. I even have my own life vest! But my favorite thing of all is making people happy. So thats why Im hereto make you smile.
Following his one-year dental implant training at NYU, he became focused on applying his cosmetic dentistry skills to dental implant restorations. His quest to provide his patients with dental implants that were not only functional, but beautiful as well, led him to develop New Jerseys Award-Winning Dental Implant Team.

Terrible business practices terrible office people terrible dentist he did my crown made it the wrong size and the wrong shape I had to have it fixed by another dentist overcharged me for everything and my car got robbed in his parking lot and they didn't care and they wouldn't let me see the cameras This is the worst dentist I've ever been to in my life and I don't complain about anything and he brags and says he's so good and my crown was the worst one my new dentist had ever seen and he said he should not be in business or have a license

Top notch service from a top notch team! The staff redefines what it means to be friendly, courteous, and professional. Everyone in the office popped in to say hi and checked how I was doing throughout my visit. Dr. Wadie is an amazing dentist, who pays attention to every detail and doesnt hesitate to make sure you are comfortable during your entire procedure. Amy is a true artist and designed my crown flawlessly. Valerie is a superb hygienist and meticulous. Every member, from the assistants to the insurance coordinator is knowledgeable and dedicated to ensuring your visit is pleasant and enjoyable. Highly recommend Champagne Smiles for all your dental needs. You will not be disappointed!

I am so happy that I finally found an office that truly cares about each of their patients. I had scaling and root planing done, and then went back today for the cleaning/check up. Valerie is the absolute most patient, kind person that I've experienced at a dentist's office. I have had a really bad experience in the past, so coming for something as simple as a cleaning has me in tears. Valerie made sure that I was feeling comfortable before anything started, and throughout the whole process she explained to me what was going on (that helps my anxiety!). A huge thank you to Valerie && Champagne Smiles for helping me feel at ease and making sure that I am taken care of!

Champagne Smiles is true to its name. Everyone in this dental practice is professional, knowledgeable and extremely kind. I had a very protracted course to my final dental work due to Covid shut down and my own medical problem but finally I have a finished product, my snap on dentures. Thanks to the skill of everyone at Champagne Smiles I am finally able to eat, talk and SMILE with confidence. Thank you all so much for your kindness, patience and skill.

Dr. Champagne and All the Team are amazing. Very friendly, welcoming and highly professional. To sit in the dental chair today i was thinking to myself if all people who are scared of dentists knew Dr. Champagne and his doctors they would only feel positive about visiting dentists.

I was not blessed with good teeth. As a result, my experience with different dental practices over the years was quite extensive, and not always positive. My son persuaded me to try Dr.Shampagne's practice, and I am very happy I did! They employ wonderful doctors, the great dental hygienist, exceptional dental assistants, very knowledgeable and helpful managers and receptionists. As for Dr.Champagne, the treatment he provided me with (three root canals) was magic. So: whoever is having dental anxiety, stop worrying and just trust this practice. You will be amazed!

Champagne smiles is the best dentist hands down!!! Everyone there is so nice and very professional. The office is so beautiful and so clean. Vilma did my cleaning and was so great! Dr. Wadie and Dr. Champagne are so good at what they do and very personable. Even everyone at the front desk was so sweet. Love that Renie too! Definitely recommend this dentist!!

My husband fears the dentist (has avoided going to years). Today, after his third visit, he came home after an appointment with a smile - this expression after seeing a dentist compelled me to write this review. From my personal experience, Champagne Smiles is the epitome of quality dental care in New Jersey. Words can not express the relief and trust I have in this office when it comes to my own oral health. They genuinely care about the health of their patients, and I am so happy this practice exists in Monmouth County. Champagne Smiles has helped me so much throughout the past couple of years - not only in my health but dealing with several different insurances. I highly recommend, especially after seeing my husband today.

I became a new patient this past year and I can honestly say I was nervous to come and see Dr Champagne since I haven't seen a dentist since COVID happened and I needed work done. When you get a personal phone call from the doctor on a Sunday to have a meet and greet before my Monday appointment, I knew I was going to the right place. From the all doctors, to the entire staff they all just make you feel so comfortable and so pleasant. Never any judgment and the professionalism is Top A+++ grade. They walked me through my procedure every step of them way. Never did I feel pressured or uncomfortable about my appointment. I highly highly recommend Dr. Champagne if you are looking for a new dentist.

I cannot recommend Champagne Smile and specifically Dr. Sarah Conway enough! I've been suffering with TMJ for years and the only solution given to me by other dentists were to wear a mouth guard overnight. I went to Dr. Conway and she was able to suggest Botox for my TMJ. After the first Botox treatment I felt immediate relief that last for months. I will continue this process, as it's changed my life!!
