Dr. Tong and Dr. LaCap dont just work in Tappan, they live and raise their family here, too! Nothing makes them happier than having the opportunity to serve their friends and neighbors on a daily basis, and if you ever see them around town outside of the dental office, youre encouraged to come say hi. They and the rest of our team truly care about this community and doing whatever they can to make it a better place for everyone.
Thanks to our locations in both New Jersey and New York, youll never have to travel far to get the personalized, comprehensive dental care you deserve. Our Tappan location even has a fully-dedicated pediatric dental office above our general practice, making things even more convenient for local families. Between our dental offices and an extensive menu of dentistry services, well help you save time at every single visit!
You havent experienced truly comprehensive dentistry until youve visited Smile More Dentistry. Our smile team includes experienced general dentists, a fully-certified pediatric dentist, an orthodontist, endodontist, TMJ-specialist, and even a dental anesthesiologist. Basically, whenever you come to see us, you can trust that youre being treated by a dentist who has literally spent years, even decades, learning how to provide exactly what you need at the absolute highest level. No other dental office can say this!
Brandon has been working in the dental field for over three years now, and he really enjoys helping our dentists create amazing smiles that change lives for patients in need. He studied at Seton Hall University and has also attended courses in dental management and leadership at the Scheduling Institute in Georgia.
Brandon is actually Dr. Lacap and Dr. Tongs oldest son, and he serves as a Jack of All Trades throughout the office in fact, you might see him filling in for nearly any position! In his free time, he enjoys going on hikes, practicing art, and snowboarding.
Originally from Palisades, Ayesa earned her education from Binghamton University. She really enjoys working with all kinds of people here at the practice and making sure patients feel genuinely comfortable in the treatment chair!
Dan, our talented hygienist at Smile More Dentistry, is guaranteed to give you the best cleaning you have ever had. Starting as a young child, Dan always wanted to be part of the dental field. With a warm and friendly smile, Dan is there to make sure all our patients receive a five-star experience. Prior to being a hygienist, Dan was an ice hockey coach in Maryland for 5 years! When not in the office, you can find Dan outdoors with his wife and two children.
Lesley is one of our versatile superheroes in the office, as she takes on both the Recare Coordinator and Assisted Hygiene roles. What she enjoys the most about working here is interacting with the patients, and she loves to help those who havent had the best dental experience before finding us. Before working at Smile More, she once worked with kids as a camp counselor.
Caroline is one of our talented dental assistants. We appreciate that she goes over and beyond being an assistant for not one, but both office locations of ours! Caroline knows how to make a patient feel safe and at ease in the chair. Whenever our team members or patients are in need of assistance, Caroline is always right there to lend a helping hand. In her free time, she likes to spend it with her friends and family.
With a teachers aid background, Amanda takes great pleasure in serving our patients here at Smile More! Amanda is our Financial Coordinator who loves to help patients receive the best deals, while achieving their best smile. She loves her staff because they feel like family to her. She also enjoys that she gets to learn something new everyday and seeing patients achieve their smile makeover. In her spare time, Amanda enjoys spending it with her boyfriend, Jesse, and her Shih Tzu named Chloe!
Although Mitali is relatively new to our team, she has 10+ years of experience in the dental field under her belt! She loves coming to work each day to enhance and uplift her patients smiles with the world-class service they deserve. From childrens to geriatric dentistry, she truly enjoys providing patients of all ages with the absolute best dental care.
Originally from India, she came to the U.S. to complete her studies at the New York University. She comes from a huge family, who come to visit her often. When she isnt spending time with her loved ones, she enjoys hiking, going to the beach, swimming, reading, and playing board games!
Enisa became a hygienist because she has always enjoyed helping people and giving others a boost of confidence, and a smile is one of the first things you notice. Being a dental hygienist not only helps patients with their oral and general health, but also boosts their confidence with a beautiful, shiny, clean smile. At Smile More and Washington Dental Associate, both teams are extremely eager to not only welcome patients but new coworkers as well. Everyone was very welcoming, helpful, and supportive. When I'm not working, she enjoys hanging out with her wonderful family! She has a family full of foodies, always having big family lunch and dinners together!

I discovered this business through Groupon however we will return with or without Groupon. The facility is kid friendly, clean and engaging. The staff is professional, friendly and great with children from the front desk throughout the entire process. Dr. Arielle has a warm and engaging demeanor. She explains every step thoroughly in a fun way that children can understand. This is the first time my child hasn't cried during a dental visit. We can't wait to return!

My family and I have been going to Smile More for years now. The office is so welcoming, comforting and fun especially for my daughter. The staff has always been very friendly and accommodating. Dr. Tong has always been informative and pleasant to be with. Overall, the treatment and care is top-notch. I think it is important to feel comfortable and relaxed when going for a cleaning or treatment, Smile More is the place that does just that and more.

This was my toddler's first ever dentist experience. He has been reluctant to even brush his teeth at home and we expected that he would be very scared at this visit. However everyone was fantastic, from check-in to the praise on the way out. They were very gentle, comforting and made it a great experience.

Dr. Tong is absolutely wonderful. We moved 45 minutes away and still make the trip to see him because it is absolutely worth the trip! The BEST bedside manor, wonderful office, and friendliest staff. This is the pediatric dentist to go to!

My 4 years old daughter loves to be there. This place is so comfortable, friendly, clean and cozy. I can say that this office is the best pediatric dentist office I have ever seen! The front office staff is kind and helpful and don't wait there more than 10 minutes to be called in. Dentists, dental assistants and technicians are very patient and kind with the children. Highly recommended!
