He attended the University of Rhode Island as an undergraduate, and the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dentistry. During the summer months, he worked as a vendor at Yankee and Shea Stadiums.
He graduated dental school in 1980 and got married that September. He worked for Public Dental Service in Brick and The Tooth Group in the Ocean County Mall until he opened his own practice in the Bellcrest Plaza on Fischer Blvd. in 1983.
On December 12, 2011, he and his staff moved into their current location at 557 Fischer Blvd., next door to Obco's Donuts. The practice was displaced for 7 weeks when Superstorm Sandy ripped through the office. After re-building, Dr. Merguerian was happy to return to his beautiful office.
We are located at 557 Fischer Blvd. in Toms River, NJ, between the Hot Tomato Restaurant and Obco's Donut Shop. It is one of our top priorities to protect the well-being of our valued patients. For this reason, our office meets and surpasses all OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and CDC (Center for Disease Control) standards. We are confident that you will feel right at home in our office as we welcome all patients as if they were family.
We do our best to determine your benefits ahead of time so that at the time of your visit, you do not have to pay the entire bill. You are only responsible for the deductible and co-pay at the time of treatment. As a courtesy for our patients, we will wait for the insurance company's payment after treatment is completed.
Every once in a while, the insurance plan changes after we have processed the benefits, or we get the wrong information from the insurance representative. Insurance companies will notify the patients or insured parties of changes, but they will not notify the provider's office. Therefore, we ask our patients to keep us informed of any changes in their insurance so there are no surprises.
We offer state-of-the-art handpiece and instrument autoclave sterilization at 250 degrees F. We utilize side delivery instrument trays so that the doctor does not have to reach for instruments over the patient.

Dr. Merguerian and his staff were absolutely amazing . I needed a dentist because I had moved down here from up north . I was very nervous especially going to another Dentist for over 20 years . The Dr. made me feel very comfortable and relaxed as his staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Merguerian. He now is my permanent dentist .

Love this place.....(as much as anybody could love getting dental work done that is.) Doc is no nonsense and as straightforward as they come. Appointments are fast with little to no wait when you walk in. Plenty of Novacaine made for a painless experience. He must not have a house on the hills like every other dentist in the area. I pay out of pocket and the billing was significantly less than I was expecting. I can't guarantee everyone will get this kind of service but the first time I met Dr. Warren was on a Sunday of all days. I called in agony at 7:30 in the morning on a Sunday. Left a message hoping that he check them throughout the weekend and sure enough, he did. Had me in the chair by 11:30 AM the same day. ON A SUNDAY he came in for an emergency extraction. Who does that in 2022? HE does!!

At 70 years old I've been to many dentists. Dr Merguerian is by far the best dentist I've ever been to. He's efficient, definitely talented, (he matched my cap perfectly) and economical. I enjoyed the music, the light small talk. The shot of Novocain was barely felt and I left feeling no pain even later after the Novocain wore off. I believe his ability saved me from a root canal as he said the cavity was close to the nerve. He repaired what needed to be done and didn't push more work as I have had other dentists do I'm very grateful

I'm not a big fan of the dentist, as most aren't. My experience was amazing. I had an extraction done and felt nothing. He made me feel so comfortable and he is not my dentist. I wouldn't go anywhere what. Highly recommend.

I moved to toms river from Bay ridge brooklyn few years ago and have been terrified of dentists and needles my entire life, went to multiple dentists around ocean county for check ups cleanings etc, I can truly say Dr. Warren is the outright most honest, affordable, professional, gentle handed dentist I've ever meet. I'm not scared of shots anymore and excited to get much needed work completed without fear going forward. God bless Dr. Warren and his staff I can't be more grateful for the experience. Thankyou again.

This is where you should go if you are looking for a new Dentist or you are looking for One. Your teeth are important and the prices are affordable. I would recommend to anyone reading this and I'm gonna also recommend him to people I know personally that need a great Dentist.

After breaking an old filling in my front tooth on, of all days, New Year's Eve, Dr Merguerian was kind enough to see me as a first timer emergency patient and his last patient for the year! You can imagine my relief after all the calls I made! I really can't overstate how good my experience was. I'm a nervous patient to begin with, but in a new dentist's chair even more so. Dr Merguerian's front desk person was wonderful and immediately put me at ease. She is so nice and a real asset to the office. After a few minutes I met the Dr. He also immediately put me at ease as I quickly came to realize that I was in very experienced hands; for the very first time ever, in my long 59 years of going to the dentist, I didn't know I was given an injection. Let that sink in. The Dr was so incredibly expert that I missed it. Completely. Talk about technique! The worst was over and I hadn't even noticed! Amazing, simply amazing. The tooth was filled in record time. It feels great and my wife says it looks better than ever before (it's a central incisor so that's big). My last dentist (of 20 years) retired a bit before the lock down. I have since been to a couple that weren't a good fit for me. I am now happy, grateful and proud to call call Dr. Merguerian my dentist. I only wish I had found him sooner! 6 STARS if I could!

I have been with this man as a dentist for many years! Unfortunately I moved to NC where the quality of dentists and the art are lacking so when I had an issue with something that happened down there I called to see if I could get in with this wonderful dentist. he was able to get me in that next day! I am one that needs laughing gas when getting fillings so I can relax well lets say in his chair I can fall asleep when he is doing work in my mouth. Now that I have regular insurance I will always come back up for my 6 month cleanings and work. Oh and my sensitive tooth is now gone! Thanks again for a wonderful experience

Dr. Merguerian and his staff are really upbeat and make you feel very commfortable. He takes his time to make your experience as comfortable as possible. I have had plates and partials done over the years and always had to go back many times for adjustments. Dr. Merguerian took his time and I only required 1 very slight adjustment. I highly recommend him. He is the best.

Saved my vacation. Got me in right away. Was in pain for a couple days and couldn't sleep. Yanked out a tooth and instantly felt better. I live 45 minutes north of Chicago and wish I had Dr Merguerian up by me. Thank you again. Go Bears

Dr. Merguerian and his staff are the best! I had to have my one wisdom tooth out which I was freaking out about but he did an amazing job and I had no pain during or after really once the novocaine wore off! I'm so grateful and he also filled in a cavity I had and cleaned my teeth quickly while I was there all within an hours time! Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic.I'm terrified of dentists as it is, and I was on vacation and ended up with a bad tooth pain. They got me in within 2 hours and extracted my tooth. Dr was wonderful and made sure I was comfortable. I'm from out of state and the price was very reasonable as well. I would drive down here to see this dentist all the time. THANK YOU
