Brett and Irene Druger DMD

My kids love going to this dentist. Need I say more?! Wonderful dentist that our whole family goes to

My whole family uses their services and I do love seeing Dr. Brett and Donna (my hygienist). But I have make sure that I book my appointments with them, to save myself from the lectures from the other hygienist and dentist in the practice for plaque and not flossing. This for a patient who has never had a single cavity in her life! I did not need that. I was also tired of being told that I needed to purchase an extremely expensive electric toothbrush and that ONLY full strength Listerine would work as a mouthwash. The hygienist would not even let me rinse my mouth with water during the cleaning.
Much happier with Donna — love her!

Our whole family goes to the Dental Family. I see Dr. Irene, and my husband sees Dr. Brett. My husband had some bad dental work done previously and was in pain, and Dr. Druger not only correctly diagnosed the issue (previous dentist told him it was a cracked tooth, Dr. Druger said just the filling was cracked), he fixed it and my husband has been pain free since. My son loves the friendly staff, watching TV, and the treasure chest at the end. My daughter just chipped a tooth and they fit us in right away with their pediatric dentist. She was fantastic and super sweet. My daughter left smiling and waving.

The Dental Family was recommended to me by a friend for my kids first dentist visits since they have such a family-​friendly office. We were so impressed that my husband and I have also switched over too and are extremely happy with the decision. The two main dentists are a husband — wife team with two children so they have truly thought of everything when it comes to kids experiences at the dentist. First of all, they have a little booklet they wrote about going to the dentist which uses cute terms like ‘Mr Thirsty’ for the suction thing, etc. and then they use the same terminology at the office so the kids understand. They made my nervous 3 year old daughter very comfortable, letting her pick a princess toothbrush, flavor of toothpaste, etc and she was literally giggling with the hygienist, Liz.
I remember that I used to hate going to the dentist as a kid, but it is actually a pleasant experience for all of us. FYI, I have also been happy with the services as an adult, I have had a number of cleanings there, 2 fillings and they have fixed a pain I have had for a few years. Highly recommended.

Everyone who works here is just so nice. I’m a terribly anxious dental patient & I’ve found them to be very understanding of that (giving me breaks during cleanings, etc). Also a very child-​friendly office. I love that there’s a small play room where my kids can hang out while I’m having my teeth cleaned.

I would give more stars, but Unilocal only lets me give five. I have flown from California to see them, because we all only get one set of teeth (after adulthood) and they take the best care of mine.
Big picture, I care about three things when it comes to my dentist:
1. Great at their craft.
2. Has my best interest at heart.
3. Continues to invest in themselves and their practice.
For the first, I’m pretty sure if other dentists friends needed something difficult looked at, they’d ask The Dental Family to do it. Brett, especially, as I’ve had more experience with him, loves teeth like great software engineers love code. You want a doctor who reads medical journals for fun on vacation — Brett is the dental equivalent.
For the second, they’re craftsmen whose love is that their patients have great teeth for their entire lives, and they love that above all else.
For the third, they have the latest equipment and the latest continuing education and training because they think dentistry will continue to evolve for the better, and they want their patients to receive that better care as soon as possible. I had bad experiences with other dentists before who were still taking film x-​rays and using metal fillings a few years ago long after better filling technology had become available. I know that won’t ever happen with The Dental Family.
Everyone is going to have a different opinion on specific things that don’t matter (i.e. I actually *like* seeing the plaque on my teeth so I know where to brush better), but I’ve not found anyone who disagrees on these core three things that do matter: quality, on your side, and continuing to improve.

These are hands down the best dentists I know, both in terms of their technical capability and their bedside manners. They are in fact so good, I will travel from California to Jersey just to get my teeth checked out by them! I went to a local SF dentist recently and got a bad oral surgery consultation, so I had the Drugers re-​examine me. They were incredibly thorough, and answered all my questions and concerns, on top of giving me great advice that I cannot thank them enough for. I hope everyone has a dentist like these guys where they live.

Going to the dentist is typically not an experience that anyone looks forward to. Luckily, at The Dental Family, they make it as good as possible. The facilities are very nice and clean and the equipment (although I am not an expert) looks very new and modern. The hygienists are polite and friendly, and you can listen to music on Pandora (you choose the station) the entire time.
Also, Dr. Druger is very friendly and informative. Personally, I like to understand what the issue, if any, are. It’s cool to see the blown up x-​rays of my teeth and where potential issue may be. I also would like to know what I can do to take better care of my teeth… we all know to floss and brush, but maybe there are certain areas that I am neglecting when I do that. That type of advice is great because while the experience at The Dental Family is great, the best advice they can give you is how to minimize dentist visits altogether!

Love this practice! My daughter’s orthodontist recommended Dr. Druger for her recent tooth extraction (5 of them!). Dr. Druger was amazing and the staff were super friendly. My girls have their new dentist!

I highly recommend The Dental Family. After a very bad experience elsewhere, I found the entire staff to be friendly and helpful and the office to be new and clean. I like that they use a lot of great technology to help make the experience more comfortable and informative. Dr. Irene has a great bedside manner and explained everything to me in detail during a recent procedure to make sure I was comfortable.

Everything was fine at my recent exam/​cleaning. The staff was friendly, the office was clean and bright, the hygienist was punctual, and she seemed to do a fine job.
But I could really live without the lectures. I don’t want to hear about the plaque on my teeth – that’s why I’m there. (I DEFINITELY don’t want to see pictures of it at ten times normal size.) Absent any kind of «we need to do this right now or in the next few weeks» issue, just scale, polish, and send me on my way. Don’t get me wrong, this office was no better or worse in that regard than any other dental office. I could just really live without the lectures; four stars without them.

I would highly recommend this practice to anyone! My daughter went for her first visit and was a bit nervous, but had a wonderful experience! The staff was above and beyond friendly, the place was immaculately clean, and most importantly, both husband and wife team were the BEST! Dr. Druger was very good with my 2 year old and made her feel comfortable! Plenty to keep the kids busy in the waiting room as well! I was very impressed by how clean everything was! Will not go anywhere else! — Monica Yawnick

My husband loved this dental office ! Dr Druger did a great job and EVERYONE IS SO FRIENDLY! Looking forward to going back.

My husband and I moved to the area and were in search for a new dentist. Google turned up The Dental Family– Drs Brett and Irene Druger, who are husband and wife team. Their office is brand new and gorgeous, and the staff is extremely friendly. One thing that stood out from me aside from the awesome staff was that they have technology I have never seen in all the years I have been going to a dentist! When doing my cleaning, the hygienist had a tiny camera that projected on a screen so she could show me things with my teeth that she was taking about. The cleaning was probably the best I have ever had just because the hygienist and Dr Irene both explained everything to me, asked me if I had questions and never made me feel rushed.
I was given a clean bill of dental health but unfortunately, my husband needed a filling. He said Dr. Brett did a great job and he had minimal pain/​uncomfortableness. We have a young son and it is nice that we will be able to bring him there, too.
Let’s face it– no one likes going to the dentist. However, The Dental Family makes it not as big of a deal because it is such a pleasant experience! I highly recommend them!
