So much good to say about Bruggeman Dentistry! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. I am absolutely terrified of the dentist and I can honestly say that Dr. Kevin makes you feel so comfortable and at ease the moment you sit down. I HIGHLY recommend Bruggeman Dentistry Dr.

Worst dentist ever!! After being told I needed a double root canal, I came to there office for a second opinion. I was told to rub sensitive toothpaste on a tooth that needed a root canal!! I ended up getting the root canal I needed elsewhere after there office failed to notice a problem. I would not recommend!!

Our family started going to see Dr Bruggeman maybe a year and a half ago. Our previous dentist retired and we were lost. After visiting so many other offices and not finding a good fit for our family we came across Dr Bruggemans office. I cant say enough about the excellent care we have received. They are so very honest and caring, great with kids and overall just the best dentist office I have found in a while. You feel like family the minute you step in. Thank you for caring for our family

Not sure if a free 1st re-alignment was included -was told so, but had to cancel when reception told me I'd be charged. Nothing in writing, not good communication. $3K for a full upper and a bone frag. dismissed.

I've been going here since I was 8 years old everyone who I've recommend says they would never go anywhere else. If you are struggling to find a great dentist you can stop. You've just found the best one.
