When you call and come in to our office, you will be greeted by either Mignon (Scheduling Coordinator), Cindy or Susan (Financial Coordinator). All have extensive dental office experience and are there to enhance your experience with us. Ask them any questions you may have about scheduling, insurance, coordination of benefits and referrals.
Our Doctors and Hygienists strive to provide dental health care vs. disease care. Thats why we focus on thorough exams checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, were also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.
Infection control in our office is also very important to us. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
As your dental health professionals, we want you to be confident knowing that we are a team of highly trained and skilled clinicians. We pride ourselves in providing the care you need to keep your smile healthy. To give you the best possible service and results, we are committed to continual education and learning. We attend dental lectures, meetings, and dental conventions to stay informed of new techniques, the latest products, and the newest equipment that a modern dental office can utilize to provide state-of-the-art dental care. Also, being members of various professional dental associations helps us to stay abreast of the changes and recommendations for our profession.
Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is vital to our success. We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how we can make a difference in providing a relaxing and positive experience. Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

I had a cleaning and new fillings done recently and was really amazed at the superior level of skill by all who worked on me. Dr. Kraus was outstanding - his skills are only matched by his warm personality. The offices are clean and beautiful with comfortable new in-mouth devices to add extra protection from virus spread. The staff is the friendliest group of people you'll ever meet in a professional setting. What a fabulous dental office!

Have been going to Dr Brugos for many many years. A great professional staff, great office environment. Super friendly and always on time. Highly accomplished dentistry with superior results and prevention. Highly recommend. As an example of how good this office has been over the years, my mom has been using Dr Brugos since he started out. She is 98 and still has all of her teeth without ever having any issues or problems. That's why one goes every 6 months for a cleaning and check up. Again, Highly recommend.

I have been going to Dr. Krauss' office for the last 30 years. I really regret when I moved farther away and had to experience other dentists. I now make the drive to Dr. Krauss' office no matter what. I have 3 crowns from his office, and this week, I am having a more difficult 4th crown put in. I have full trust in Dr. Krauss and his work. He is so gentle, informative and thorough. Recently, when my car was in the garage, I biked 32 miles round trip rather than rescheduling my cleaning appointment with Cindy.
