They have been my dentists for years and they are truly a great team. Im very picky and always a little scared going to the dentist but im very comfortable here. Dr. Dinani truly knows what he is doing and i trust me 100%. Vita, Luis, and Nicolette are so patient and welcoming its really a different experience. And as always a special thanks to Maura who always helps me with any insurance issues. She takes the time to explain and really deal with the insurance companies.

I went in today to get a filling fixed. Dr. Brummel was great (as usual) and it was nice to see him and the staff fully suited up for covid measures. Sue was fantastic at the chair and I was in & out with super efficiency.

I saw Dr. Montenero for a chipped tooth and he was wonderful. He fit me into his schedule quickly, he explained all the options and the process along the way and when he was done you couldn't even tell that it had ever been chipped - it looked as good as new!

1. Great cleaning 2. Office is SUPER clean 3. They installed a hospital grade HVAC system 4. My dental insurance had a $50 deductible. It was waived because I'm filling out a Google review.

This dental group is just amazing even with all that we're going through. From the time you walk through the door you're greeted with a smile (behind a mask lol). Everyone is knowledgeable and will sit and explain any and everything you want/need to know. Love it!

Recently moved from California to Princeton and was struggling on finding a trustworthy and honest dentist. I had a particular situation where dentist in this area where trying to take advantage of my situation to profit more money. Until I tried one last place and was by far the best dental experience I've had. I was so impressed with the customer service of the front desk and how helpful they were. I cant even begin to express my gratitude for Dr.Brummel and his dental assistant. He truly cares about the quality of care with his patient and doing a honest days work. I'm thankful I found this dental practice and am gladly recommending this dentistry to all.
