About de Bruin Dental Center
Jaw and airway-focused dental care features prominently, with some patients reporting improved breathing and sleep alongside straighter teeth.
de Bruin Dental Center is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, clear aligners, early treatment, and TMJ treatment. Beyond routine cleanings and fillings, several reviews mention bite and jaw alignment work tied to better breathing and reduced snoring or headaches, and the office is noted for numbing and cleaning techniques that keep anxious patients comfortable. A handful of reviews describe orthodontic treatment moving quickly toward visible results, though a couple of others describe a multi-year case that didn't resolve as hoped.

Reviews mentioning orthodontic treatment describe jaw alignment work that improved breathing and sleep alongside cosmetic progress, with some patients noting quick straightening results; one review, however, describes three years of treatment that worsened an overbite at a cost of about $7,000.

Highly recommend this center for quality of work, and excellence of care and service overall. But like any business, it's the staff that puts the dental center over the top! The front desk is welcoming and will always work to find the day and time to 110 percent accommodate your schedule, the dental assistants are professional, explain treatments/procedures, and caring. Seriously. Their patients are job one. Finally, Dr deBruin is also patient focused, easy to work with and would be too modest to reveal that many of his patients are referred from fellow dental professionals from various specialties for his level of care.
Had a great dental cleaning - almost painless and then a new crown was placed easily - Super visit!
Excellent staff. Gentle and thorough cleaning. Dr deBruin is hands on and very congenial. Recommend Dr deBruin if looking for exceptional care.
Dr. de Bruin, is so kind with excellent skills and communication and his amazing Dental Tech Megan have been a Godsend to find and I’m so grateful to them and the staff I’ve met so far, Mara at the front Desk, Elena who took intake welcoming me, and Leanne another fine Dental Tech who assisted me. After my implant was in and I waited the required healing time and then some as my awesome Dentist of 20 years had retired, my phenomenal new Dentist, Dr. Tom de Bruin just placed a new crown on the implant and I cried with joy to have my two back teeth, upper & lower working together in unison as a Merry Christmas present to myself! Thanks, and Christmas Blessings to you all at de Bruin Dental Center!
Best in town. Son’s first dental visit and he absolutely loved it. Great people, communication, and superior knowledge.
