When and how did your business get started?

We opened our doors on June 14, 1999, but our story begins many years before. Both Dr. Goldberg and Greenebaum's fathers had thriving dental practices in this community. During a chance meeting on the train on their way to an annual dental convention in 1997, the idea of merging their two practices was born. The result was The Center for Dental Excellence - a beautiful new state-of-the-art facility and a happily growing family of staff and patients!

What is your business best known for?

"Going to my dentist is like visiting old friends, who always act like they miss me ..." That's the experience we're best known for! We provide our patients with extraordinary care, no matter what their dental needs. Our dental staff offers cosmetic and restorative dentistry, sealants, sleep appliances, extractions, whitening, cleanings, periodontal care and more. We offer free second opinions and complimentary consultations. One of our favorite days of the year is when we hold our Dentistry from the Heart event, offering dental care to those in need for no charge. We saw 105 patients on April 12, giving them a dental cleaning, a filling or an extraction. See some of the smiles shared that day in this Facebook Photo Album.

Does your business offer a special deals card or program?

We show our patient appreciation in lots of different ways! One of our patient favorites is our VIP program. Members of this group get free teeth whitening, a birthday dinner, priority scheduling and parking, and a discounted office visit! Another program that is very helpful to patients who don’t have dental insurance is our Dental Assistance Savings Plan, making their dental treatment much more affordable.
