Bloomfield Dental Designs
Boris Alvarez, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

This was the BEST Dentist I have ever been to. I assure you I have been to several Dentist in my life because well, my teeth are hell. Dr. Alvarez is the kindest and gentlest Dentist that has ever treated me. I get very anxious when I have dental work, to the point that I start shaking. Most Dentist will keep pushing through but Dr. Alvarez keep checking on me throughout the procedure and reminded me to breath. I had an extraction done and it was quick and painless. I’ve had an ongoing issue with an abscess for years, and not one Dentist has ever told me that I had a cracked tooth, but Dr. Alvarez did. Also all of the other office staff were fantastic. It’s a very pleasant and inviting environment. I’m so thrilled with the results and service that I scheduled another appointment for a cleaning. I’m so glad I found this place!

I’ve been going to Dr. Alvarez for about 5 years and he is amazing. The office staff are very professional and the office space is immaculate. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and did an amazing job with my veneers. They look very natural and I always get compliments on my smile. I would highly recommend this dentist office if you live near Bloomfield.

This is going to be one of the most glowing reviews that I have ever written here on Yelp. I wish that I could give twenty stars to Dr. Alvarez and Bloomfield Dental Designs. I had the best possible experience during my office visit yesterday and every expectation was exceeded. I had been experiencing some pain in my tooth and jaw for several days. Initially, I thought that it was attributable to grinding my teeth for a couple of nights and that it eventually would go away. Alas, it persisted and it was getting worse. As Murphy’s Law would have it, the pain became unbearable on a Saturday and my current dentist didn’t have office hours (plus, her website where you can purportedly book appointments online was down; I couldn’t wait to call on Monday). A search online led me to Bloomfield Dental Designs and thankfully they had a slot available yesterday afternoon. Same day appointment AND they took my insurance! The new patient paperwork was easy and straightforward – no duplicative or useless questions. The receptionist was very polite, personable, and friendly. There was no wait either. Even though it was a same day appointment, I was seen at my scheduled time. I couldn’t believe it. The nurse took some X-rays and asked me about the pain that I was experiencing. I was also asked what I wanted to watch on television. I was given a keyboard and they have Netflix. What??? Dr. Alvarez then came in and introduced himself. He is extraordinarily kind and took the time to carefully explain that I had a “pocket” which was attributable to either having braces or a mouth injury I had in that area as a child. He also explained the treatment I would have that day from the hygienist, the medication required, and potential next steps. The hygienist carefully treated the area and then told me what do before my next appointment in two weeks. Dr. Alvarez then met with me at the front desk before I left to personally give me my prescription, the handwritten instructions, and shake my hand. Granted, parking may be difficult at times because it is near Bloomfield College and right off of Bloomfield Avenue. There is a parking lot nearby and if you are a Bloomfield resident, their office is in a convenient location right in the heart of downtown. Dr. Alvarez and Bloomfield Dental Designs will be my go-to dentist until my upcoming move. Their office is clean and modern and everyone is so nice. I even received a text as soon as I left reminding me of my upcoming appointment so that I could put it in my phone (instead of a card). If you are looking for a new dentist in the area, Dr. Alvarez is great!

After several failed attempts in finding a good dentist since I moved to NJ, my search is finally over!  From their receptionist and the hygienist to the Dr. Alvarez they are outstanding! My only regret was not finding them  4 years ago! I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for an outstanding dentist including to those who have phobia to dental visits.  They make you feel comfortable and are very patient to answer all your questions.

This dentist and all the people working there are amazing. I had some really bad experiences with my last two dentists and I was referred to this one by a friend who highly recommend him. This dentist listened to my concerns took everything I said into account explained everything that needed to be done even drew me a picture to explain and he said he was able to save my tooth that two other doctors said they had to remove. He takes a lot of pride in his work. I’m very happy I found this place it’s far from me but I will take the drive for me and my son to have a good dentist.

I’ve been doing to Bloomfield Dental Designs for a few years now and have been consistently happy with the entire office’s service and Dr. Alvarez’s knowledge. For years I suffered from TMJ pain and visited several different dentists to treat it, Dr. Alavarez effectively treated the pain with a simple corrective device. Recently I had a indescribable pain in my teeth and Dr. Alvarez was able to pinpoint it immediately without unnecessarily drilling into my teeth or blindly providing antibiotics … turned out it was nerve pain from a neck injury and with physical therapy the teeth pain went away. I highly recommend Bloomfield Dental!

Dr. Alvarez and his staff are very patient in explaining all aspects of your needed dental care. He reviews all available options and readily explains the pros and cons (if any) of each therapy. He is sensitive to the level of pain tolerance for each individual. As well as the challenges of convenient scheduling. His practice came highly recommended to me by several persons that I trust implicitly. I’m glad to call him ‘My Dentist’. I readily travel over 70 miles for this level of excellence in dentistry. You will too!

Bloomfield Dental Design is the best well-kept secret this City has had for many years. I am lucky to have recently discovered this practice. Dr. Boris Alvarez is the consummate professional. He made it very easy for me to understand his plans. Moreover and probably the most important, his charges and fees is very competitive. Complimenting, Dr. Alvarez skill and talent in this field is his Front Office. The ladies are very courteous, kind and very accommodating. Kudos to all, I always felt at home.

From setting up appointment, registration and check up process, all staff and doctor you met were wonderful, professional and dedicated people. Dr. Alvarez is super gentle and caring. This surpasses all dentist experiences I have ever had. He truly listens to my concerns and explains everything in detail. The staff is phenomenal. More than that, everyone was making sure I was comfortable during my visit. I like my hygienist, Bibi, very much. She is very thorough, efficient, kind, caring, thoughtful and encouraging.
