Bernard Bomberg, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

This was by far the greatest experience I’ve had at any doctor And as a veteran I’ve been too many, 2 appointments, 1st appointment for a X-ray I was in-and-out in about 15 minutes, 2nd appointment for a extraction, from my appointment time I was out of there in 35 minutes with a very pleasant experience although I couldn’t talk to well, lol, Highly recommend. I also was referred.

They got me in immediately for an urgent nasty toothache today and took care of it on the spot. I’ve been going there for decades and Dr Pham, who took over from Dr Bomberg a few years ago, has a really gentle touch. That is very appreciated when the novoacaine wears off. So far, for regular check ups, cleanings, fillings, an implant, and today’s emergency, I am really happy with this practice.

Very pleasant experience. I was fit into the schedule quickly for a cleaning and a subsequent filling that needed attention. Friendly staff who’ve all been there forever. Always a good sign when a business can retain staff. They actually saved me money by letting me know the previous dentist I was seeing was doing work that either didn’t really need to be done, or could be “watched”. While I never like the Novocain shots, they did a great job and I felt no pain during the drilling… Sensible and so far only good things to say. Will bring my wife and kids here.

If you want a dentist office where you feel “at home” this is it! Everyone you interact with is incredibly friendly and professional. From the receptionist, office manager, hygienist, and dentists……..you get an “A” team. I switched from another outfit down the street and was looking for an incremental improvement; what I found was a HUGE difference. I felt the other place cycled you through and there were always long waits. Here they help you by informing you of everything so you can be your own advocate on making the right decisions. The best thing is that I’ve never had to wait more than 2-3 minutes! Sometimes they greet you at the door and walk you back to your room. I will be a life long client 🙂

This is an awesome practice! Dr. B. and Julia who I usually see are amazing! Very thorough and really know what they are doing! ! Also, I think anyone who works there has to pass a humor test!! I will have to look into the massage chair that Stephanie R mentions; I have not had one when I have gone there 🙂

Our family of four has gone to Snelling Avenue dentistry for four year and were very pleased. Unfortunately, my company switched to Delta Dental PPO which Snelling Ave Dental doesn’t accept so we’re stuck finding a new dentist. Now we know how good we had it. This is a well run outfit that requires little waiting to be served. When the work is beyond their capabilities, they have a good network of specialists to refer us to (implant surgeon for me, pediatric dentist for my daughter who had particularly unique difficulties).

A+ It’s a shame I can only give them five stars. Dr. B is the best in the business, and so fun too! He has done my veneers and crowns and everything else I can think of and all of it has fit perfectly. His staff is just as good as Dr. B especially Julia to whom I have been going for the last nine years. If I moved to another state I would still drive/fly back to see my friends there; and they do feel like friends. When I leave their office from say getting a routine cleaning, my cheeks hurt, not from the dentistry but from laughing. Please leave your current dentist and come see Bernie and his awesome crew.

Great clinic. I have been to a few places over the year and they have been ok. I was truly impressed. Clearly everyone liked working there, all friendly and nice. They were able to get me in same day due to a cancellation. They pulled all my insurance information and made the check in process very easy. The hygienist was amazing, the best I have had. She did a great job clean and explaining things. She was even able to floss under my fixed retainer, other hygienists just gave up or caused a lot of pain. Update: I went in today and needed a small filling, lucky they have a little extra time so they were able to do it this morning so I did not have to come back again. What great service!

I have never liked a dentist more in my life. I have even written a 1 star Yelp rating for a dentist before, so I’m really not kidding. At Snelling Ave Dental, I have always felt welcomed being there from checking in at the front desk to sitting in the patient’s chair. Everyone is extremely friendly and loves chatting with patients when they’re up for it. (Pro tip: Talk about food. They LOVE to try new foods and share their foodie experiences.) I’ve visited here for a total of 3-4 times over one year, and I like how seriously they take their work here. During checkups, the doctor informs me of ways to improve my brushing and the spots that might need more attention. Something that’s super simple, but I’ve never been told by a dentist what spots I haven’t been reaching. Besides checkups, I also had a mouthguard fitted because I constantly clench my teeth when I’m stressed. It was a pain-free process, and they checked my insurance coverage and gave me a quoted price before initiating the whole process. Their communication is amazing and there was no confusion. I’m really sad that I can no longer go to Snelling Ave Dental because I moved out-of-state recently, but I’m so happy that I was able to find a dentist that I was satisfied with.

I have been seeing Dr. Bomberg for my dentistry needs since I got my first tooth!  After 2 decades of of care, I would probably come back to Snelling Avenue Dental even if I moved halfway across the planet!  I am always treated promptly, and the hygienists are friendly, don’t lecture too much, and are also quick!  (No one wants to spend forever in the dentist chair!)  My fave hygienist even has a massage pad on the chair for a relaxing experience!  Even I can’t believe I can describe a trip to the dentist as relaxing!
