What Sets Us Apart

Since opening in 1955, Bergen Orthodontics has developed a singular reputation in and around Bergen County because we always put patients first. From the moment you arrive, everyone on our team will be working to ensure that your visit to our office is a truly positive one.

Dr. Russell M. Sandman, Dr. Osnat Kuyunov and Dr. Michele Kaplan have realized a vision where patients have access to the highest quality of care, rigorously trained staff, and proven technology, without sacrificing an attention to detail that is nearly unheard of in today’s medical community.

Patients and their families enter a comfortable, warm, and welcoming office environment, where each knows they will be well cared for. Water, coffee, and free WiFi are available. Our team is made of friendly and compassionate individuals and we will make you feel you at home. We know that providing the best care is about building solid relationships. Anyone who is anxious or has had negative feelings about trips to the dentist will know immediately that ours is a truly safe place where our team members are interested in their well-being. You are always special to us.

We care about the quality of care you receive. Board certification, specialized training, continuing education, and constant interaction with the greater orthodontic and medical communities keep Dr. Sandman, Dr. Kuyunov, Dr. Kaplan and our team sharp. It is vital for us to stay in touch with developments in research, treatment, and standards with regard to best practices. Each member of our team is a trusted professional that has earned their stripes. We also make sure our patients have access to all the state-of-the-art technology that modern orthodontics can offer, as well as the most highly regarded and in-demand appliances, devices, and advanced materials.

We work with you to understand your specific needs and wishes. These will be thoroughly reflected in the treatment plan we create with you. Your treatment plan is not a carbon copy of anyone else’s. If you are unhappy for any reason, it will be altered to fit your wishes and we will follow up with you as treatments proceed. All of your questions will be answered and your concerns will be addressed. If an emergency or unforeseen problem arises, it is important that you let us know. We will immediately correct the problem. Everyone here understands that excellent smile design requires an emphasis on communication and active patient care.

We have a longstanding reputation in our community for civic participation. We love being a part of our corner of the world and strongly support it. Bergen Orthodontics is proud to be able to support the public events, organizations, sports teams, and institutions from which we all benefit. If you see our team out in the community, we urge you to stop by and say hello.
