There's something very reassuring knowing that you're not only putting your hands in one of the most skilled, experienced and qualified dentists, Dr. John Yang, but his patience and comfortable personal demeanor are quite notable. Read More Shots are painless and he's conscientious of the patient's positioning and ease throughout the procedure, which was commonly an issue with past doctors. It's a relief to find a doctor as reliable and trustworthy, so I would definitely recommend Dr. Yang. With relation to the office and staff, there's an efficiency and time consideration that I appreciate. Not only are they very friendly, but they seem to be on top of everything!!

Found my new dentist! I haven’t been to a dentist since about 2003, so I was nervous even though it was necessary to go. Making my first appointment was very pleasant and easy. They were able to get me in quickly, and I loved filling out the health questionnaire online to save time in the office. Everyone was very informative of what was going to happen and what my options were for treatments. They took great care of me with amazing bedside manner. Not only will I be back, my family will be seeing Dr John Yang as well.read more

This is a great place and everyone here is super friendly. I had a chipped molar pulsating so I decided to give this place a try based on the positive reviews on here. I called the office and had an appointment 2 days later. Great staff and service. Dr. Yang is very professional. I actually felt like he wanted to help me resolve the situation discussing options. I did not feel rushed in any way and everyone here listens to you. I'm glad I decided to come here. I highly recommend this place.read more

I can't say enough about Tru Family Dental. Dr. Yang did a fabulous job on replacing some old bondings, Tori was great, so supportive. Teri was so sweet and informative during my cleaning, she really cares about you! They all do! Oh yeah and Spencer at the front desk is great also! Everyone made me feel so good, they really do their jobs well. Since my old dentist retired, that I had been going to for over 40 years, I have been using different dentist.....I think I found my new permanent dentist! Thank you!read more

Today I got my teeth pulled for the 2nd time and it went so great. When I got my teeth pulled last week for the first time I was very nervous because I had never gotten my teeth pulled and it was just scary. When I got there Tori and Dr. Yang we so nice and friendly. Getting the numbness shot in your gum was probably the scariest part. I, being a 13 year old was very nervous and scared of the shot because I expected it to be very painful. Before you get the shot you get this numbing gel which numbs the tissue in your mouth. To be honest I didn’t even realize that he put the needle in because they were talking to me and distracting me. When the needle was put in it feels like your sibling is giving u a small pinch and you could barely feel it. During the process of pulling out my teeth all you feel is pressure and nothing else. Both times I went it was painless and easy. After your done your mouth feels like it’s a balloon and feels so puffy and funny! It was a wonderful experience and there is nothing to worry about when you go!read more

I had a tooth extracted last week at a different dental office (not a very good experience to say the least!)and was in severe pain. I wasn’t about to go back to that office so I found Tru Family Dental online and read all the wonderful and positive reviews. I gave them a call and Spencer was very helpful and got me in ASAP! Once there, Carrie was very helpful and comforting. I had severe anxiety from last weeks horrible experience! She helped ease my mind and prepared me for Dr. Yang. He was very helpful and gentle. Upon examination he saw a bone coming up from my gums! He was very gentle examining my mouth. I asked him for pain medication since he was going to have to remove the bone. Turns out there were 2 bones he needed to remove. It was painless!!! The procedure was easy and quick! I was extremely relieved!!! Carrie patched me up and I was good to go. Very excited to have found such a great dentist and staff! I’ve already set up my next appointment.❤️❤️❤️read more

Ok let me start by saying, if you're 'scared' of dental work, come here. The team of specialists here always make me feel like a rockstar. Dr. Yang's bedside manner is so genuine and sincere you really feel like family! Every one of the team members is sweet, compassionate and knowledgeable from the front desk to the back. I've been working on saving a molar for the last few months and have personally had Tori Cody as my dental assistant and she has been awesome to say the least. She's funny, attentive and makes me feel confident in my post op responsibilities and recoveries. I actually look forward to going to the dentist. I was referred here by a co worker of mine and will forever refer anyone else I know here as well. If you want a team that cares about your smile, experience, time and health to the fullest extent, this is where you and your family need to go. My children will be coming here and future generations. Thank you guys!!read more

Dr.Yang and his staff are wonderful.I never enjoyed going to the dentist in the past. In fact, I dreaded my dental appointments. That has all changed since I discovered Tru Family Dental.Dr Yang is kind, caring, and extremely gentle. I recently had to have multiple extractions and it was the best dental experience I have ever had. The procedure itself was fast, painfree , and much better than I had anticipated. The rest of the staff all genuinely care for their patients. That is proven by their warm smiles and sincere questions about how each of their patients are doing. Spencer does an amazing job at the front desk. He is fast, friendly and very knowledgable. Teri is always bright and cheerful and very welcoming.Brandee is bubbly and joyful and did the best teeth cleaning ever. Tori is fun and fabulous, always a smile and a comment to make you laugh. Especially if you look nervous.Carrie assisted with my extractions and she helped me relax and laugh before they got started. That is a true gift. She deserved a medal.I can't express how impressed I am with the entire staff. Each person brings special skills and abilities to their jobs . It is apparent that it is not just a job to them , but a calling. Dr. Yang completed the incredible care I received by calling me that evening to check up on me. He is an exceptional dentist and it is clear to me how truly concerned he is about providing the best care for his patients.Dr Yang and his staff are one in a million and that is why if it was possible I would rate them 10 stars instead of 5.read more

Our visit to Tru Family Dental for my son was impeccable. Spencer was great and very welcoming from the moment we stepped into the office. When we were brought back into the room, Tori was able to explain everything to him in a way my almost 6 year old was able to understand which helped him to not be nervous at all. Terri did a great job making his cleaning as easy as possible. He even enjoyed some of it! Then, throughout the visit, Carrie made a point to check in on him a few times and make sure he and I didnt need anything and was super friendly and great to chat with while we waited. When Dr. Yang came in, he spoke to my son and I about everything and made sure we understood and was really great with my kiddo. I would absolutely go back again. Overall, our experience was exceptional!!read more

Very relaxed and accommodating atmosphere, all the dental assistants are fantastic and very friendly along with the front desk. The dentist himself is very informative on the procedure that is going to be done and he completes it quickly with little to no pain and leaves you feeling with a healthy set of teeth. Best dental experience I've ever had!read more

Dr. Yang and staff are great. I am a paranoid and curious person and ask A LOT of questions - Dr. Yang actually talks the time to talk/explain things to me. It means a lot to someone like me, who struggles with anxiety over things kinds of things. Also, a very clean establishment, and personable staff (I love Brandee, I think her name is). Side note: for the first time ever, I actually didn’t feel Novocain shot. It was virtually painless thanks to Dr. Yangs care and patience.read more

They made her feel very comfortable with the procedure and completed the extraction without any complications. Thank you Dr. Yang and staff.We highly recommend Tru Family Dental to anyone who needs help.read more

OMG!!! Best dental office and staff I have ever had the pleasure (yes, my dental work from Dr.Yang and his staff was pleasurable) of meeting. I have avoided a dentist for over 13 yrs and I am 26. Needless to say, but I needed some work. First, Spencer at reception is quick, attentitive and caring. You don't wait long to be checked in, which is a huge plus when you are scared or nervous and in pain. Second, the hygienists/assistants are nothing short of AMAZING! They took the anxiety out of my visit in no more than a minute or two from just sitting me down. They are fun and supportive and very knowledgeable. They create such a relaxed and chill environment I was at ease the entire time, before, during and after my procedure(s). They actually care about your pain comfort and any concerns you have. Dr. Yang and his staff talk to you and treat you like a person and not just someone to bill. From the moment you meet the team, you will realize that this practice cares about keeping thier patients and giving the BEST medical care for you. Third, I want to give a MASSIVE shout out to Tori for making my xrays quick, tolarable and super accurate! Plus, she has nifty tricks that keep people like me who have a strong gag reflex from gagging and making a mess. Massive shout out to Terri/Carri as well for keeping me calm, relaxed, and assisting Dr. Yang in restoring many, many teeth of mine. She was so attentitive, and thorough and gentle! Lastly, another MASSIVE shout out to Dr. Yang, I truly believe that you will not find a more dedicated, caring and gentle dentist around. Dr. Yang shakes your hand upon meeting you and gives you that direct eye contact that says "I care." From the exact moment I met Dr.Yang, I felt comfortable, my nerves dissipated and I knew I just found a golden nugget of an office. I was excited to go get my dental work done, and that has NEVER happened before. I have had many bad experiences with dentists (some of the reason why I avoided them) in the past that left me feeling depressed amd hopeless. This was not the case at TRU Family Dental. I had a two and a half hour procedure and the entire time Dr. Yang was concerned with my comfort. I left in tears! Not from dissatisfaction or pain but from relief that I finally found a dental practice that cares and wants to help you. Best dental office PERIOD. I will be back, my family will be back and I would more than highly recommend this office, this wonderful amazing staff to anyone. Especially if you have a fear of dental work. Thank you so much TRU Family Dental! You have changed my life!read more

My daughter had a trampoline accident and broke her front tooth. We called the doctor's office at 8 o'clock at night from the ER and they immediately answered. We were seen first thing in the morning. Dr Yang was so good with calming her down and making it as comfortable as possible for her. His staff Carrie, Brandee and Terri were there and were amazing! They made sure she was as comfortable as possible and were very helpful with comforting her throughout her visit. She actually left smiling at the end. That says a lot!read more

Nice people and a modern facility but you pay for it, expensive compared to other dentists (the come on in price is a quarter of what you will typically pay and they aren’t on MetLife as I suspect they are so expensive). In terms of quality, my teeth never fealt that clean even though it was as they promised painless, that being said, when I’m paying to scrape the plaque off of my teeth use some muscle. I’ve gone three times now along with my family; will be trying Dartmoor down the road this next time.read more

This is Maurice Bello, I do not have a Google acct. so I am using my significant others. I don't like going to the dentist ! However, Dr. Yang and his staff have been very patient with me, explaining in detail, my options and choices, so I can make an informed decision. This makes me feel very comfortable. They also take great care in making sure that each procedure is as painless as possible and show true concern in terms of follow up. Of course, being knowledgeable and skillful is omnipotent !!read more

Excellent professional service. Jeannie talked me through the mind field in my mouth step by step. Dr. Yang knew I was a big chicken - set me up for a crown - didn't feel a thing! And, I believe Terri is the best hygienist in the country.

I've got a unique dental case (broke my jaw as a kid) and Dr Yang was able to give me an honest, economic assessment of the challenges I'm facing. In this day and age of "insurance" cat-and-mouse, bs answers from customer service representatives that neither represent nor serve the customer, that dose of honesty and straight-forwardness is refreshing and keeps me coming back. Good work Doc!read more

I can not say anything bad about my visits to Tru Family Dental. I have always felt the most welcomed by Dr. Yang and his staff. The staff is always smiling and makes you feel at home and comfortable every time you go in. Dr. Yang is a perfectionist and always wants to make sure that you are well cared for and that your dental health is his number one priority. He was recommended by a friend and I am glad that I decided to switch dentists. If you are looking for a new dentist, Dr. Yang is my recommendation!read more

Tru family Dental is truly an amazing place. Because of my insurance I went to different Dentist. Even though Dr.Yang was out of network it cost me much more money. Dr. Yang did not cost me more it was my coverage, But Dr. Yang is that good. I had to have custom made dentures, not an easy thing to do. But between the amazing lab Dr.Yang uses and Dr. Yang I have beautiful new dentures. I can not express enough how amazing Dr. Yang is. He so knowledgeable and so nice. The whole staff amazing and willing to work with you. I'm scared to death of Dentist, but not Dr. Yang, he's that good.read more

Always had a fear of dentists due to poor dental practices in the past. Got over that fear when starting going to my nephew. He has moved far away so I can no longer go to him. Dr Yang was recommended by a neighbor. Figured I'd try him out. I can not begin to tell you how pleased I was with him and his entire staff. Both the hygienist, Rachelle and Dr Yang very gentle, kind, knowledgeable and professional. Thumbs up and 5 stars to all of themread more
