Jeff Brucia, DDS

After going to three other dentists and prosthodontists, my first appointment with Jeff was like hitting the jackpot. I had confidence in him, and now, after the crowns, I feel the same. He caused himself more time and trouble to make me comfortable with the procedure and make sure I was happy with the appearance of the crowns. Five-​star recommendation without reservation.

Going to the dentist is never fun, but the great staff at Dr. Brucia’s office definitely eases the experience. Dr. Brucia is extremely talented, but I want to give a special shout out to his hygienist, Crystal. She is patient and thorough, but most importantly, she genuinely cares for her patients. Wendy at the front desk is so pleasant. The only reason I cannot justify giving them five stars is the price. But then again, a healthy smile is pretty priceless.

Dr. Brucia and his staff are fantastic! The quality and commitment to their work continues to amaze me. I am very thankful for this team and can not recommend them enough!

Dear Dr. Brucia! I would give you 6 stars if I could. Or maybe even 7! And come on, people, stop whining about the cost. You end up paying twice for bad dental work anyway…

Dr. Brucia is a fantastic dentist. He studies up on the newest and best procedures, and he takes real pride in his work. Yes, he is very expensive, but you get plenty of value for the dollar.

Called to make an appointment for a basic teeth cleaning. Today is May 14, and they don’t have an opening till July. LOL
It’s called a hygenist. They clean teeth. They can be trained at Foothill college or I think UCSF, and if you’re backed up a month and a half for appointments, maybe Brucia should smell the coffee and hire more hygenist help. If it was open heart surgery, I could understand a month and a half wait.

Such a good dentist. He has fixed problems that plagued me for years and other dentists could never fix. The only negative is that he is very, very pricey.
At least he is worth the price.

Best dentist I’ve ever had. I seriously considered commuting twice a year from NY for cleanings after I moved.

i’ve been going to brucia ever since i moved to sf & got a job with insurance (!), over 5 years ago.
some people are lucky and find their callings in life: dr. brucia is one of them. his skills in dentistry are met only by his knack for working with people. he has a comforting and friendly way of communicating that make an oft «dreaded» trip to the dentist a breeze.
the receptionist and hygienists are friendly & do their jobs well.
the office location is lovely as well, with the windows looking out over the greenery of washington square. parking isn’t perfect, but if you give yourself an extra 10 – 15 minutes to look, you can find free street parking within a couple of blocks.

Dr Brucia is the best dentist I’ve ever had. I’ve been with him for 6 years as of this writing. I trust him completely. He doesn’t cut corners, nor does he take insurance, and therefore, his services are quite expensive but in my view, worth every penny because I have never had a problem with his work and have full faith and confidence that he’s doing the right things in the right ways. He has a pleasant and caring personality and always shows interest in my health from a holistic perspective. I also very much appreciate that he gives very clear advise on what needs to be done and when it needs to be done. For example, I’ve had a tooth that needs a crown replacement. We’ve been ‘watching’ it for 3 years. He told me that now it needs to be replaced but he didn’t pressure me to do it sooner than was really necessary.

have you ever heard how a talented equestrian can look into the mouth of a horse and tell the health by looking at the teeth? if it weren’t for Dr. Brucia I would have been put down and resting in a bottle of elmers. My teeth could have gone to harvard and graduated with a doctorate with the amount of backing they have gotten since 7^th grade. There probably isnt a dental/​orthodontic procedure I am not intimately familiar with; and really, getting dental xrays or fillings can make almost anyone grumpy… and yet the staff at this place is nice, (without being stepford or condescending) warm, and helpful. If I want to make with the small talk, they make. If I just want to take my Novocain flap lips and stalk broodingly out into the world thats not a problem either. 12 years have passed and I have never had a bad experience; even the assistants seem to have the knack of making the time go quickly and painlessly. This is going to sound crazy but Jeff seems to specialize in putting a needle into your mouth without you feeling it at all. Is there a more technical term? Probably. I got an inkling I was in bad shape when I first showed up there 12 years ago (with zero insurance) because he took a picture of my tooth to put in his powerpoint lecture. Turns out he is one of the finest cosmetic dentists around, and hearing him talk about dentin density and enamel hues you get the idea he’s a real craftsman. Highly recommended.
