Since 1961, Gentle Dentistry has helped Bergen County families smile with confidence. Three generations in, Dr. Andrew Spector brings 34 years of implant experience and 30 years teaching lasers, implants, and CAD/CAM technology to other dentists. His work has been featured on CBS, ABC, and in The New York Times. His son, Dr. Jay Spector, a New York University Dental School graduate and Certified Solea Laser Practitioner, continues that tradition with a modern, minimally invasive approach. Gentle Dentistry was voted a 2024, 2025 & 2026 finalist in (201) Magazine’s Best of Bergen Readers’ Poll and has been named a Top Dentist in New Jersey and Bergen County for over a decade.

For patients, that experience translates into dentistry that can be more comfortable, efficient, and minimally invasive. The practice emphasizes preserving healthy tooth structure whenever possible while bringing preventive, restorative, implant, periodontal, and aesthetic care together under one roof. Same-day crowns can eliminate a second visit, allowing many restorations to be completed in a single appointment. Solea laser dentistry allows many cavities to be treated with no drill, no needle, and no noise. For gum disease, LANAP laser treatment can remove infected tissue without traditional cutting and stitching, allowing healthy gum to reattach with a fraction of the downtime of conventional gum surgery. Minimally invasive implant surgery is planned with 3D technology and surgical guides for precision and confidence.

Aesthetic dentistry is another longstanding focus of the practice. Dr. Spector has partnered with one of the country’s leading aesthetic dental studios for 30 years, creating natural-looking smile transformations in as few as two visits. From preventive and family dentistry to implants, laser gum care, same-day crowns, and smile makeovers, every visit is built around one goal: exceptional care with greater comfort. Gentle Dentistry continues to blend generations of experience with modern technology to help patients achieve healthier, more confident smiles.
