Suburban Essex Dental: Three Generations of Trusted Dentistry in West Orange
When you choose Suburban Essex Dental, you choose one of the most experienced dental practices in New Jersey. Our West Orange office has been caring for families since 1943, when Dr. Bernard Feldman first opened his doors. More than eight decades later, we still operate with the same core promise: deliver exceptional dentistry with old-fashioned, personal service.
A Family Practice with Deep Roots
Dr. Paul R. Feldman joined his father’s practice in 1983, the year he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. Father and son worked side by side for 15 years before the elder Dr. Feldman retired in the late 1990s. Today, Dr. Paul Feldman carries on his father’s legacy of trust, integrity, and patient-first care — now serving second-, third-, and even fourth-generation patients from West Orange and surrounding Essex County communities.
Experience Meets Modern Technology
While our roots go back to 1943, our practice is anything but old-fashioned when it comes to clinical care. Suburban Essex Dental is a fully digital, experienced dentist West Orange NJ office. We use a Shining 3D Aoralscan intraoral scanner, exocad CAD design software, SprintRay Pro2 and Formlabs 3B 3D printers, Overjet AI for X-ray diagnostics, and CBCT-guided implant placement. Combining decades of clinical judgment with cutting-edge digital dentistry means faster appointments, more accurate restorations, and better outcomes for every patient.
