Serving Newark

A family dentist minutes from Newark, DE

From Newark, our Bear office on Quintilio Drive is about fifteen minutes east via Route 4 or Route 40. Saturday hours, same-day emergencies and Invisalign at one flat price.

Newark has plenty of dentists along Main Street and Route 273, which is exactly why so many Newark families end up at Family Dental Center in Bear instead: a short drive, Saturday hours and straight answers about cost before anything begins.

Our Bear office sits just off Route 40, roughly fifteen minutes from the University of Delaware campus and the neighborhoods around Christiana and Brookside. Students, faculty and families all use it as their regular dental home, and the written estimate you receive before treatment means no surprises on a tight budget.

Getting here from Newark

From Newark, take Route 4 (Chestnut Hill Road) or Route 72 east to Route 40 (Pulaski Highway), then turn onto Quintilio Drive near the Fox Run shopping center. Most trips are twelve to fifteen minutes outside of rush hour, with free parking at the door.

“I needed a repair on my dentures and I dropped them off. Not only did they do the repair, but they tightened up the entire frame. They fit like brand new. They went above and beyond my expectations to solve my problem. One of the best dentists I’ve ever had.”
