Patient Reviews

Trusted by the Community

Miracle workers, all of them! Not only are they kind, patient, and share invaluable knowledge with a smile and great insight, but they are also deeply human, invested, and highly competent.

Best office ever! The dentists and staff are so kind and do great work. The only office I will ever go to!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this office. Dr. Spelman is honestly the best dentist I have ever met — he cured me of my lifelong fear of the dentist! I had three fillings done and he made it painless and even enjoyable. It is like walking into your home with your family greeting you after a long day. 10000/10!

Melissa B.

After another office told me I needed 8 to 10 crowns at a cost of $15,000, I got a second opinion here. Dr. Spelman examined me and said no crowns were needed — fillings would work just fine. He painlessly replaced them all, and eight months later they are still working perfectly. Excellent staff and great dentistry!

Dr. Chris is a Godsend! From the moment I was warmly welcomed by Jamie at the front desk, I felt at home. He spent time getting to know me and my concerns, explained everything gently, and was so gentle while working on my teeth. If you are looking for a practice that is accommodating, caring, and does amazing work, I cannot recommend them enough!

This practice is hands down above five stars! Dr. Spelman is the best dentist I have ever been to. He treats you like family and spends time getting to know you — you are not just another patient. He goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and give you the best possible pain-free experience!

Lilly Z.

Dr. John Orlando and Dr. Chris Spelman are simply the BEST! Both strive to give their patients the best, and I totally trust them. They are honest and family-oriented, and the entire staff makes you feel like family. I am truly blessed to have such a great dental team!

Neil T.

Dr. Spelman was my dentist during grad school, and I needed a ton of work done. He is very kind with a great bedside manner, and arranged his schedule so we could get a lot done around my classes. Both dentists I have had since have commented on how exceptionally well his work was done. Most importantly, he inspired me to take better care of my teeth!

Bethany P.

Dr. Spelman, as always, was thorough and caring. As a child I saw a dentist who did not believe in novocaine, so I still had nervous reactions as an adult — his kind, understanding manner means I no longer do. Over the last 10 years he has fit me in quickly for every emergency, from a broken tooth to a cracked one. Love him!

Michelle S.

Orlando Family Dentistry offers the utmost professional and caring experience the moment you walk through their doors. Dr. Orlando and Dr. Spelman are two of the most caring and gentle dentists you will meet. My family has been part of the practice almost as long as they have been in business — I can thank them for the beautiful smile I have today!
CP

Caroline P.

Dr. Spelman is the best dentist ever! I have never met a dentist so patient and gentle. He has helped my whole family and treats us like family. And most important — he never lets pride or ego get in the way; he knows his limits and recommends the right specialist when someone would be a better fit.

Heather S.

I had an excellent first visit with Dr. Spelman and his team. The office has the feel of a small, family-operated environment where everyone was friendly and in the know about each patient. My hygienist was very cheerful and explained each step before it started. Highly recommend!

Mark K.

This practice is enough to make you like going to the dentist — even if it has been a few years or you are a little afraid. Every single person is kind, welcoming, and calming.

Why Stony Brook Dental

Care That Puts You First

Integrative, Whole-Body Care

We pair trusted dentistry with a holistic, low-toxin philosophy — including fluoride-free options — so your care supports your overall health, not just your teeth.

50 Years at the Same Address

Dr. Orlando opened this practice in 1975 and has been at 314 Route 31 ever since. When Dr. Spelman joined in 2001, it became a two-doctor team rooted in the same community for decades.

Evening Hours Available

We are open until 8 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, so you can schedule after work or school without taking time off.

Two Doctors, Full-Service Care

Both Dr. Spelman and Dr. Orlando are trained in implant placement and restoration. Between them, they cover general, cosmetic, restorative, and implant care under one roof.

We Treat You Like Family

Our patients say it best. Every Google review mentions the personal care and genuine kindness they experience here. You are not a number at this practice.

Nitrous Oxide for Comfort

Nervous about dental work? Nitrous oxide sedation helps you relax during your procedure. It wears off quickly and you can drive yourself home.
