It is my pleasure to recommend Dr. Gazdeck and his team. The very definition of "superb" -- knowledgeable, caring, attentive, skilled, meticulous -- I could go on and on.  They made a stressful situation bearable for me over many months of treatment. I'm grateful to them for all they did. read more

Dr. Cunningham is just salt of the earth, extremely warm hearted and an excellent prosthodontist. He worked with me on making a very difficult decision about my teeth. Pricing was very reasonable and even included a payment plan. Best money I ever spent, saved my lifestyle, and kept me upbeat and positive. Its been 2 years and they look great. Thanks Dr. C. ; ) read more

There is not enough good things I can say about these guys. Such professional and caring people. They are very knowledgeable and can answer all your questions. Dr. Hoke is now retired and Dr. Gazdeck has taken his place. I meet the doc for the first time today. Needless to say I was extremely impressed. He was smart, empathetic and completely focused on making my office visit a pleasant experience. I left the office feeling relieved that I did not need a bone graft. Thank you Dr. Gazdeck for making my day. read more

(This review was previously posted on Angie's List) I needed a good prosthodontist to create a denture for my lower jaw. Dr. Cunningham was recommended by my oral surgeon and the results are FANTASTIC! I could not be happier with EVERY step of this process. I am a bruxer. There, I've said it. I grind my teeth at night, hard. Because of this activity, I have lost all my lower teeth, and have been wearing dentures for many years. I HATE denture paste, denture glue, denture powder - whatever you want to call it. So, I had 4 mini-implants (one piece metal rods) inserted into my lower jaw so that my denture would not need that stuff and the implants would support my denture. That worked fine for a while, but going into my fourth year, my implants were loose - I ground all four implants out of my jaw as well as doing damage to the back side of my five remaining upper teeth. I needed a new plan. I went back to the peridontist who put in my first set and he referred me to someone with more experience dealing with jaw nerves (I have one exactly where they want to have an implant.) It is important to understand, at this point, that my oral surgeon and my prosthodontist worked hand in hand regarding the location of the implants, how the implants would be supported so that I wouldn't repeat my damage a second time, and also solve the gooey, gluey issue and stop the jaw bone regression that already occurring. The decision: a permanent, reinforced denture for my lower jaw. The implants they chose were conventional, two piece implants. The base is surgically inserted below the gum line and caped. The gum tissue is allowed to grow over the top of the implant, giving time for the bone and the implant to fuse together for maximum strength. Then the base is uncovered and the top piece is screwed in, with whatever attachment the prosthodontist decides is the best adaptation for the denture; in my case, screws. Before anything could take place, the crucial issue of where to place the problem implant without hitting that darn nerve. It was absolutely imperative to have both doctors involved in making that decision. But, it was Dr. Cunningham who built the template for Dr. Jelic to use for implant placement, that made all the difference in this entire process. In the end, it was Dr. Cunningham who drove this entire proceedure from beginning to end. Like I said, first the consensus on where to put the implants, and what kind of implants. Also, the doctors decided that to help give support to the implants, there would be a band of flat wire inside the denture that would "cradle" the implants, just in front of and just behind the implants, to stop the horizontal movement that is part of the grinding motion. The denture would then be screwed into the top of the implants so that nothing would move. I will talk about the surgery later when I review the surgeon, separately. Next steps were to create a new "temporary" denture. This is what I wore (and, yes, glued) to my lower jaw while the implants healed and the bone grew around them, making that metal part of me. Once the implants were exposed, and the tops were added (the metal that extends above the gum line), the temporary denture was altered to screw into those implants. Implants were permanent but the denture was temporary because they were missing the metal ribbon which is the ingenious part of this system. The permanent denture would not be made until everyone was sure that those posts weren't going anywhere. My gums are really cooperative when it comes to healing, and soon enough it was time to sit for the new denture (casting), which was then sent to the lab, where the metal banding would be added to the denture. As you can see, there was a great deal of thought as well and time and effort to make sure that everything proceeded exactly as planned. Every step of the way, I was being checked on for anything that might be out of the ordinary, making sure that I was not in any discomfort and ready to coach me should I not understand what my part was in the bigger picture. Both my husband and I spent a great deal of time, prior to anything happening, to make absolutely sure we understood all that was to come, even before we agreed that I should even have this proceedure. Good doctors will not mind answering questions and most of the time, they will tell you that people don't ask enough. I had GREAT doctors! This process started with my first appointments with surgeon and prosthodontist on June 16, 2014 and my last appointment with my surgeon, after all the prosthodontic work was done took place on May 11, 2015. That is why this review is so long. You want to make sure that everyone has your best interest at heart and are willing to go the extra mile to make sure that everything goes smoothly, and you are thoroughly cared for when there are problems. I cannot tell you how thrilled I was with everyone involved on both of these teams. read more

Dr. Hoke and Dr. Cunningham are excellent dentists. Recently I saw Dr. Cunningham after over a decade of seeing Dr. Hoke. For me transitioning dentists was a very difficult task, very anxiety producing. Dr. Cunningham was calm, explained what he was doing, he took time to pay attention to fine detail. I highly recommend this practice. If you are nervous at all at the dentist this is a great place to get dental care. read more

Dr. Cunningham has been so kind, gentle and understanding as his role is making and maintaining my denture as I wait for the implants. His staff is awesome and always so accommodating on getting me in quickly when I need an adjustment. This office environment is warm and friendly. Dr. Cunningham is outstanding in his field.

If you or your family member are ever in need of an outstanding dentist, Dr. Cunningham is the one! When my mom was experiencing some problems with her implants and teeth, I knew to call Dr. Cunningham's office. His office staff promptly returned my call and gave her an appointment. When he saw her, he did a thorough check up, found the problem, and fixed it. She is more than ecstatic with the outcome. If you are looking for a competent, compassionate, and kind dentist, look no further! As a fellow specialist, I can attest to Dr. Cunningham's many skills. He offers veneers, crowns, implants, TMJ disorder treatment, and more. Give him a call today! read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Hoke, Dr.Cunningham and the entire staff at Durham Prosthodontics. They have been by my side since I was diagnosed with oral cancer in 2012 and had surgery at Duke University Medical Center. My case presented major problems in regards to a prosthesis and Dr. Cunningham has worked tirelessly to create a solution that would allow me to look and speak normally and to also have the ability to eat almost anything comfortably. I now have my new prosthesis and I'm very pleased. Great, caring people-- all of them. Very seldom would I give a 5 Star Rating to anyone, but they've earned it. David Mitchell read more

I have been a patient of Dr Hoke and Cunningham for several years. I have had multiple procedures and cleanings there. I LOVE Dr. Cunningham, Dr. Hoke and the rest of the staff, because they cater to cowards (me!) and do a great job. The job they did on my implants, bridges and night guards have been A+. They are gentle, friendly and accommodating. I never have a long wait time and the office is clean and relaxing (many birds, flowers and plant s around the windows for you to enjoy). The front office staff is the best too! They all make me feel appreciated and cared for. If you'd like a clean, relaxing and accommodating experience for dental work, you must give them a call. Great dentists with many accomplishments and years of experience. read more
