Dr. Raymond Hubrich, is the BEST dentist I've had! I have, among other illnesses, severe, debilitating fibromyalgia. Not only is he extremely sympathetic, he is educated about fibromyalgia & how it & the medications that go with it affect teeth & gums. Most importantly to me, he knows about the chronic pain & fatigue that heighten any physical responses. Due to that & my anxiety, he gives me the perfect amount of nitrous/laughing gas (works very well for me) that I need to be completely relaxed & with no pain. In 6 different states I've been treated by over a dozen different dental professionals, so I have a lot of dental experiences, good & horrible, to compare him to. I've been in his chair 5 times so far, for simple fillings, extractions & the more complex dental implant work, & every single time I left very happy. My first experience with Dr. Raymond was when he corrected & continued work done by a dentist & periodontist at a chain dental company (I mistakenly thought that there would be quality control with a large company & that they would hire only the best dentists: wrong!). After a horrific experience, that started the first phase of dental implants, even with embarrassing gaps in my only 48-year-old smile, my fears kept me from having the courage to get any dental work. When I was ready to find a new dentist, I began with careful research. With each of the first three dentists, to just try them out, I had them do minimal work, such as fillings. They were all aware of my previous experience, were nice & did fine work. For my needs & the expense of implants, I was not settling for "nice" or "fine." At that point, I needed an oral surgeon & went to the highly recommended Dr. Holbrooke, for whom I will also be writing an excellent review. After his exemplary care & work, on his referral, I went to Dr. Raymond Hubrich. Since my 1st contact was with his office staff, I have to interject here how everyone I've dealt with has been nothing but caring, going above & beyond simply making appointments. Always making sure that any information I wanted or questions for the doctor were quickly responded to. His assistants are also wonderful and always make me feel cared for. On my first visit with Dr. Raymond, he attentively listened to me, answering each question, not rushing me at all, and giving me very helpful additional information. In fact, he allocates up to 3 hours for initial exams! And with all of my questions and problems, I took every minute, LOL. Dental implants are expensive. That's just a fact. I would never go back to a chain or anyone that offered "discounts" and "specials" on dental work. That only equals inferior materials & work. Also, unlike these places, his fees are not hidden with multiple quotes or confusing wording. These are my teeth that I will need for at least 40 more years (long lifespan in my family!). Chains, & too many dental practices, push things like whitening kits, etc. Not only does he not do that, even when he highly suggested using a Waterpik (which I'm now addicted to!), & told me he sells them in his office, he pointed out that I could buy the same one anywhere, but that I did need to get one. For convenience & the $15 rebate offered at the time, I happily bought it from him. Equally important to me, besides his wonderful chair side manner (he's very friendly and easy to talk to), his work is outstanding! He only accepts as perfect as possible materials. To ensure the best bite, he's taken impressions of one quadrant at a time, instead of all at once; his detailed explanation for this making complete sense. After he'd attached my first 3 crowns, that were manufactured at a special facility, to my implanted posts, they ended up being just a hair off, that I could barely notice when I bit down. Instead of trying to make them work, grinding them & so on, he wanted to take a new impression & order new crowns, both at no extra charge. Although disappointed at having to delay finally having more teeth, I agreed. 3 weeks later, when Dr. Hubrich had attached them, he handed me a mirror & I couldn't believe what I saw. They were identical to my original teeth! So, there is no difference in my pictures showing my smile now or 20 years ago. The only difference being that they feel like "Iron man" teeth. Incredibly strong, almost indestructible. I actually became excited about the process & look forward to every visit. If you are looking for a caring, quality dentist, you must try him! read more
