My husband and I have been going to Dorr Family Dentistry for a few years. All the staff is always very respectful, kind, and on time. I have a very hard schedule to accommodate and they always work with me in figuring out how to get my teeth fixed and cleanings done. The office is always updating their equipment to the latest on the market which I personally appreciate. I have nothing but positive experiences with this office. Thank you so much Dorr Family Dentistry!
We moved our family to Dorr family Dentistry a few years ago and have had great experiences. They are gentle with my children and patient with me who has some dental anxiety. They have been wonderful with working out treatment options and payment plans. We are very happy with the care we’ve been provided.
My experiences with this office go back a while. Both my children went to this office growing up. My daughter does still as an adult. I truly appreciate the professionalism and dedication the team as a whole brings to my visits. There is great communication about reminders for appointments and commitment in finding a time convenient for my working schedule. I appreciate the genuine smiles, care and feeling of belonging there. The staff have been diligent in getting claims paid by insurance. Much appreciated. Enjoy the positive energy the team brings to office when visiting. Thank you
Everyone at the office is always so helpful and friendly. I know I am always well taken care of but my kids are also. It has always been a positive experience.
I have always had the absolute best experience. All of the staff are friendly and kind. They truly care about me as a person, always asking about my family and how things are going in my life. Today my daughter who is 2.5 yrs old had such a wonderful time getting to see what the dentist is all about. Everyone was so kind to her and made her feel very comfortable. I would recommend anyone to come here for the absolute best care.
I’ve been coming here my whole life and it’s always been amazing!! The new doctor is super nice and so is all of the staff!!
This office is amazing! My hygienist Jennifer, was great with me and very understanding about my anxiety about being there. She was helpful, friendly and explained things to me in a way no one ever has before. I was completely comfortable and would highly recommend this practice to anyone, especially if you have anxiety or haven’t been to the dentist in a while! The Doctor was great also, although my time with him was much shorter. He was knowledgeable and friendly.
Starting going to Dorr Family Dentistry in Dec. 2019 (sadly after years of not seeing a dentist). Not once did we feel looked down on for it being so long since seeing a dentist. They made both my husband and I feel very welcome and comfortable. They have worked with us to get our dental care back on track.. The office staff is always friendly and super helpful. And I LOVE my hygienist, she is absolutely wonderful!
First time going in there and the whole staff was so welcoming. My Mom is very afraid of the Dentist they made her feel safe. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional caring team.
We as a family have enjoyed being patients at Dorr Family Dentistry for many years. The staff has always been very friendly, patient and gentle. They have taken good care of us and I would recommend them to everyone!
A teeth contouring procedure gently and safely evens out your rough tooth edges. Dr. Dudzik will use special dental instruments to remove a small amount of tooth enamel from teeth that are jagged, chipped, or uneven so that your smile appears more uniform and aesthetically pleasing. Teeth contouring is quick and usually takes just a single appointment to complete.
Sometimes crown lengthening, which involves modifying gum tissue to expose more of the white part of your teeth, is strictly for aesthetics. However, it can also make it easier to receive a restoration like a crown or a veneer. In addition, it may be necessary if you have dental decay below your gums. Dr. Dudzik will adjust your gum tissue to get to the decay.
Crown lengthening, a procedure that involves removing gum tissue to expose more of your tooth surface, is permanent since gum tissue won’t grow back on its own. If you wanted to reverse the procedure, you would need to have a gum graft. Crown lengthening is performed to lengthen the appearance of stubby teeth or to make it easier to receive veneers or crowns.
