I had had a couple of fillings, and I was just eating something and I didn’t really notice a sharp pain. And so I thought, “Well, okay, something’s not right.” It was about two weeks later, a little sliver of the tooth came off and the dentist I was seeing at the time patched it. That held up for a long time. And then by the time I started coming to see Dr. Doering that temporary fix just came off and I talked to Dr. Doering about it. And he said, “What we really need to do is put a crown on this.” And I was real leery, I said, “Okay, you’re going to have to walk me through this.” It was a big enough of a piece that came off the tooth that he just explained the whole process, how they do it with the temporary, the permanent, I have the cost on it and everything.

And I felt really comfortable with the procedure. So we scheduled it and so that was it. It was just one of those freak things that happened. And yeah, and he just said, “This is the right thing to do.” And as a matter of fact, I kind of forget that I even have it until somebody asked me about it because it’s just there and it’s just part of my day-to-day living. For anybody that might need any work. If you just want plain and simple, what the best solution’s going to be, I would recommend Dr. Doering hands down.

Had orthodontics done with Dr. Doering twice actually, once as a kid, and then as an adult again. And that’s because I stopped wearing my retainer. It gave me the opportunity to have Invisalign as an adult. They made it really easy here, to come in and have the impressions made for my trays. And it was just a real simple thing to do as an adult. I don’t have to have brackets put on my teeth. I don’t have to come in and have them cranked, and rubber bands, and all of that stuff like when I was a kid. And it’s less involved, basically it’s coming in and being given another set of trays as my teeth moved, and as it progressed towards completion. Just coming in and having Dr. Doering look at my progress, let me know it’s time for a new tray, or we’ll do a new tray next month.

It was just really easy, and I would definitely recommend someone coming in and getting more information about it. Because I mean, I’ve really improved my confidence. I was used to having straight teeth, and then things were changing. So I was really grateful for a quick solution. I think it was less than a year that I had Invisalign.

A great chairside manner. He’s a gentleman. He is totally a man… You could tell he’s a man of character. He’s a man of faith. He’s a good businessman. You can tell he commands respect with his team, and he’s a leader. He definitely is able to work with his team, and his team knows exactly where he needs to be. Comfort level, very strategic, something that as we get older and the dental demands change over time, he was able to lay out a strategy that gave me comfort, and saying, “Look, this is something we’re going to have to do over time. It’s not going to be now. It’s going to be later. You have some challenges here, some risks here, but we don’t need to do it now. We’re going to set out a plan.” The strategy element was very important to me, because that’s kind of the business that I’m in. I feel very comfort and trustworthy on his ability to educate me on what’s going on, and laying out a milestone schedule on what needs to happen.

Dr. Doering is very kind. He’s very patient. He is a professional. He knows his job and that sits well with myself. And I’m sure every other patient, especially when you’re fearful of having a drill in your mouth. You just feel very comfortable. And especially his staff, everyone is so nice and calming that the dental work that you’re getting done, you just feel at ease and know that at the end of the day, you’re going to have the best care.

I do love coming here because I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with other dentists in my life, including my military time. I put off dental care for quite some years before my wife talked me into coming back and coming here. Once I came here, I found it to be very relaxed, and I was still nervous. I’m a nervous Nelly when it comes to this. They had a way of just relaxing you and just describing everything along, just all the way, telling me what’s going on, what’s going to happen. I work in the healthcare field myself. With my patients, I do the same. I want them to know everything that’s going on. This way, we can reduce that anxiety level, and that’s what they did for me here. The first time, I was still very nervous. The second time I came back, I fell asleep in the chair.
