Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Painless Dentistry
I was not happy with my current dentist, so I looked into recommendations for a new one. Wasn't familiar with laser dentistry, but I was intrigued. Had a tooth with a white filling that I felt needed a repair (my regular dentist told me I needed a crown), so I thought I would make an appt with Dr. Bucher. Tooth didn't need to be numbed and I had no pain. I was amazed. Repair was quick and painless. Highly recommend giving Dr. Bucher a try.

Top Dentist
I broke part of a tooth that had a very large, very old filling. Dr. Bucher suggested a crown to fix the problem and restore the tooth. In the process of drilling out the remaining filling and shaping the tooth to accept a crown, we discovered that my tooth had an extra nerve that “only 4% of the population has,” and which could not be sufficiently deadened with typical anesthetic. The workaround was to do an onlay instead of a full crown. The entire process, including making and fitting the onlay, took less than two hours, much of it waiting in a comfortable chair for his state-of-the-art equipment to carve the perfect fitting onlay from a solid block of porcelain based on the computer measurements and specs. Great technology, and a talented and empathetic Dentist to make it all work. Thank you, Dr. Bucher! I recommend him for all your dental needs, both routine and emergency.

I have been under Dr. Bucher’s care for over 25 years from routine checkups to more complex procedures. I find myself completely at ease, almost forgetting the reason for my visit. I highly recommend his services.

Although Dr. Bucher is pricier than our prior dentist, the office is extremely modern, he uses the latest in technology, his work has been much better than we received at the prior dentist and his staff is the best. I would recommend trying him whole heartedly as we believe, he operates with the utmost integrity.
