| - Doctor Then is the kind of dentist who I would (and have!) travel long distances to see. I've been going to him since childhood, and even after moving out of state and changing insurance, I would still pay out of pocket to have my teeth cleaned and checked by him. He's just that good.
He adopts a conservative approach to caring for your teeth, not undertaking a procedure unless it's truly absolutely necessary. For example, I recently went to another area dentist for a regular series of x-rays (because my insurance has changed and I'm no longer covered through Dr. Then), and was told I likely needed a root canal and a crown--a far more expensive procedure. After sufficiently freaking out, I went to Dr. Then for a second opinion, and he was able to fill the cavity rather than push me towards the more elaborate, pricey scenario. He will NOT try to up-sell you on work that you don't need done.
He and his support staff are also incredibly kind and personable. Whether you are getting a cleaning or a cavity filled, you can be assured that the work will be done in the gentlest way possible. He always says that he doesn't like pain either, so why would he pass it on to his patients.
His office is clean, simple, and welcoming. I've been to other dentists who have bells and whistles like TVs in each of the patient rooms, and elaborately decorated waiting rooms, yet the actual service they provide is far inferior to Dr. Then's.
I have been in the expert care of Dr. Then and his staff for many years, and I enthusiastically recommend him.
