I started seeing Dr. Luedde some years ago after a local therapist invited him to address a group on dental phobia. I am so glad I found him. His chair-side manner is exceptional, and the office is attractive and spotless and doesn't feel "clinical." The staff members are efficient and friendly. So far I have just had routine procedures done, but I need a crown soon and he's the only one I would trust to do it. He explains procedures carefully, in as much detail as you want but he doesn't scare you. He uses the latest equipment--dental tools, imaging equipment, etc. Drilling has been completely painless. I started out needing deep cleanings, but we did them in sections and I had local anestethic when I needed it. I'm a veteran of much childhood dentistry without novacaine, so I know what I'm talking about. I've recommended Dr. Luedde to several friends and they all rave about him.
