Did you knwo that before development of dental implants, dentures were the only alternative to replacing a missing tooth or teeth? Dental implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge.

Joe and his staff are excellent. My wife and kids were patients of his before me and the first time I visited his practice was when I brought my youngest to his semi-annual checkup. Although I was already a patient of a different dentist (for 20 years), I asked him questions regarding some concerns I had about my own teeth. He offered to take a quick look and after 5 minutes, using state of the art equipment, he found 3 cavities! They were very early stage but my regular dentist missed them completely. I have been a patient of Dr. Joseph Dickens ever since.

I had not been to see a dentist in over 25 years until after I retired in 2018 and then found Dr. Joseph Dickens' practice in 2020 when setting up my senior citizen's panel of medical / dental providers. Dr. Dickens and his entire team make you feel so comfortable, almost like going to a friend's house for conversation and tea/coffee. He and his team are extremely well-organized, welcoming, warmly professional & take a personal interest not only in the best dental hygiene & maintenance to practice, but also in you & your background and general interests as a person. During a typical dental visit

I had to go in for an emergency after my tooth broke. After calling about 10 different dentists Dr. Dickens was the first to say he would take a new patient emergency during this pandemic. I have a serious fear of the dentist and haven't gone for a visit in years because of it. He made me feel so at ease about the whole thing. I highly recommend him for your dental needs!!

I am so happy I found Dr. Dickens .... and a dental office I am extremely comfortable with. I have been to several dentists over the last 10 years, never being satisfied with either the dentist or staff to stay very long. I heard great things about Dr. Dickens from coworkers and went to him for the first time last year. I've been back for cleanings and work a few times and I am excited to finally have a permanent dental home. Dr. Dickens is caring, never makes you feel rushed, and his staff is super sweet. I highly recommend his office.

This is my way of truly APPRECIATING Dr. Dickens on his effort of showing value to his patients and dental service. He makes sure everyone is not missed and is treated fairly. He is a man with a genuine heart. He takes time getting to know his patients and makes every dental appointment comfortable. I can't believe it has been 7 or 8 long years to be exact under his dental care. I completely trust him with all my dental health and I have GREAT respect on his expertise. He takes time explaining details on certain procedures and makes sure you understand everything. He is very personal and very positive

I have been going to Dr. Dickens for the last 7 years or so and moved with him from his Towson location to the Osler drive location. He is amazing. By far, the best dentist I have ever been to. My husband agrees and he has been seeing him for about 5 years. Dr. Dickens makes sure we are both comfortable and greets us both by name and remembers us each and every visit. I also love that he is with you through the whole appointment and is the one who actually cleans your teeth (as opposed to a hygienist). This is not to offend hygienists, I just think it is nice for a dentist to actually do the work
