Who knows what evil lurks on my teeth? Dr. Thurber knows. Dr. Thurber oversees a great team: everyone in the office was courteous, friendly, and very professional.
The technician who worked on my teeth was probably one of the best I have ever had. She observed that my blood pressure was high, and I told her that it was because I was nervous. But I did not tell her was that I was nervous that she would discover how bad I am at flossing. Like Sherlock Holmes, her first question upon looking in my mouth was, "Do you floss regularly?"
I immediately broke down and confessed.
"Yes, for the past week

They run a great operation, everyone there is very nice and they are very efficient. They did not try to push a bunch of unnecessary treatments like some other dentists do. I am very pleased with the office as a whole and I would sure recommend them!

In January I needed major work done. I have a large upper fixed bridge. One of the anchor teeth had a cavity. I was told that I needed the cavity treated, all anchor teeth reinforced and an entirely new bridge. I was quoted over $7,000 for the work. I got 3 quotes from other dentists for the work - $8,286; $7, 140; and $7,800. Dr. Thurber's office quoted me $5,800 for the teeth and codes provided. Already a bargain.
I have extreme dental phobia. Dr. Thurber was patient, kind, empathetic, and understanding. He examined me and identified another small lower cavity. Dr. Thurber said he could treat

They have the best customer service I’ve ever seen within a dentist office!!! So informative, and you can tell they actually care - for you, your pocket, and your teeth!!! I needed a tooth extracted and first of all, IT WAS LITERALLY PAINLESS - even after!!! Secondly, they made me feel SO very comfortable. Which is a huge plus for me.

Dentist James L. Thurber must be your dentist!! Here's my experience.
I was looking for a new dentist and my Insurance Company gave me Dr. Thurber's name so I googled him. Everything I read about he and his staff was very explainable and thorough. I called the office to schedule as a New Patient and was greeted by a very professional and friendly lady. She was warm and friendly, and asked me to fill out the Patient Information online explaining, that way it would be quicker at check-in. This is very helpful to them and me so you don't have to sit in the office filling out paperwork
