Richard L Plasch, DDS

I have going to Dr. Plash for well over 40 years. He has a very friendly and professional staff. He is great with children and adults. I would highly recommended his practice if you are fearful of going to the dentist. If you are, ask about NuCalm drug free sedation.

First of all I would just like to say my overall experience here at this dentist office was amazing. The whole staff is super friendly and informative and made me feel comfortable when I usually dispize going to the dentist. Nancy at the front desk is amazing, and so is Lisa. Lisa actually conversates with you and gets to know you, making sure you’re completely comfortable the whole entire time there. She suggests different options for you if you feel like you’re unhappy with how your teeth look, but never pressures you to get any type of procedure done unless it’s what you really want. I only met Dr. Plasche for a short moment but he seemed super nice, which I’m sure he is since he has such a wonderful staff working with him! Definitely recommend coming here. Oh yeah. And my teeth feel squeaky clean! Hehe

Took my 2.5yr old Son for his first official cleaning today and he did well. His Dental Hygienist, Lisa Valencia, was awesome! Made him comfortable and kept his focus. He loved the animal themed cleaning tools, dental bib and glasses. The treasure chest at the end of the visit was the highlight as he got to choose a toy from it. Very accommodating to my work schedule as I was able to book a 7am appt, afterwards have the time to drop him off at his caregivers and get to work on time by 8:30am. Very happy with the service.

I’ve been going for many years and each time is a good experience. Super friendly staff, efficient, and very thorough.

I got my teeth cleaned today by Lisa and she is the best RDH ever! Always up to date on all of the latest dental trends! The whole staff — Nancy, Romina, and the assistants Mary and Theresa are so welcoming and wonderful! And of course, Dr. Plasch is the best dentist ever!

I have been going to Dr. Plasch for several years now and have never had a bad experience. The entire staff is very friendly and knowledgable. I would highly recommend this place to all those that haven’t seen a dentist for quite some time, and to all who are looking for a comfortable and personal atmosphere. You will not be disappointed!

I’ll first start off by admitting that prior to visiting Dr. Plasch, it had been way too long since I had been to a dentist. Way. Too. Long. After several horrible experiences with past dentists, I couldn’t bring myself to get into an dental office.
Fast forward more years than I’d like to admit, my husband had cracked a tooth late one evening that needed to be taken care of ASAP (he was in a lot of pain). I found Dr. Plasch’s office through 1800 Dentist and was able to get him an appointment first thing in the morning the very next day. They took great care of him, extracted the tooth, and set him up with a follow up appointment for the following week in which I was asked to attend so that I may get checked up since it had been so long since I had seen a dentist.
During my initial visit, I informed the dental assistant that I have major anxiety due to my past experiences. To my great surprise she was so caring and sypathetic with my past experiences and assured me that I was in good hands. She was right! Since my initial visit, I’ve had 3 procedures done (including wisdom teeth extractions) to reverse the past years of neglect and get my teeth healthy. The entire staff has been nothing by super sweet, attentive to my needs, and made sure that I was comfortable and relaxed at all times! I could not be happier with Dr. Plasch’s office. They are all wonderful! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this office for anyone who gets anxious from dentist visits. They are just delightful!

I would only recommend this dentist for routine care, such as examinations and cleaning, only. I have had many fillings and crowns over the years, and although I only went to Dr. Plasch for 2 years, I had several bad experiences with him.
I’ve had 2 crowns and 1 filling that had to be redone within 2 – 4 years; in all my years of dental work I’ve never had to have fillings or crowns redone in such a short time. The last visit with this dentist was such a bad experience and left me in such pain I changed dentists. My current dentist said that the work done by Dr. Plasch was substandard; the last filling I had done was not finished off, leaving it rough, and a piece was left which dug into my gum, causing me pain for several months. Two crowns that have been redone by my current dentist were also deemed to be substandard: they were not sealed properly and cavities were found underneath.
Besides the substandard work, I was also in pain toward the end of the crown and filling procedures. The Novacaine wore off and he worked in a manner that was only focused on the job he was doing, without any pause to check on me. My arms were under a tray and if I moved to signal that I was having pain I would have upset the tray or cause him to move, which could have had bad consequences.
Although I had crowns and fillings that needed to be replaced after only two years, I had to pay for the replacements, which usually were not covered by insurance (crowns are normally only paid for by insurance after 5 years). After talking to other people about their experiences, they often said their dentists would not charge them for having work redone in such a short period. I’m sure this is up to each facility, but I would think a dentist might feel a bit embarrassed, to say the least, about having work done over so soon.

I’ve been a patient for quite a few years now. It will be 4 years in August. My sister is a RDA and I’ve always been lucky enough to get a family discount at the office she works at. (I don’t have dental insurance) But when she found a new job that wasn’t at a dental office, I had to find a new dentist to go to.
So, I called 1800-​Dentist and they referred me to Dr. Plasch. Although a bit hesistant to go with a totally new dentist without my sister working there, I felt comfortable with Dr. Plasch and his staff quite quickly.
I take pretty good care of my teeth, so I’ve never really had any major work done by this office except for usual cleaning and exam. Lisa does a great job on my teeth and is quite funny to talk to. Nancy is the very friendly receptionist.
I’m really glad that 1800-​Dentist referred me to Dr. Plasch. I don’t see myself changing dentists anytime soon or for any reason!
