David W Foon,DDS

My husband and I have been happy patients of Dr. Foon’s for years, and now our two young girls have survived and even enjoyed their first exams and cleanings. He and his assistant, Maria, run a small and friendly office, and are very personable and good with kids. I have sensitive teeth due to loss of enamel, as well as some staining near the gums, which in the past has makes dentist visits often agony. But Dr. Foon uses technology that is very effective as well as gentle, and his skills and knowledge also very strong, so I know longer dread the dentist. He is also happy to explain issues with dental care to make sure you really understand what’s going on. And he doesn’t over X-​Ray like some dentists do (I guess they get insurance money for doing that sometimes.) A great neighborhood dentist!

Dr. Foon has been our family dentist of choice for many years. we’ve always found him to be courteous and very professional. In addition, he has wonderful stories of life experiences and travel that he is always happy to share.

Professional, practical and courteous. I have been to many dentists but Dr Foon is #1.

I’ve been going to Dr Foon for 30 years and my wife has been doing it for 20. He’s an excellent Dentist and you can only say that after living with someone’s work for a long time. He’s also very easy to get an appointment with, a pleasure to deal with, funny and very meticulous. He’s also not obsessed with trying to make as much money as possible believing more in providing a service for the community. That means it easy to get an appointment and his rates are reasonable. I started seeing him after he was recommended by a number of friends. who were also long time patients.

Okay, here’s the deal… I’m one of those people who never goes to the dentist. Wait, before you laugh or make a grossed out face, I don’t have halitosis and I don’t have gingivitis. I brush and floss regularly, I don’t smoke, and I don’t drink tea or coffee. Most importantly, I’ve been blessed with the gene that allows me to eat an insane amount of sugar and not get any cavities… UNTIL NOW.
So the other week I made an appointment and had my suspicions confirmed that yes, I did in fact finally get a cavity. Dr. Foon was very straightforward about it. I’ve been coming to him since I was a kid, along with the rest of my family. He didn’t give me a hard time for not coming in every 6 months like normal people do. (Although he did give me the raised eyebrow look when he told me when my last visit was.) He was very informative, answered all my questions, and even showed me pictures and pamphlets explaining everything he was telling me. He even has the cool micro surgical video camera so he can film stuff in your mouth and have it displayed on the monitor in front of you.
When I had my cavity filled on Wednesday, I was pretty nervous. I hate having people’s hands in my mouth, I hate having weird noises from unseen tools coming out of my mouth, and most of all I hate sharp pain. But when he administered the novacaine or whatever it was, he used a cotton swab and not a needle (like I was dreading). After that, it was all good.
Overall, the whole experience was pretty painless. My mouth was numb for half a day and water shot out of my mouth uncontrollably when they told me to rinse (which I thought was hilarious). When it was done, I didn’t get any lectures. I wasn’t told I had to come in every 6 months, or worse, every 3 months like I’ve heard some other dentists try to tell you. They didn’t try to sell me anything or tell me I grind my teeth at night. (Doesn’t everybody?) And the whole procedure was done in 40 minutes, just like he said it would be. If you’re looking for a dentist, I’d look into Dr. Foon.
Btw, there is plenty of street parking (non-​metered) around the corner or across the street.
