Litch M Joyce, DDS

I have had exceptional experiences with Dr. Litch! She is smart, funny, kind and always professional. She has done some pretty serious gum surgery on me and she and her staff which I always believed trickles down from the top meeting Dr. Litch were wonderful when it got complicated as is usually the case with me. I had to go back several times due to another underlying illness I have which was making it difficult for my gums to heal. I continue to have consults with her as I feel she is after all a dentist and can send me on to see my dentist if she sees a problem with my teeth. Meanwhile, she does a full evaluation of your gums which are after all what holds your teeth in place, Go see her you will love her and her staff!

It all started when an annoying growth appeared between 2 teeth. My general dentist lasered it away, but it reappeared within 2 weeks. The first periodontist surgically removed it and then gave me the shock of my life when he told me that I needed to either pull my tooth and get an implant due to resorption, or have a crown lengthening & bridge which he said could jeopardize the 2 healthy teeth on either side. Within 2 weeks the growth was back and I went to Dr Litch. She listened carefully, examined me and said, «Let me see if I can save that tooth», and with her knowledge and expertise she did because It’s been 4 weeks and no sign of the growth coming back. She genuinely cares for her patients best interests. She could’ve said the same thing and charged me thousands of dollars.
UPDATE: I has now been 5 ½ months and all is well!

I was referred for gum grafting surgery by my dentist. I put off calling for 2 years because of the horrible experience I had with the one I was referred to before. I wish I had been sent to her first! While everyone in the other office was rude and/​or incompetent, everyone at Dr. Litch’s office was great. She has the option of using donor tissue, which hurts a lot less than scraping it off your palate, and she has nitrous. Everything was about my comfort, extra pads on the chair, asking if it would help to put a towel on my eyes during surgery, and while the week post-​op was incredibly painful, I know it was because of the abundance of nerves in the area. She even gave me her cell number to call if I had problems! And, to top it all off, her fee was considerably less than the other place, making it far more reasonable. If you need any periodontic work, ask to be referred to Dr. Litch!

I was recommended to Dr. Litch (or Joyce, as she likes to be called) today for the first time and had a great experience. She is a gum specialist (or Periodontics) and I had a very bad infection and had horrible pain. She is extremely knowleadgeable and caring and now just a few hours after her procedure all the pain is gone and I feel brand new. I highly recommend her!
