I always kinda wanted to be a dentist. My grandfather was a dentist, and that originally gave me the idea. And then, you know, it just always seemed like a cool job. And honestly, I don’t even really know. I just really felt like I never really wanted to do anything else that much. You know, I liked working with my hands and then working with people. And now, it’s been a good profession. I really enjoy it.
So, yeah, for whatever reason, I don’t know. That’s just who I am, you know. You know, the most rewarding part of being a dentist in cases is when you really do transformative dentistry for somebody, meaning, you know, someone who has either a large functional deficit tooth-wise where they don’t have teeth, they have a lot of tooth problems, or they are really unsatisfied with the way their teeth look.
And doing those types of cases is probably the most rewarding part we’ve had. We’ve transformed the patient’s looks and life by giving them nice teeth when they didn’t ever have that, you know. And then they feel great about it when we’re all done. And they have, if they’re happy, ultimately improved their life. That’s the rewarding part.
The most rewarding part of the job is to do that type of dentistry in addition to just, you know, the normal day-to-day stuff, of course, when, you know, you’re just kinda keeping people’s teeth healthy and hopefully having them keep their healthy teeth if they have healthy teeth. That’s always rewarding. But, no, probably, the most rewarding is to do the transformative type of dental work that we, you know…it really changes people’s lives.

My husband went in for a consult and now is on a path to getting a smile that will change his life. He has gone to countless dentists and they just have offered band-aids or just a fix for one issue. Dr. Studerus has given him options that will not only improve his smile, but his bite as well. His plan will be a long lasting fix. Caring about your patients long-term care is what he is about. All of the employees there are so great. We feel very lucky to have found a doctor who is down to earth and great at what he does.
I had the most incredible dental experience of my life. Dr. Stuedrus and his staff are the kindest, most gentle and sincere people I have ever had the pleasure to deal with me and my issues. Dr. is a customer where I work. All I said to him was “I need you” and BOOM! A week later it was done. I had an ongoing infection in my mouth for about a year now. I saw him for the first time yesterday and today I have 4 terrible teeth gone from my head. I felt absolutely zero pain during the extractions AND I have no pain today. It’s remarkable. I went from swollen about a week ago, to this morning not even 24 hours after seeing Dr. Studerus. No pain No swelling. My mind is clearer than it has been in about a year. I am very grateful to the entire staff at Dr Studerus Dental. Thank you, thank you, thank you
I’m one of those people who gets the jitters just thinking about going to the dentist. If this sounds familiar, then this is the dentist for you.
We have been going here for about 5 yrs now. I love the demeanor of Dr Studerus and the entire staff! They are professional, personable and down-to-earth. They are considerate of each other as well as their patients.
I feel like they are genuinely concerned for my personal well-being and make every effort to see to my needs. The quality of dental care has been awesome.
I do not hesitate to give this practice an enthusiastic 5 stars because they’ve truly earned it!!:))
They were amazing! U had to get 2 wisdom teeth pulled. As well as a new crown put in And a deep clean! I was under throughout the whole process. But it was very organized and I felt informed and comfortable. Thank you!
I am a horrible dental patient. I come here because Dr Studerus and ALL of the staff are extremely professional, skilled, kind and make me feel less anxious about the whole thing. I just had an extraction of a very stubborn tooth & I did not have any sedation. The Dr and his assistant were amazing with me, I can’t say enough good things!
I have a severely handicapped sister whom we brought to Dr Studerus’s office for a consultation/first time appointment today. My sister is extremely stubborn and not helpful in anyway when it comes to having dental work done (just brushing her teeth is a hard struggle). Dr Studerus is phenomenal! He is very understanding, easy to communicate with and his staff are top-notch! Dr Studerus was able to very quickly come up with a treatment plan that made sense and included him seeing my sister on a day he was suppose to be off work. I have never had such an overwhelming sense of ease and understanding when it comes to anything medical and a doctor trying to explain “the plan”. I absolutely recommend Dr Studerus for anyone, I plan on switching dentists also!
Dr. Studerus is a consummate professional, his staff is friendly, courteous, and we are always taken care of in an expeditious manner. I have had bad experiences with dentist from early on in childhood, and have had some issues with “dental fears” in my lifetime. I can say that Dr. Studerus puts these at ease and there’s a reason that we continue to return year after year.
Dr. Scott Studerus has been my dentist for several years and I trust him. He and his team are amazing, they do an incredible job. They are friendly thorough and caring. Every visit!
Dr Studerus and his team, especially Jackie listened carefully to my questions and concerns. They provided several options for my extensive dental needs. They are professional, caring and concerned about my welfare. I highly recommend them for your dental needs.
I was amazed at the State of the Art Equipment & up to the minute methods of dentistry here. Dr. Scott & his Staff are fun, gentle & very thorough. I love my new smile!!!
