Ted Loiben D.D.S., Pediatric Dentist, Ltd.

Seriously, this practice is a blessing. I originally went to this dentist based on all the good reviews Dr. Loiben and his team had and I have not been disappointed yet. Both of my kids, ages 4 and 2, had their first dental cleaning and exams with Dr. Loiben and his staff and neither of them had even the slightest hint of anxiety in the chair. Everyone was so good to explain everything they were going to do before they started sticking tools in their mouths so that the kids weren’t scared and it worked 100%. Dr. Loiben was patient to take the time to answer all of my questions and I haven’t had any trouble getting an appointment within a reasonable timeframe. I’d drive 100 miles to bring my kids here since both of them had such positive experiences with the dentist… which can be a pretty scary thing for a little kid.

My daughter just turned 2. So I was scared to see how she would act at her first dental check up. This office made her first dentist experience so much fun for her. She keeps saying she wants to go back there all the time now!!! The group of people working there is amazing. Thank you guys

We first went to Dr. Ted who was referred by our pediatrician’s office due to an accident where my then 3 year old lacerated his gum line. They fit him in immediately on an emergency basis even though he was not a current patient, in fact, this was my son’s first dental visit ever! He was frightened and hurt but the entire office staff and Dr. Ted welcomed him so warmly that he sat through the entire appointment! They engaged with him and helped him relax and now years later he still looks forward to his «visits»! Love the hygienists as well who keep him well entertained, not that they need to with the many television screens showing various kids movies! For his visit today they were showing «Inside Out». Please keep up the amazing job!

Have been having amazing experiences here for almost 17 years now… Im now 22 and am taking my own daughter here! The other day was my daughters first ever appointment with Dr. Ted, of course i didnt anticipate anything but the best! It went better than i expected my daughter is at a sensative age and she did great there! Love Dr Ted & the staff always for taking such good care of us for so many years !!

Avoid this practice!!! While it appears wonderful based on the video games, waiting rooms, etc., you should know that this dentist MISSES cavities and is totally inflexible with emergencies. My kids had gone to this practice since they were young. We were thrilled to always hear: «No cavities!» Then, my son had an accident at school where he chipped off a good chunk of his front tooth; another tooth needed to be extracted because of the damage. Dr. Loiben didn’t consider this an emergency, and I was told that we would need to wait a week and half to have the front tooth bonded. My 11 year old son was devastated. He didn’t want to go to school for a week and half with a jagged front tooth, more than half of which was missing. The jagged portion of the broken tooth was cutting his lip if the lip accidentally touched the tooth. I was told by the front desk, «Bonding a front tooth is a 45 minute appointment, and there are no openings for a week and half.» Really? Dr. Loiben couldn’t stay 45 minutes longer one day to take care of a patient whose family has been coming there for 15 years? Because of this, we left Dr. Loiben’s practice, and I started taking my 3 kids to my dentist. Guess what? They ALL had mouths full of cavities!!! I have pictures of the decay in each of their teeth. I can’t believe that Dr. Loiben missed all of this! I had always thought that his equipment was antiquated, as he still uses actual xray slides instead of digital xrays. So, this summer was spent at the new dentist, where we went well over our insurance coverage and had to pay out of pocket for 3 – 6 cavities per child. One of my daughter’s cavities was in a molar that was really deep. The new dentist said that we really need to watch that tooth. Now, she is having problems with that tooth and may need a root canal. AVOID DR. LOIBEN’S PRACTICE!

I had been putting off my toddler’s first dental appointment for fear of how the appointment would go. Knowing I couldn’t wait any longer, I booked an appointment with Dr. Ted based on a few recommendations from my neighbors.
Upon walking in the office, my son ran to the fully stocked toy room (a completely separate waiting area) and played until his appointment. A friendly hygienist came and took us back to the exam room. The staff knows how to work with apprehensive children and my son was quickly at ease with their gentle nature and the tv in the ceiling. The cleaning went great and Dr. Ted made sure he answered all my questions. We’ll be back in six months for the next cleaning!

Just recently my 6 year old wiggly boy had his check up in this office for the first time. I was very impressed with how lovely and courteous staff was. I also greatly appreciated that my son was seen right on time. Judy was very patient with my boy and dr. Ted made him feel at ease.

A wonderful, friendly staff who were incredibly patient with my 2 & 3 year olds. They had lots of tricks to make sure my boys got a great cleaning.

I can not say enough about Dr. Ted Poiben, and his staff. My 7 year old, who was traumatized a year ago now begs to go see Dr. Ted. From the moment we walked in she was crying, until she was greeted by a staff member. She had a tooth extracted and when I went to see her, she was waving at me, smiling and I was thinking, who’s kid is this :) He walked me thru the procedure, and her followup vists for a space maintainer, equally as pleasant for us all. Thank you Dr. Ted and your staff for putting my daughters fears to excitement now for future follow-​ups!
