Bryan Dodd, DDS

I went to the BEST dentist today, my second visit, but this time I had to get the works (fillings) 3 to be exact 1 more on Monday. The staff was awesome and Dr. Dodd was amazing!!! No pain!!! At all!!! They totally got me past my dentist phobia that I have gained as a child.

We had heard good things about Dr. Dodd, so gave him a shot for our semi-​annual checkup. We were hugely disappointed. The first thing that we did not like was the massive open-​concept cleaning stations. There was no privacy, no doors or anything; rather I felt like cattle being herded into a station. You could easily hear other conversations going on with other patients, and it really set me on edge.
The hygienist I had was pretty awful. She took x-​rays, and saw that one of my molars was composed of 70% composite filling. I’ve had this filling for around 10 years, and no dentist has ever commented on it. But as soon as she saw it, she started talking about how I’ll have to have a root canal, it doesn’t look good, and on and on. In addition, she kept talking about these special vitamins she’s on, and how I should take them, where to buy them — I kind of felt like she was trying to sell me some. It made me very uncomfortable. When the doctor came in, she told him her theory of why I needed a root canal. He immediately dismissed that, and said that if it wasn’t bothering me, then it was fine.
Overall, the doctor wasn’t too bad, but the hygienist was terrible, and the reason we will never return. We now see Dr. Roddy, a phenomenal dentist with an excellent staff. I can’t say enough positive things about him!

If you’re in need of a dentist, you won’t find better than Bryan Dodd in Beavercreek. Compassionate, caring, and always considers the best interest of the patient first. He explains everything thoroughly and listens to your concerns, answers questions, etc. My entire family sees him for all their dentistry needs and I’m thrilled to refer him any time someone asks. In addition, his staff is simply the best and takes their lead from him.

I moved to Michigan and went through three dentists before giving up and traveling 6 hours to make it back to Dodd. I heard he has some new people involved but Dodd is just an incredible and honest dentist. he does fantastic work and he only does it when he needs to.
honestly, I was unsure of how to take it when he was sighing over my cavity and telling me that I needed to brush better. Especially when he told me he was going to leave it because it was small, and showed me the dark spot where it was. I wish I still lived close. great dentist!

The Bryan Dodd practice was one of the best dentist office experiences that I have had thus far. The office is nice and inviting, very open and clean. I had to bring my youngest daughter with me and they were very accommodating by offering her a bean bag chair to sit in and a coloring book and crayons to draw with while I had my examination. My hygienist asked me a series of questions, went over homecare and my concerns (I came in for a regular checkup and x-​rays). She was very nice and patient because she had to explain multiple times to me how to go about caring for my highly sensitive teeth and the proper way to floss.
Did you know that tartar control toothpaste actually counteracts sensitivity reducing agents? So if your teeth are sensitive, do not used toothpaste with tartar control ingredients! Also, Sensodyne although it works well, is only a bandaid because when you do not use it, you notice sensitivity pretty much right away. Use fluoride mouthwash such as ACT as well to help with the sensitivity which will have a more permanent effect. These are the tips from my hygienist! She gave me a handy homecare handout with specific instructions that I still have in my bathroom.
The x-​rays were relatively painless/​less uncomfortable than normal and they have a panoramic x-​ray which is always interesting. There was a hygienist in training watching as well which was a good sign that this dentistry valued the up and coming talent of their field. My hygienist seemed to be a great teacher as well, giving her tips as she went along.
Dr. Dodd was nice and cordial. Since there was nothing wrong with my x-​ray, he did not have much to say about my teeth so our visit was not long. The hygienist had already explained much of the exam to me, such as the numbers she read out as she examined my teeth and why they needed to mark areas to watch in the future.
I was very happy with my dental experience at the Bryan Dodd practice and it is too bad that I have to move away after finding it! Another great note to make of this place is that they have a cancellation list so that if you want to get an earlier appointment, they can put you on the list and call you when a cancellation arises to see if you would like that appointment.
