Drake Dental
Michael Drake, DMD:
Practice Profile Page

Dr. Drake is honest, ethical, and competent.  I’ve seen many different dentists over the years, and Dr. Drake has been the best so far.  He takes the time to show you what he’s observing on your X-rays and explains why you need a procedure.  His exam of my oral cavity was more thorough than what the average dentist does.  At the end of my visit, the secretary made sure to explain the expected costs of my co-pays for future visits.

Dr. Drake seriously has the hand of an artist. My procedure came out better than the brochure pictures. The last time I saw Dr. Drake, I mentioned that my fiancé wanted me to ask him about the gum recession I have that resulted in “dark triangles” appearing between my teeth. I read about gum grafting online and because of the size of my gaps, Dr. Drake told me that grafting wouldn’t be as effective as I thought it would be. Then, he told me about a procedure called Bioclear. It’s essentially like a filling that would widen the width my affected teeth ever so slightly so that the limited gum I have would have a much smaller gap between my teeth which it would be able to fill in. I was hesitant at first because I didn’t think the brochure pictures were very convincing. The first place where Dr. Drake went above and beyond was how he did a quick example filling to roughly slow me what a closed gap would look like in my mouth. Maybe not more than 5 minutes later I couldn’t believe the smile I saw in the mirror. So, I said, “F*ck it, I’m!” and a couple of hours later I have a smile that looks like the one I had when I was younger. My problem was that I never flossed until my noticeable gum recession really scared me into flossing regularly. By then it was too late to reverse the damage and even natural remedies like oil touted by friends had no effect. However, after this procedure was done, I literally felt like I turned back the clock. The second place where Dr. Drake went above and beyond was in the care he took on my teeth. During the procedure, I could tell he was putting the same care into my teeth that he would have put into his own teeth. He ensured the substance bonded to my teeth flawlessly without any noticeable are where my tooth begins and the bonded substance starts. He also smoothed it out so that the tip of my tongue can’t tell the difference between what is my original tooth and what is not. The duration of this procedure would have tired me out. There is such tedious and painstaking detail that must go into it in order for it to come out perfect. But, Dr. Drake never once showed any sign of the fatigue or waning of attention span that I feel I would’ve displayed. From beginning to end, Dr. Drake’s focus, stead hand and attention to detail was always at the same high level. I’m simply amazed and astonished at the work he sculpted.

Great experience going to Dr. Drake!! The entire Staff is super friendly and welcoming and Dr Drake is awesome. My husband and I will now be going here for our regular cleanings moving forward. The work they do is super thorough. I feel like I’m in good hands here. I also love they are open on Saturday’s. A huge plus for us who find it hard to fit in appointments during the week. My husband and I highly recommend going here!!

Dr. Drake and his staff were amazing! Very personable and kind. As a new patient I was nervous to try a new dentist after loving mine for so long, but they really made me feel welcome and safe. I trusted them to give me a fantastic cleaning and they did.
Couldn’t be happier with my visit 🙂
