I am a new Yuma resident and I needed to find a new dentist. Previously I was living in California having visited the same dentist for over 23 years having provided me excellent service. He is a hard act to follow-so to speak. I was a bit nervous about finding another good dentist who I would trust that is experience, providing excellent work, honest and also friendly. Last week I went to go see Dr. Ogie for the first time. His Office staff were very friendly and made sure that my dental insurance included Dr. Ogie, i.e. in-network dentist by calling to be sure. Dr. Ogie did a very through all job examining my teeth by reviewing the x-rays taken by utilizing state-of-the X-ray instrumentation as well as carefully visually probing for any abnormalities including cancer. He only noticed that one of my molars had a crown that is chipped. He told me that I could wait until whenever it gets worse as it was not really all that bad at this point. I was so relieved as my private dental insurance does not cover crowns. What a honest dentist!! I did mention to him about an infection that had been occurring on my bottom gum that would come and go. He believed it was due to the unusually wide gap between my teeth. Said could not really do anything about the gap as teeth are too close together. He had recommended that I use a waterpik as flossing was no enough to remove trapped food that was likely causing the problem. I know that his diagnosis was correct since I did have some issues...now that he had mentioned the probably cause with food getting stuck at times in that spot. The table top waterpik that he had recommended is working quite nicely. On my second visit, Melissa who is Dr. Ogie's Dental Hygienist who has worked with him the last 16 years did a marvelous job cleaning and polishing my teeth. I was a bit nervous about the second visit as it had been awhile since my last cleaning. She took her time (it was a lot of work) and was extremely nice as a person and highly skilled at her work, like Dr. Ogie. I felt very comfortable with their services. The office overall is very clean, modern and a very comfortable place to visit. Everyone is extremely friendly and I will definitely continue to visit them for all of my dental needs. I highly recommend Dr. Ogie as a great dentist to visit along with Melissa and his staff. Great People!
