I would like to preface this review by saying that I have been through a LOT of dental "stuff" over the years; countless consultations/trial and error to find a good fit with someone that could manage my case AND that I could trust, feel comfortable with, and be confident that my expectations could be met for the extensive amount of work that I have had done, which has included extensive orthodontic treatment, periodontal treatment and maintenance, double jaw surgery, a gingivectomy, extractions, bridges, a few fillings, and countless cleanings, x-rays, scans, models and molds. I moved to Alaska mid treatment plan, meaning I still had a significant amount of work that needed to be done, and I really struggled to find someone that checked off all of those boxes; especially with our options being so limited here. This led to a large gap in time/pause in my treatment plan occurring, which left me feeling defeated and like I was never going to find a good enough or right dentist to finish the work. Enter depression induced periodontal disease. After confiding in a new friend about my dental needs, woes, and frustrations she recommended Dr. Zoubek. I typically have significant amounts of anxiety prior to and during dental procedures because of my past experiences, and my oral health was in the worst condition it has ever been in when we first met. That does not make a good combination for someone like me, so I had a significant amount of anxiety prior to our first appointment. I was so relieved to find that not only is Dr. Zobek is incredibly kind and skilled, but she did not make me feel like I was being judged for the condition that I met her in. She and her staff make me feel comfortable, heard, supported, and she has THE BEST touch I have ever experienced with a dentist. For instance, I had to get a filling yesterday and her anesthetic injection technique was literally the best I have ever experienced. My dental journey is not complete, but, thanks to her, my treatment plan is back on track, my oral health has significantly improved, and I know that I am in the best hands possible. I seriously cannot say enough good things about Dr. Zoubek or her practice and highly recommend their care and services.
