Dr. Richard D. Thayer is the gold standard for dental care—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring. My family has trusted him for over 15 years, through everything from routine cleanings to my son’s wisdom tooth extraction. What sets him apart is his dedication to comfort; he never proceeds until you’re fully at ease, even for something as simple as a filling. The office has a classic, welcoming feel with staff who remember your dental history and preferences.
When my husband needed emergency care after a bike accident, they squeezed him in immediately. They work with insurance seamlessly and are upfront about costs for uncovered services. It’s dental care that feels like a partnership—Dr. Thayer truly has your long-term oral health in mind. We’d never go anywhere else.

I’m going to start this out by saying,if you need a “GREAT” family dentist, Dr Richard Thayer is your guy! I remember as a kid in the 70’s getting a needle to numb my tooth area to be fixed. It hurt like hell. Very rarely do I feel the needle from Dr Thayer. Honestly. Maybe just a small prick. Not like the Drs office when they say it will only hurt a little and then you scream in agony. He’s caring, gentle and more caring. I cannot give him enough praise.
He’s been our family dentist for about 27 years and most my one side of our family uses him and for years longer than us. My sister and kid, aunts,uncles, and cousins. My mom and dad used him til they moved just a few years ago. My adult kids still use him as they did from their first tooth. He cares so much that he WILL respond to your calls on a Sunday, like he just did for me. While he was at a big outdoor event. He takes the time. If our surgeons/Drs and family practioners cared as much, we’d be healthier for sure.
We think of Dr Thayer as family and always will! Again, if you need the best dentist in our area, maybe the U. S, call Dr Richard Thayer. He is everybodies guy for dentistry. I truly mean this. The guy Rocks. And the staff are always happy there. They all make you feel welcomed.

He seems like a very nice guy and it's true he is very good at giving the shots and drills like a pro. Unfortunately, the reason he is so "good" is because he drills so often even when it's not necessary. I had one cavity in 23 years until I went to this guy. Then I seemed to have a cavity at every visit. I even changed to a sonicare toothbrush and began flossing obsessively after every meal.
I finally realized as I never felt any issues and he continued to find cavities that it was time to switch. Its been 10 years and have not had a cavity since. I only hope others don't go through the same experience. You only get one set of adult teeth and must protect them from more than just cavities.

I grew up going to Dr. Thayer. Which I think says a lot about his gentleness because I have absolutely no fear of the dentist. I unfortunately haven’t seen him in years because I moved out of state. I have tried 3 new dentists since and I’ve given up on finding one as good as him. Seriously, you don’t know what you got ‘til it’s gone.
