TOP DENTISTS OF NORTHERN KENTUCKY

his list is excerpted from the 2019 topDentists™ list, a database which includes listings of more than 60 general dentists and specialists practicing in Northern Kentucky. The list is based on thousands of detailed evaluations of dental professionals by their peers. The complete database is available at www.usatopdentists. com. For more information call 706-3640853, write P.O. Box 970, Augusta, GA 30903, email info@usatopdentists.com or visit www.usatopdentists.com

SELECTION PROCESS “If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to?”

This is the question we’ve asked thousands of dentists to help us determine who the top dentists should be. Dentists and specialists are asked to take into consideration years of experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of

new techniques and technologies and, of course, physical results.

The nomination pool of dentists consists of dentists listed online with the American Dental Association, as well as dentists listed online with their local dental societies, thus allowing virtually every dentist the opportunity to participate. Dentists are also given the opportunity to nominate other dentists that they feel should be included in our list.

Respondents are asked to put aside any personal bias or political motivations and to use only their knowledge of their peer’s work when evaluating the other nominees.

Voters are asked to individually evaluate the practitioners on their ballot whose work they are familiar with. Once the balloting is completed, the scores are compiled and then averaged. The numerical average required for inclusion varies depending on the average for all the nominees within the specialty and the geographic area. Borderline cases

Peter Family Dentistry is a place “where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad you came.” But despite this somewhat old-fashioned approach to hospitality, its facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. While Dr. Peter’s practice spends a substantial amount of time serving patients with significant dental needs such as implants and veneers, it also reserves time for healthy patients and families. Whatever your needs may be, the caring team at Peter Family Dentistry will always welcome you.

are given a careful consideration by the editors. Voting characteristics and comments are taken into consideration while making decisions. Past awards a dentist has received, as well as status in various dental academies, can factor in our decision.

Once the decisions have been finalized, the included dentists are checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have an active license and are in good standing with the board.

Then, letters of congratulations are sent to all the listed dentists.

Of course, there are many fine dentists who are not included in this representative list. It is intended as a sampling of the great body of talent in the field of dentistry in the United States. A dentist’s inclusion on our list is based on the subjective judgments of his or her fellow dentists. While it is true that the lists may at times disproportionately reward visibility or popularity, we remain confident that our polling methodology largely corrects for any biases and that these lists continue to represent the most reliable, accurate, and useful list of dentists available anywhere.

Dr. Mulzer has been helping patients of Northern Kentucky since 1999.

He is dedicated to offering patients the best treatment in a comfortable environment. His office has the latest technology, like one-day crowns with Cerec, invisible tooth straightening with Invisalign, and soft tissue laser treatment. For his patients’ comfort, there are individual TVs in each room, massaging dental chairs and a drink station in the waiting room. At Pinnacle Family Dentistry, we treat our patients like family.

We pride ourselves in staying on time with appointments because your time is just as valuable as ours. We also try to educate our patients on any treatment needed. We want to make sure you understand why you need something repaired, what all the options are to complete the work, and, most importantly, how to keep it from happening in the future. We welcome all ages in the practice, from child to adult. It is easier to have the whole family seen at one office instead of driving all over the area to different locations for each age group in your family.
