Bowman, Dr. Christopher A.

As you may know, the replacement of only 1 of a group of 8 existing upper front crowns is very difficult. The color and shape of the new crown must work together to blend into the existing crowns; if not, it will stand out very obviously. Dr. Bowman did a great job of prep and was meticulous and extremely thorough so as to provide his dental lab with sufficient information to create a new front tooth that would look as though it 'belonged'. And even better, he does a fantastic job when numbing and freezing the gum area that will be worked on. I'm no stranger to having such anesthetic shots, and know that it can be especially sensitive in the upper front of the jaw. I can tell you I breathed a huge sigh of relief as Dr. Bowman performed these shots. He is a miracle worker! Thank you, Dr. Bowman.

I called the company to schedule an estimate. Since they were the installers for my siding some years ago, he was able to refer back to prior pictures they had to provide an estimate. (I would have replaced the shutters then, but they were only 1 year old at the time) The estimate was called in a few days later and I accepted. He just needed to come by to measure, get a signed contract and payment. He arrived on time. Measured and I was able to pay by credit card. Receipt for payment was received by mail. As mentioned the shutters came in a few weeks later and were installed. The shutters look great and since they are vinyl, I don't have to worry about painting anything on my house anymore.

I complained for a little while about the gaps that were started to develop between my teeth. I had braces in my early 20s but was never told that I would need to wear braces for the rest of my life. My dentist ask what my main complaint was and suggest 6 Month Smiles rather than traditional or Invisalign braces. This would only be 6mos of torture and would be a lot cheaper than Invisalign. My smile was straight, I was just developing gaps. So that was the best option. I paid for the braces 11/12/2012 and he suggested that I wait until I return from vacation to get it done. So on 1/8/2013 I spent a few hours at the dentist getting them installed. The braces are somewhat similar to the traditional braces except they are made of plastic. So he installed bite guards to help prevent me from knocking the lower brackets off. That was the most annoying aspect of the braces -my mouth would not completely close. So I was limited to the types of food I could consume (in ability to chew). So the 1st month or so I ate a lot of smoothies and soft foods. Hey...I lost weight! Each month I'd go in for an adjustment. Around month 4 things were nearly perfect so the guards were removed and he suggested that I come in once a week to have adjustments. He said I would be finished quicker. Here it is 5/16/2013 and my braces have been removed. My teeth were polished and cleaned today. I have a beautiful bite without any gaps. I received my complimentary retainers same day. This retainer will only last 6 mos. So in December I will have 4 Invisalign retainers made. Each lasting one year. And I will wear my retainers for the rest of my life.

My experience with Dr. Bowman was very positive. He and Kim took time to answer my questions, as well as my fiance's questions. They were very prompt. We did not have to wait. Dr. Bowman was very kind and professional. He took his time with me. Because of the extent of the work I am going to have to have done, Dr. Bowman set up a second appt to discuss my options.

I would go to him in the future. I would also recommend his care.

I like the work that he does. He’s very thorough as far as I’m concerned. I have been seeing him for over a year now, probably almost two years. What I like about him, if you pay outright without going through any payment schedules you get a discount. I don’t feel any pain with him, I like his work. I'll be going back in two weeks!

I had gone several years without seeing a dentist because I had unusual fears of dentistry. Had a terrible experience with a root canal at 33 and avoided dentists and dentistry at all costs. My fears were such that I shook uncontrollably at my first visit. Dr. Bowman suggested sedation therapy and I could not be happier. Dr. Bowman is great, the staff is INCREDIBLE, results are movie star like, sedation therapy is the only way to have work done, and most importantly I can actually go to the dentist without fear. Never in a million years would I have expected such incredible results and such an incredible experience at a dentist's office. To summarize what I think they do special at Dr. Bowan's office - they do not work "on you", they work with you. Amazing place and people.
