Dr. Rick Jude practices denture and implant dentistry (prosthetic dentistry) in Olympia. After earning his dental degree at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry in 1989, he completed two specialty dental residencies. The first, at the University of Louisville, was in advanced education in prosthetic dentistry. The second residency was in advanced education in maxillofacial prosthetics at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. It focused on treating patients who had cancer, traumatic injuries, or congenital defects in the oral and facial area. Dr. Jude has also lectured all over the U.S. and as a full-time faculty member, teaching dental students and dentists about dental prosthetics.
A prosthodontist is a dentist who has completed dental school plus three additional years of advanced training and education in an ADA-accredited prosthodontic graduate program. They specialize in treating and handling dental and facial problems that involve restoring missing tooth and jaw structures. A prosthodontist is highly trained in cosmetics, dental implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, temporomandibular disorders (TMJ/TMD), and more.
Energies in the office were great. Doc was a happy guy and ladies calm and kindly. This was my first visit and I trust they are doing their best. 🌹
Dr. Jude and staff are exceptional in every way. Great care and great personal service.
Dr. Jude and his staff are knowledgeable, thorough and friendly. The blend of professionalism and hospitality is spot on. I am happy to have them on my side!
Very nice and got me in fast.
Dr. Jude and his staff are amazing. I was fortunate enough to find them about 6 years ago. I wouldn't even consider going to any other dental office. Everyone is so pleasant every time I go there. They always go above and beyond to ensure that I get the best deal from my insurance as well. Dr. Jude is a miracle worker. He filled in some gum recessions that I have had for years. I've never had that option presented to me from other Dental professionals. I thought I was just left to suffer with the sensitivity of it. That wasn't the case. Not only did he do an amazing job, but the color matching to my own teeth is incredible. You can't even tell I've had it done. I can't say thank you enough to Dr. Jude and his staff. If I could give them 10 Stars I would.
Dr. Jude and his staff are warm, efficient and friendly. I did receive a follow up call to see how I was faring. I'll have more to report after my next 12 appointments for a complete rebuild. One down, so far.
I have received exceptional dental and oral health care from Dr. Rick Jude and his staff for the last seven years. Dr. Jude is consistently thorough, gentle and informative. His professional expertise is top notch and he has gained my implicit trust with essential decisions and procedures. I feel relaxed in this clinic from the moment I walk through the door. The entire team is warm and professional. I always look forward to my appointments with Dr. Jude.
They always do a great job keeping me healthy.
After a brief wait to get into the office, my experience was outstanding! The hygienist demonstrated exceptional professionalism and skill as she set me at ease and provided one of the best routine, pain-free cleanings I've ever had; she has fully earned my admiration and loyalty. The office staff are ever helpful and personable, making me feel at home and among friends throughout my entire visit. Dr. Jude is truly outstanding at what he does while overseeing my oral health care with superb ability, intelligence, and pragmatism. Many thanks to Prosthetic Dentistry of Olympia for being the best of the best!
