To Our Patients,
We understand and deeply respect that you may be concerned about coronavirus in public places, even at our state-of-the-art sterilized office.
Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients. And that is a priority we take extremely seriously, even with the current disruptions we’re all experiencing.
It has been a very difficult decision, but we have decided that it is in the best interest of our community, our team, and our patients that we not see patients for the time being.
If you do have a scheduled appointment, we will be reaching out to you directly to get you rescheduled to a future date.
This is just one more way that we can show our high level of care for you … and for everyone in our community. We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.
As always, if you have any questions, please call our office at 360-229-5861.
Sincerely,
Dr. Rick Jude
Prosthetic Dentistry of Olympia
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.
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!
Efficient and friendly place
I always feel very well cared for in all areas...my comfort while there, any concerns I may have, and of course my dental needs and experience. Dr Jude and his staff are wonderful.
Routine cleaning and exam, everything went smoothly
Once again had a positive experience with Dr Jude and his excellent staff.
While this was my father's 3rd visit to Dr Jude, this is was the first to address cavities. My father didn't feel the novocan shot and Dr. Jude checked on his comfort several times during the procedure. My dad is very pleased with the compassion and skill of Dr Jude.
