For Patients

Our friendly team takes the time to make sure every patient feels welcome at Tucker Dental Excellence. As your Erie, PA dentist, you can expect a warm greeting when you first arrive, along with conversation with someone who is genuinely interested in you as a person. You’re never just a set of symptoms and treatments.

Every examination begins with us listening to you. We know how important it is to take the time to hear about your experience. After all, it’s your mouth, your teeth, and your health. You know it better than we do.

Once we understand your concerns, we’ll start our exam. We’ll look in detail at the problems you mentioned, but we will go far beyond that, as well. We believe that it’s important to understand your health wholistically. Your oral and overall health are closely intertwined, and it’s important to address these overlaps. That’s why every general dental examination will also include evaluations for sleep apnea and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ/TMD).

We’ll let you know what we find and provide treatment recommendations. The decision of if, when, and how to proceed is always yours. We will never press you to get more treatment than you think you need. We just want to make sure you know about potential problems so you can make informed decisions.

Dr. John H. Tucker has practiced dentistry in Erie for over 40 years. He has completed additional training beyond dental school, earning accolades in many areas of dentistry, including cosmetic dentistry, restorative dentistry, implant dentistry, TMJ treatment, and sleep dentistry. He also brings an insightful and innovative approach that has made him a sought-after lecturer and consultant. With his exceptional training, experience, and insight, Dr. Tucker brings great skill to the chairside whenever you get treatment.

In addition, Dr. Tucker knows what dental materials will give you the best results. We always work with high-quality materials to ensure you will be happy with the results. This combination means that your dental restorations will be selected, manufactured, and placed to ensure the highest quality results.

The combination of high-quality materials and skilled placement provides a strong foundation for long-lasting results from your dental treatment. This is not to say that a procedure that isn’t able to last–like dental bonding–will endure as long as a procedure designed to last–porcelain veneers–but you will enjoy results that often last longer than expected for the treatment type.
