I didn’t think it could get better, but they make you feel so easy, there’s no other place that I would go. I find that he’s genuine. He always comes in and he’ll say, “How was your day?” He’ll shake your hand when you’re done, and he always will tell you, “I am here if you need anything.” That made all the difference in the world because there was one time that I had a crown going on and we lost power and I said, “How are we going to deal with this?”
And he came back to me, and he said, “Do not worry because if you have to return tomorrow, even though it’s our day off, I’m coming in.” And I thought, “Who does that?” So when it comes to dentistry, you should not fool around with it. So you can’t get the service that they provide you here anywhere else. They would drop everything for you to take care of you. And I know that for 11 years of being here.
The dentistry that we’ve come across has been excellent, whether it’s a cavity filled, whether it’s some other service, it’s been expert service. From the moment you walk in the door, you are greeted with a smile and a welcome, and that’s the staff at the counter. And then the actual staff who services, they’re experts in their field. I know that I’m going to get good service, very good service when I come here.
Dr. Fugate is an outstanding dentist. Everyone who works in the practice goes above and beyond what you would expect from any kind of an employee, whether it’s the people at the desk who are handling your dental insurance issues, or whether it’s your hygienist or the people who assist Dr. Fugate in his procedures. It’s just a very high level of competence, and it’s just enjoyable to be with people that are enjoying their jobs so much.
The quality of care here has been outstanding, particularly the necessity for the doctor to refer me to other specialists, and he’s integrated their working into his care for my dental issues. So that’s worked incredibly well. I would highly recommend this practice, and I always have, because the proof is in the pudding, the dental care that I’ve received, and my wife has received over 17 years. It’s at the highest level that I could anticipate receiving from a dental practice.
And it’s much more advanced than the cheap $50, $70 ones you buy off Amazon or eBay or any of the internet sites. I’ve tried them all, and I’ve done other expensive ones from other dentists. But this new version is far and above better than the other ones I’ve tried. My recommendation would be to definitely just give it a shot. I think you would find that the staff are very personable, and you’d feel right at home here and comfortable, and maybe some of your fears would be eased.
So they accommodated me. Within the following week, I had an appointment. And we’ve traveled a lot. The last particular…about two years ago, we were traveling and I had just had a crown. Even the doctor had said, “What you can do is if you’re…” Because I told him if I’m in New England [SP], I don’t want anybody touching me. We were going to be there for three weeks, call it in, and I will make sure that you can get something that’ll carry you over so that when you get back we’ll take care of it. And I never needed that.
So just that sense of security helped a lot. The beauty of coming here is when you get a crown you get to sit and leave with a permanent crown, that, to me, is crucial. I feel like I can smile. Not that…a lot of people tell me that I always walk into a room, it seems, smiling. But I don’t feel that way. But I just feel more confident with the dental work, and it just makes you feel all-in-all good, you know, general health pretty well. So that worked out pretty well.
I’ve had crowns done. He’s sent me to different places to have root canals. He’s sent me to different places to have a tooth pulled. And my first experience with having crown is made here, you know, which is awesome. I had a lot of dental work done here, and I couldn’t ask for better results. And again, if you need anything, emergency services, he’s on board. The care that you get is just far better than any dental I’ve ever been to.
So I think that’s very important in the dental world. It has improved my smile. I smile a lot. I am always delighted to smile because of the care that I have received from here. I have always been comfortable in this office, not so much in my previous dental office. But once I came in here, met the staff, met the doctor, I was very comfortable, and it was easy to be comfortable with you and your staff members, and the doctor.
It was important that I’d be in a dental practice that made sure that the periodontal end of it was also paid attention to. Back in the day, yeah, I did have pain from the periodontal issues, which I do not have anymore. I haven’t had it in all the years I’ve been part of this practice. My condition was pretty well under control when I got here, but it needed that maintenance. And I needed to have him get me to a periodontist that would be part of a team that would make sure I didn’t…those conditions didn’t recur. It’s not a problem anymore. I don’t worry about it anymore. I know it’s completely under control, and I know if anything develops that it’ll be taken care of right away.

This Dentist took me in on somewhat emergency basis since I was out of town but when I arrived at the office I was treated as if I had been a patient of theirs for years.

I recently moved to the area. My previous dentist in another town recommended Dr. Fugate. Even though his office is a 35-minute drive from where I now live, I wanted to follow up on the recommendation to see if we ‘clicked’. The dental hygienist was very friendly, very gentle yet thorough in her cleaning. She has a great personality and immediately puts you at ease. Dr. Fugate was very professional, answered any questions I had and was very thorough. The office is very welcoming, clean, friendly, and I’m happy to have found a new dentist in this area.

Crowns while you wait. Very professional. Great staff. Just had another visit to crown my new implant. Great digital impression and installation was pretty seamless. Another great visit for an oral hygiene appointment and X-rays. All good. Typical professional friendly competent service. Also followed up on the crowns of 2 new implants done in September. Great to have all my teeth problem free. Be back in February to replace 2 old old crowns (while I wait of course). Cannot do any better!! Typically good oral hygiene appointment with Emily. On time into the chair. Initial inspection and explained how I can do a better job of brushing. Measured my pockets and did a thorough cleaning. Friendly and professional as always. 5 star as always.
D. M. (Verified Patient)
Laurie Myers here… Always a good visit! 😆Teeth cleaning went well! Sad news that I need an implant. Getting old sucks.😕 Laurie Myers New update…Hannah took good care of my Xrays & teeth cleaning! 😁No problems found that she could see. Dr.Fugate will have a look at the new Xrays & if need be come in to see him.😀 Laurie Myers New update…Hannah took great care of me & commented that I’m taking good care of my teeth.😁 I needed X-rays & sadly, Dr. Fugate found that I have two upper crowns, one very old & the other 12 years old, that have to be pulled, issues taken care of & crown replaced. Like I said before, getting older is sometimes not fun. But this find is necessary. We all need to take good care of our teeth!😬 New update! Hannah did my teeth cleaning yesterday & did an amazing service to my teeth! She always does! Dr. Fugate told me that I have another old, old crown that is starting to pull away from my gums & cracking/ flaking a bit in one section. Hannah showed me a photo of it & will have to get that taken care on in the near future.😞 I do enjoy my experience at Vonore Dental, as they are very good at what they do! Keeping my teeth & gums happy & healthy!😁
