Dr. Robert F Faulkner, DDS

A very skilled Maxillofacial Prosthodontist who is detail oriented and unusually good communication skill.

Rude. Antiquated Methods. Solely Profit Driven. No character or integrity. Slandered my good name which prevented further desperately needed treatment. He will revise your treatment to fit his lack of skill as opposed to revealing all available options. You will feel cornered in after your appointment. Lots of options besides what this guy offers. Get 4 on 4 implants. Don't let this guy tell you dentures are your only option. There is a great doc right here in Cincinnati who can help you. Just do a little research. Stich with 4 on 4!!!

I drove from Louisville up to Cincinnati to this prosthodontist after my local prosthodontist made me unsightly temporary teeth, took my money, and then never finished the permanent bridge. I had a very difficult case, as I had lost several key teeth and had bone loss in several areas, which prevented me from getting implants. Dr. Faulkner took 3 appointments, just for evaluation. He did assessments I had never seen before, and I have had extensive dental work throughout my life. Dr. Faulkner had me undergo orthodontia in order to bring my teeth into better alignment, improve my bite (which had been damaging my teeth), and got me a lovely result that was far superior to what I had been promised by the best prosthodontists in Louisville. That's because he thought outside the box, and more carefully analyzed my bit alignment. His mannerism at times can be a bit brusque, though never rude. But you shouldn't hire a doctor to kiss up to you or hold your hand. You… hire doctors to solve a problem and to get a good result. Dr. Faulkner is very task oriented, professional, and meticulous. Having had poor results from my prior amiable, sweet dentists, I couldn't care less about one's "caring manner." Dr. Faulkner's result was stellar, and In time, I found him quite personable. His commitment to excellence and perfection elevates him far above his peers. I have beautiful strong teeth, supported underneath with gold copings, and a plan to handle future problems without paying to re-do an entire bridge. I am delighted and grateful. Oh, I gave him 3 stars on ease of appointments only because he is so busy that it takes a while to get an appointment scheduled with him, but if you have an emergency and are already a patient, he will see that you are tended to promptly.

Does what he thinks is correct with little regard for your own knowledge of self. I found him arrogant and dismissive. His "fix" narrowed down my maxilla and raised what's called the dome (roof of the mouth) ultimately causing resultant musculoskeletal issues. If he'd told me what he was going to do before he did it instead of as I was coming to, I never would have let him do it.
