Dr. John R. Licking is a 1970 graduate of the University of Southern California School of Dentistry. The doctor not only takes numerous continuing education classes every year, he was on the Peer Review Committee of the Santa Clara Dental Society, which establishes the standards for ethics and professionalism in dental practices. Dr. Licking is also one of the only dentists in Santa Clara County using ozone to actually reverse decay in teeth, turning the decayed area back to good sound tooth structure. Ozone is also very useful in treating gum infections which is the most comon cause of tooth loss. Dr Licking also has available the technology to allow him to complete crowns in one visit.
More important to his patients is the fact that Dr. Licking provides gentle and caring dentistry to all ages from small children to senior citizens. Dr. Licking's office has been called the Disneyland of dental offices because of their special program to make children feel comfortable and actually have fun visiting the dentist.
"It is our philosophy that we don't just provide clinical dental work, we also provide top-quality care in a comfortable and gentle dental office. We only offer what you need and make every effort to promote the health and long life of your teeth. Our environment is extremely friendly. In fact, if you've never experienced a truly friendly dental practice, you may actually be surprised at how warmly you are greeted, gently cared for and treated as a member of our family."
