Highly Recommend – Truly Amazing Dentist!
I had a wisdom tooth emergency and was lucky enough to get in with Dr. Ripplinger! From the moment I walked in, he made a stressful situation so much better. He was incredibly friendly, patient, and genuinely caring. He took the time to explain everything and made me feel completely calm and at ease.
I was especially grateful that he let my mom come back into the room with me for support. The entire extraction was quick, smooth, and done in just about 6 minutes. I barely felt anything and was so impressed with how efficiently and gently he worked.

This was the best dental experience I’ve ever had. My wife is a hygienist so I have been around many dentists over the last 30 years. While many/most of those experiences have been good, this experience takes the cake! They saw me in an emergency situation and took all the necessary time to make sure I left their office not only fixed but even better than I could have hoped for. I left with a crown that is beautiful and a second tooth repaired that was an unexpected problem! I also have zero residual pain…no sore jaw or lips or achy teeth in the repair zone. Great job!
Whitehaven is in a nice location—clean, modern, and accommodating. All of the staff are professional and pleasant to be around. The dentist and hygienist did great work and asked thorough questions to ensure proper care. I’m glad I found them.
