I have been going to Dr. Noseck since 1998 and the nephew Dr. Ryan took over and is now practicing with his father. This dentist is so knowledgable with all of the up to date techniques in dentistry it pleases me to go back every time!!!

Dr. Ryan Noseck was one of the best dentists I’ve ever seen. He was very up to date on all the latest technology while still very personable and easy to talk to… I felt very comfortable and trusted that he was giving me honest and top quality dental care. While being a nice guy, he is a perfectionist with a keen cosmetic eye. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent dentist in the Tucson area!!

I’ve been going to this practice for 20 years and have found Dr. Noseck AND his staff to be very upfront and honest about all fees. Dr. Ryan and his knowledgeable financial coordinator Collette go out of their way to do free consultations where they spell out multiple treatment plans, fees, payment plan options, and insurance coverage. I’ve found that discrepancies with fees usually come back to the insurance company, NOT the practice. I’ve trusted the integrity of this practice for many years, and I would never consider going anywhere else!

I have had ALOT of work done at this office as well as alot of my friends I have referred to him and we adore him and his work. He doesn’t screw anyone out of any money, you know exactly what the expenses are before you go in. Let me tell you, you get what you pay for and if you want cheap dentistry then you’ll find it along with crappy work. I’ve been there so I know the difference. The only thing I didn’t like about going to his office and that has been rectified was his previous dental hygenist, she had the personality of a rock which was real exciting. He has a very nice one now.

Dr. Ryan is one of the best dentists I have ever seen. He Keeps up on the latest technology, is forthcoming, thoughtful, and HONEST about his treatment suggestions, and does not try to sell you unneccesary treatment. I know from experience the last reviewer probably had a mouth full of periodontal disease or cavities that Dr. Ron (the older dentist) was trying to nurse along. Dr. Ryan comes in and tries to do the right thing by ONLY SUGGESTING new avenues of treatment. Then, gets penalized for it. I know for a fact that Dr. Ryan does not push treatment on people. He is very mellow and extremely personable. Anyway, I’m just defending a dentist that I have been with for over 5 years and trust dearly. I’m sure the previous reviewer will enjoy his new dentist all the way through until he’s wearing dentures!

I had my first experience with the Noseck office 8 or 9 years ago. My daughter was in town visiting at Christmas and lost a crown on a tooth. We called several offices and only the Noseck office said come right over. She went in and met Dr. Ron who reset the crown and sent her on her way. No charge! This family became our family dentist that day! We now use Dr Ryan and find him to be professional and concerned about our health and well being. Charges are fully explained and reasonable. Everyone in the office is helpfull and friendly!

Hi. My name is Ceci and I would like to tell you about my experience with DR,RYAN. I was a patient of Ryan’s dad Ronald Noseck for 14 years. Dr. Noseck would tell me about his family at my yearly vists. He told me about Ryan and how he was studying to follow in his foot steps.When the day came that Dr. Noseck was retiring, I was very sad. Well my tooth was hurting me so I made an appointment with Dr. Ryan. He was so warm and friendly and genuinly concerned. He did his exam and let me know what needed to be done. I felt like I already knew Dr. Ryan. I was scheduled for an appointment and he completed the procedure quickly and gently.( I am very nervous when I go to the Dentist and he made me feel at ease.) Since that an initial appointment, I have gone back 3 times and each time I am greeted pleasantly by Colette and the rest of the staff. If you want quality dental care, then DR. RYAN NOSECK is who you should go to. I am a pediatric nurse myself and I know how patients should be cared for. DR. RYAN is the best. NOT BAD TO LOOK AT EITHER.

— CECI

He is a terrific dentist! He loves what he does, and is a perfectionist. He is very kind and gentle with his patients. His name Dr. Ryan A. Noseck

— MFP

Dr. Noseck and his team are true professionals. My entire family and I’ve been patients of this practice for over 30 years and would never consider switching dentists. They are so dedicated and care so much about their patients they are willing to extract a tooth on Christmas Eve. Amazing!!

— JULIE

About six years ago, Dr. Ryan A. Noseck became my dentist. I usually dread going to the dentist—not any more. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Ryan A. Noseck, and have recommended him, to anyone who wants a caring, competent doctor. Dr. Ryan listens to you, addresses any concerns you may have, and is concerned that you are comfortable. He is a PERFECTIONIST! I had to have bridge made. Dr. Ryan explained what work had to be done, the cost involved, and what my insurance would cover. He showed a lot of attention to detail—from the materials that the bridge would be made from, & the appearance of the teeth. (He sent it back to the lab TWICE before he was satisfied.) It is comfortable and looks very natural. He keeps current with dental technology. He did a laser procedure for me in one visit that was painless-the traditional way is 4 visits. He and his staff are great!

I was referred to Dr Ryan Noseck by a good friend. I have a dentist phobia, soo bad, that I am a nervous wreck just having to go to a dentist for a cleaning. I must say that Dr Noseck is hands down the BEST dentist I have ever seen my entire life. He is very kind, very gentle and very precise, and does stellar work. Unfortunately I moved away from Tucson and now have to look for a new dentist. I wish I was independently wealthy, so I could fly back to Tucson when I need dental work done. I recommend Dr Noseck very highly, especially if you are a wimp like me, lol. He was perfect for me, he will be perfect for you.

I recently went to Dr Noseck for a root canal. I was extremely apprehensive. He completely put my mind at ease. The procedure was totally painless and I did not even need pain medication afterward. I would highly recommend Dr Ryan Noseck for all of your of your family s dental needs.

— LAURA

Dr. Noseck has been my dentist since 2005. I am in my mid sixties and he is without a doubt THE BEST dentist I have ever seen. I am dental phobic –– but we have done a route canal, a crown, fillings, etc. In every case he has put me at ease. I hope I never have to see another dentist –– I have the BEST! RRR, Tucson, AZ

The moment Colette answers the phone you know you have found something wonderful. It will only take her a few calls to know your voice and name. Because Colette was so knowledgeable and accommodating I made an appointment. Dr. Noseck is an amazing meticulous professional and very personable. He too will remember your name, needs, and worries. I have had cleanings, caps, fillings, and Lord knows what else, I never felt a thing. Now that is amazing coming from a dental anxiety mess that I can be. He is patient, kind and a perfectionist. Expect to be pampered from the minute you walk in. Colette will help with all the insurance and finance issues. I can gaurentee you that your dental health is their priority not how much money you can give them. Janell is a wonderful hygienist and gentle as well. Your teeth will shine, and she quietly explains each move and is very careful of sensitive spots. She listens. You have never seen anything like how Dr Noseck works with his assistant-How many times does an assistant make sure you have warm water to rinse your mouth!?. Her tiny little hands work so gently. It is fun to observe how they work together and how she can assess what his next move will be. AND to hear him say thank you to her. is comforting because it reinforces that he is a caring professional. Altogether it is a great experience, you will be comfortable, pain-free and your teeth will become better and better with each visit. IF you have any questions Collete can put you at ease and is a great teacher, preparing you and advising you.

The best possible recommendation I could have received, for my recent broken tooth accident. Dr. Ryan and his entire staff, made my visits to his office, the ONLY place for me or my wife, to go for dental work. I have White Coat Hypertension, and from Colette to Dr. Ryan s assistants, ALL made my visits so much easier. As soon as Dr. Ryan asked Colette how fast I could be placed in for appointments, for a crown, she was on the phone, rearranging times for me. I am sure that what might have been six weeks or more, took less than three weeks. We are full-time RV folks, and finding this type of top professional care, while on the road, is rare. We have provided are the strongest recommendation to the RV CAMP at Davis Monthan AFB to ALL who may need regular check-ups or emergency work. We plan on ONLY visiting this office next year when we return to Tucson. Dr. Ryan sets the example for the office, with his approach to patient care. Thank you to all, for the great service.

I have high dental anxiety. How can you help?

Nitrous Oxide & Sedation

Everyone hates going to see the dentist...

But, some people (and you know if this is you) have a DEEP phobia of the dentist. I mean, a REAL visceral response to the very thought of going to see the dentist.

Many times, I have found this fear to be connected to a bad past experience that occurred in a dental office when the patient was very young. It’s amazing. I have 90 plus year old patients terrified of the dentist because of a bad experience that happened when they were six!!!

I understand these fears because I’ve had them myself. I’m very relaxed when I’m doing dentistry. But, if you put me in that dental chair (or any doctor chair), my heart starts to race, palms get sweaty, brow dampens, you know the routine. I can’t stop this response no matter how hard I try to relax. And, needles... don’t get me started!!! I give somewhere between 20 and 30 injections a day. No problem. But when I’m the one on the other end of that needle… the heart races, palms sweat, etc!!!

So, I have a deep compassion for these patients who are terrified of the dental office. I understand them, cater to them, and, as a result, have many of them in my practice. In terms of sedation options, I have tremendous success with nitrous oxide. I also offer oral sedation (i.e. taking a pill like valium or halcion.) But, I find many advantages to nitrous oxide.

Nitrous Oxide is “laughing gas”. It’s what you always see in the movies (like Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors!!) Basically, it’s a gas that you breathe in through the nose. The gas is combined with oxygen which acts to dilute it. This combination of nitrous and oxygen has two advantages: One, it gives me direct and quick access to OXYGEN which is invaluable to any medical emergency, medically compromised patient, or high anxiety patient. And second, it allows me to regulate the amount of nitrous oxide the patient receives. Unlike taking a pill, you are not stuck with the over effect (or under effect) of the amount taken. Nitrous concentrations can be changed at will throughout the appointment until a perfect “level” of sedation is attained. If my patient has too much of an effect, I turn it down. If my patient is not relaxed enough, I turn it up. Very simple. And, in the RARE cases where the person does not like the feeling of nitrous oxide, I turn it off, run 100% oxygen, and the person is back to normal in less than 2 minutes. This is something you CAN NOT do with a pill.

All patients can drive home after nitrous oxide, by the way.

A lot of people ask me, “What is it like being on nitrous?” Well, I always the start the person on 100% oxygen and slowly bring in the nitrous. The beginning effects are a very gentle, tingle in the fingertips or a warm “fuzzy” feeling inside. (It’s hard to explain.) But, it is a comforting, good, feeling. As the person becomes used to this initial feeling, I SLOWLY turn the nitrous up and talk to the patient as the effect increases. I adjust the concentration until the patient tells me they are in a good place. A “good place” is comparable to having a glass (or two??) of wine....

I never put my patients “to sleep”. My goal is to get them in a comfortable and relaxed place. Sometimes, people say that they don’t feel any different, but they notice they are no longer nervous. This, to me, is the perfect level of sedation. I like people to be awake, communicative, in control, and, most importantly, relaxed. If the person is still nervous, I will increase the nitrous concentration to a deeper state of sedation until my patient is comfortable.

Once my patient is comfortable, I ask them if they are ready to be numbed. (I never proceed until the patient is ready.) In terms of local anesthesia, I ALWAYS presoak the area in a topical gel that pre-numbs the area so the person does not feel “the shot”. In addition, I have received special training and have many techniques in giving painless injections. I am confident I can give a painless injection everywhere in the mouth except for the lower molars. Due to anatomy in this area, there can sometimes be a “pinch” (maybe 20-30% of the time??). If the patient is on nitrous oxide, this percentage is more like 5% But, regardless, I always prepare the patient for this and minimize it as much as possible.

Next, I will ALWAYS test the area before beginning the procedure. I will not begin ANY procedure until I know the patient is completely numb, relaxed, and ready. I urge patients to TELL ME if they feel ANY sensitivity or do not feel relaxed at any point in the procedure. To me, a dental procedure is a constant conversation. I explain as I go (if the person wants to know..) and introduce each successive part of the procedure while constantly adjusting the nitrous level.

Overall, I have many “dental-phobics” as patients because I take the time to make sure they are comfortable. I don’t rush through procedures. And, I don’t make patients feel bad if we need to stop and make sure adequate anesthesia is attained.

I am here for you. Nitrous Oxide is great stuff and, believe it or not, can make seeing the dentist actually kind of fun. In addition, I have many patients who have used nitrous oxide as a tool to overcome their fear of going to the dentist. Many people who formerly used nitrous now no longer need it.

So, if you have been putting off going to the dentist for many years (OR if you’ve just begun putting off going to the dentist), you really should give me a try! I also don’t make people feel bad for avoiding seeing the dentist for years and years. In terms of number of years since last seeing the dentist, I NORMALLY get numbers like 20 years, 30 years, even 40 years plus!!! So, don’t feel bad! Just remember, the longer you wait, the more extensive (and expensive) the treatment gets!

Do you accept my insurance?

Yes

What should I expect at my first visit?

Your First Visit

At your first visit, Dr. Ryan will take a detailed medical history, record all patient concerns and complaints, conduct a comprehensive exam, and take a full series of X-Rays. Study models and photos are taken with more involved cases. The comprehensive exam consists of a restorative evaluation (looking for cavities), a periodontal evaluation (evaluating gum tissue), a soft tissue cancer screen, and TMJ evaluation.

If there is work to be done, patients will be brought back for a consult to discuss the exam. A detailed treatment plan will be presented to the patient outlining all proposed treatment. Patients will leave the consult knowing all dental options, exact cost of the various levels of treatment, and what percentage of that cost will be covered by insurance. (Our office also provides payment plan options.)

Dr. Ryan encourages patients to bring all questions or concerns to the consult. It is a time for the patient to be educated on their dental condition in a supportive and positive way. In understanding the many wonderful treatment options available to patients in our practice, anxiety levels are often lowered by this experience.

Do you offer payment plans?

We Offer Financial Arrangements with Care Credit, Up To 2 years No Interest.

Treatment plans are established foremost. Care is taken as so patients know and understand their treatment options, cost of treatment, and insurance coverage before any treatment is rendered. We take Delta insurance plans and accept (and submit for) ALL insurances; however, we are out of network. Our practice also offers free consultations and payment plans.
