Washington Prosthodontist Ratings: Dr. Keith Progebin, DDS, DC. Dr. Progebin, Prosthodontist, 20036.

Patient Review 1:

Keith Progebin has been my primary dentist for over 10 years. His operation is outstanding. His team does my maintenance cleaning, whitening, broken teeth, fillings, gum disease and now Invisalign.

They find my problems before they become serious, diagnose 'em immediately, prescribing everything from improved brush technique to dental potions to referrals to nutrition and exercise. Keith is a fanatic for the fast, elegant solution.

Recently my lower front tooth was irritating the roof of my mouth. I was wondering Cancer? At a scheduled cleaning, Keith as usual inspected the final product, and when I explained my discomfort, he looked, diagnosed, fixed the problem on the spot and set me up with a referral for braces. He explained the problem was fixed, but would come back until my bite was corrected.

Six weeks into the Invisalign treatment I broke a tooth. He had me in the next business day, explained it was a crown, not a tooth, probably caused by my shifting teeth, and it was probably better to wait until my bite was perfected before doing a permanent fix.

I come in ten minutes early, and am generally in the chair five minutes early. Front desk gives me insurance papers filled out as I leave the appointment.

About Hygienist: Denise is great. She works on the teeth, and when she doesn't like something, has a knowledge of what could be causing it that goes way beyond dentistry. Good golf tips, too.

Treatment Length with Dr. Progebin: 10 years.

I would give Dr. Pogrebin and his practice the highest recommendation. The crown done by Dr. Pogrebin when the entire bottom of my front tooth broke was an absolute triumph. I have had crowns done by other dentists, and nothing ever came close to this level. My periodontist, a perfectionist himself, was extremely imprssed at how natural it was. Every service I have received at Dr. Pogrebin's office--from new crowns to reattaching old ones to periodic cleanings--has been superb.

I went to Dr. Progebin after an unsuccessful first attempt at implants which was both way over budget and time. Between him and Dr. Emery they completely restored my faith in the practice of dentistry. Both were very professional in their attitudes, and the quality of their care was first rate. They were on time and what they did worked!!! The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and competent.

If you are lucky enough to see him before you deal with someone else you will not only save plenty of money and time but have great success as well..

I would like to highly recommend both Dr. Progebin and Emery to anyone and especially the problem cases!!

Treatment Length with Dr. Progebin: 18 months.

Patient Review 4:

Now that I've turned 65, I finally feel really, really alive! Thanks to the great Dr. Progebin, now where do I exactly begin?

After having the last expensive bridge work last only 6 years, I had to find the best dentist to alleviate my fears that I didn't have to do it all over again in another few years.

I looked in Checkbook Magazine for the very best dentist. That's how I found Dr. Keith Progebin, Prosthodontist, a dentist beyond par. I now have the smile of a movie star. And may I add to enleaven that I know these teeth will go with me when I go straight to heaven!

Dr. Progebin's strategic plan for my mouth all worked out and all came about. After 17 months of seeing three other dentists, getting bone implants, x-rays, a root canal, spewing buckets of drool, and dental implants, I now have beautiful, exquisite teeth which don't need to be covered by a sheath.

After 29 years of not wanting to smile, I thank God for Dr. Progebin for being the best by a mile! His team is superb, especially Wanda and Darlene. Thanks for never making me wait, therefore, never making me steam. I even liked the whole administrative staff -- even it cost me the price of a new Mercedes C-Class!

Treatment Length with Dr. Progebin: 1 year 5 months.

Patient Review 5:

I visited Dr. Progebin three times. Once for an initial consult for my somewhat complicated case, once for an emergency fix on a chipped tooth (on which he did a great job), and finally to finalize my treatment plan. Unfortunately, I have had to move away from the DC area, but am considering returning to Dr. Progebin for this treatment. I have seen 10 different dentists over the years, and Dr. Progebin did the best job of explaining to me the nature of my teeth's problems, the possible solutions, and the pros and cons of each of those solutions (including cost). He was the first dentist to make me feel comfortable with my options and confident about the process.

Treatment Length with Dr. Progebin: 1 month.

Patient Review 6:

I am a walking mouth full of problems and have been for many years, root canals, large fillings, epicoectomies, implants - you name it I have had it done. I have lived in the Washington area for over 20 years and have seen many dentists/surgeons over the past several years but I cannot more highly recommend Dr. Progebin.

Dr. Progebin is enthusiastic, professional, friendly, outgoing and conscientious in all he does. I recently had extensive procedures done with him and he had much to contend with in terms of past dental work not of his doing. I came through with teeth that are beautiful, a bite that works and teeth and gums in better shape than ever - all thanks to Dr. Progebin and his great team.

Will I ever love going to the dentist? Will I ever not fear the needle coming at me? I am getting darn close thanks to team Progebin I almost look forward to going to the dentist!

He is the best.

Treatment Length with Dr. Progebin: one year.

It's a happy office. Staff is courteous, kind, respectful, easygoing Progebin has fun at work and shares that. His work is careful. He takes all the time a patient needs, not just doing the work but to discuss it and make the patient comfortable. He is very sensitive about preventing pain -- good with a needle, and does this funny little massage maneuver to improve its efficacy. Results are excellent.

Treatment Length with Dr. Progebin: 20 years.

Dr. Progebin did an excellent job replacing my broken front tooth with an implant. He also has been my sole provider of dental health services for over 9 years -- and the quality of care always has been top-notch. In the past I have recommended Dr. Progebin to my friends and co-workers, and I am now more than happy to extend that endorsement to the users of this website!

Patient Review 10:

I have used a number of different dentists in the Washington Area over the years, but none is the equal of Dr. Progebin in skill, patient management and understanding. In my case, he functioned as the "Quarterback-in-Chief," and readily assembled all of the required dental resources, including services from other specialists, in order to return my dental situation back to complete health. He has elevated the practice of dentistry to an art form, and we are privileged to have him in Washington. After my "crown affair" is completed, I will entrust to him, and only him, the restoration of the esthetics of my smile.

Also, I would be remiss if I did not mention his staff. To a person, they are friendly, competent and accommodating. and they get the insurance paper work right!!! I fly from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, specifically to see Dr. Progebin. His staff has always been willing to juggle schedules and appointments, in order to accommodate my travel plans. The atmosphere in the office seems pleasant and collegial. In short, Dr. Progebin and his staff are consummate professionals, and the only choice to consider if one wants the absolute best in professional denistry. (Enjoy the flat screen TV in the waiting room!)

Treatment Length with Dr. Progebin: 60 days.

Dr. Progebin made three bridges to go on my original teeth and implants. His work is very close in appearance to my original teeth. Dr. Progebin and his staff are simply the greatest in every way.

Patient Review 12:

As a physician, I understand that customer service and cost are important elements but, ultimately, your health and the dental care recieved are the most important criteria in selecting a dentist. I went to an "in-network" practice and became the unfortunate victim of malpractice in the placement of a crown. I endured the pain of letting them try to fix their mistake for 3 weeks before deciding that I needed to see whoever was considered the best crown specialist (prosthodontist) in the area. I found Dr. Progebin's name on the Washingtonian 'Best Of" list and found the answer to my prayers.

It took several visits with him and 2 other specialists (which he carefully coordinated) to treat my severe gum disease and to place a high-quality crown, but Dr. Progebin and his excellent staff provided the expert care that I needed. I am forever grateful. He has been my general dentist for 3 years now (I'll never go 'in-network' again!) and his incredible dental hygienist, Denise, has done a wonderful job in maintining my dental health and is the first hygienist to really teach me what I needed to know to keep my teeth in the best condition between cleanings. Dr. Progebin's top-notch, concierge-quality practice is THE BEST!

Have been a patient for over 10 years. First rate all the way and definitely one of the best when it comes to reducing patient stress and pain during procedures.

Patient Review 14:

I've been treated by Dr. Progebin for over 10 years, since before he moved into his current luxury offices. He did a wonderful job on a cosmetic cap on my front teeth to cover an hole in the enamel from my childhood. The color match was perfect, with natural "flaws" introduced to make it impossible to detect. The work is still holding and perfect. The normal fillings and treatment are pain-free and routine.

The office is run like a finely tuned machine, with pleasant and professional staff. I love my hygenist, who aside from giving my teeth and gums a solid workover, doesn't make me feel guilty about my flossing shortcomings! Dr. Progebin is always upbeat and friendly, and personally involved in each of my checkups.

The office is beautiful. You can watch television while having your work done, which I choose not to do most of the time. The waiting room has a plasma TV showing news, free water, and a pleasant, stress free feeling. They don't take insurance, but always print out insurance forms for submittal to your carrier.

Visit and try it. You won't be disappointed.

Dr. Progebin (Keith) is a dedicated professional and sensitive to his patients' situations. I've had crowns and general dentistry work done. He performs at the highest level. I have been a patient of Keith's for nearly 10 years; he is a friend -- tell me how many patients can say they enjoy going to their dentist? He is the absolute best!

Dr. Progebin is very knowledgeable and honest. I had many dental problems when a friend recommended him. Dr. Progebin took the time to setup a treatment plan detailing the work and the order in which he will be performing it, as well as the costs associated with each treatment. He mailed it to me before I came for a visit and then explained everything in person. I thought that was very professional and showed his organizational skills to achieve the best result.

The result of his work is phenomenal. His staff is professional and the office is welcoming and nice.

If you are a discriminating patient demanding the best doctor and the best environment, then Dr. Progebin is the right person for you.

I cannot offer a higher recommendation. Dr. Progebin is a world-class prosthodontist, well-respected by his peers, and a man of high integrity. Five years ago, at age 31, Keith assembled a team to extract a failing front tooth (Dr. Shefferman) on which I had had a root canal 10 years earlier, impant a titanium rod (Dr. Emery), and fashion a crown (Dr. Progebin) for my upper front tooth. The 8-month process was a great cosmetic success and is as structurally sound as the original tooth. Progebin's is a high touch practice and he will provide you with the same care, attention, and results he would demand for his own children. [Thank You]

Patient Review 18:

Dr. Progebin is a "miracle worker." I was 56 years old when he started my implant procedures, after having worn full dentures for 39 years. My upper and lower mandibles had eroded so much that bone grafts were required. After that was completed by an oral surgeon, Dr. Progebin had the knowledge, skill and esthetic judgement to place my implants so that my teeth and bite were in the right place in my face (all bony "landmarks" had long since eroded). So, what was the outcome? TOTAL, COMPLETE SUCCESS!!!

On Dr. Progebin's advice, I selected the top of the line dentures that fitted metal to metal, with locks that I can easily open and close to allow cleaning. Now, after 40 years, I had a real bite again. For example, apples are no problem. Now that my implants have been in place nearly 10 years, Dr. Progebin has continued my care with monitoring, cleaning and an occassional minor adjustment. It is very clear that my dental situation is stable. Fortunately, I am older that Dr. Progrebin, so I do not have to worry about his retirement.

If you have a complex dental problem, Dr. Progebin can do he nearly impossible. I am still amazed at my good furtune in finding him. His staff and office are excellent, also.

Dr. Progebin was recommended by the 'best of the best'. I have not been disappointed in any way. Keith and staff are totally professional and practice sound, modern dentistry. In addition, they are concerned, polite and patient people. If you are looking for top-notch results and a pleasant experience, search no further. I have no reservations in recommending Dr. Progebin.

Dr Progebin offers an amazing level of skill in the field of cosmetic dentistry, and his attention to detail and general care is highly recommended. I was very impressed with Dr Progebin's experience and knowledge, refined over many years of teaching and practice, all delivered with a very pleasant 'bed-side' manner. I have come in contact with many dentistry professionals over the years, both in the USA and Europe, and Dr Progebin is easily the most proficient (and friendliest) I have met. All in all, an excellent experience.
