Washington Prosthodontist Reviews: Dr. Keith Progebin, DDS. Dr. Progebin Prosthodontist, 20036. 07 November 2009

Patient Review 1:

Dr. Progebin is a dentist's dentist. I know because I am a dentist and have been seeking care at Dr. Progebin's office since my retirement from active duty in 2007. His office is state-of-the-art, his treatment approach is realistic, he stays current with new and innovative treatment procedures and materials, his technique is as good as mine (exceptional) and he is a great guy. He and his staff will put you at ease and you can rest assured that you are getting the best treatment and esthetics available.

About Hygienist: The hygienists are excellent - very thorough. They will do everything they can to make the experience a good one - and your teeth will sparkle.

Treatment Length with Dr. Progebin: 3 years.

Patient Review 3:

I came to Dr. Progebin's office after years of dental issues. Dr. Progebin gave me a great plan highlighting what should be done, refered work to specialists when need be and assembled a team that was able to address all my issues- several root canals redone, crowns, one implant later, I can now say for the first time "my teeth are healthy!" What a relief! I cannot say how I happy I am.

The office staff is also first rate- everyone is polite, smiling and a joy to be around.

Another added bonus, Dr. Progebin is ALWAYS on time. I have never waited for him- that is a huge plus for busy professionals.

About Hygienist: Hygienist Denise is WONDERFUL. She is detailed-oriented and does a great job.

Treatment Length with Dr. Progebin: about 2 years.

Patient Review 4:

For years I have had issues with my teeth, having received a hairline fracture in my left jaw through a car accident when I was 18. As a result, every tooth on the upper and lower left side of my jaw has had a root canal and crown (at the minimum) up to an implant or bridge. Countless procedures and a myriad of issues left me distrusting and skeptical of most dentists. When I was ultimately referred to Dr. Progebin, he became the first person to integrate all of my dental care. He has performed and prescribed a number of treatments for me (listed above) and as a result I have enjoyed a relatively pain-free past couple of years. His skill and knowledge are exceptional. I would (and have) ranked him top rate. His demeanor, manner and attitude, most appreciated (especially recently as he took my current employment status into consideration with his billing). His staff, from receptionist, to accountant, to assistants are all friendly, knowledgeable and extremely professional. I would recommend them all to anyone. I appreciate receiving such good care.

About Hygienist: Both hygienists at Dr. Progebin's office are top quality. Their skills combined with their gentle touch (not to mention the DVD's one may watch while the cleaning is taking place!) make for what could be a stressful situation, manageable!

Treatment Length with Dr. Progebin: 5-6 years or more.

Dr. Progebin completely rebuilt my top teeth. Had several implants and major, major reconstruction. It looks fantastic. Facilities are great, especially with lab in the office is quite helpful when he was to give feedback to the "artist" that makes the teeth. Staff is friendly. I would highly recommend Dr. Progebin. I now live in Florida and fly in several times a year to have my teeth cleaned & checked by him. Do not trust anyone else with his masterpiece. It was expensive but considering the work done and the fabulous results well worth it. Movie star teeth. Signed LH

Patient Review 6:

Having lost several teeth in childhood, I arrived in Dr Progebin's office early in his career. He did the best he could to maintain a mouth with failing teeth and poorly fitting bridge work. When the bridgework failed, Dr Progebin helped me through a temporary solution until I felt the time was right for implants. I had bone taken from my hip and added to my jaw, then had 8 post implanted.

I am now 7 years post-implant and so far, I have not had any problems. The looks and bite of the teeth added trememdous value to my life.

Through it all, Dr. Progebin and his staff were wonderful.

Patient Review 7:

Keith Progebin has been my dentist for 20 years. During that time he has always provided the best possible professional care, including implants, crowns, bridges etc. I inherited terrible teeth and didn't take good care of them. Were it not for Dr. P I'm sure I would be toothless today. He is not only a good doctor, he is a gifted craftsman, indeed an artist of restoration and cosmetic dentistry. Keith has performed services above and beyond any standard of excellent care including taking care of dental emergencies while I was serving overseas, and replacing and repairing dental work mangled by foreign practicioners. In addition to his outstanding professional competence, Dr. Progebin has always been extremely empathetic, solicitous, personable, and supportive. His staff, hygenists, assistants, office folks etc. have always been, efficient, competent, and friendly. In short I would recommend Dr. Progebin most highly to anyone wishing the best possible dental service.

Patient Review 8:

Dr. Progebin is really terrific. He diagnosed my condition quickly and efficiently, which was a vertical fracture of a tooth. He described several options. I chose an implant and crown. He suggested a periodontist to do the implant. He made and fit a temporary crown to cover extracted tooth and coordinated well with the periodontist. I am totally happy with every aspect of my treatment from Dr. Progebin from overall attitude to treatment explanation and execution. I look forward to completing the work.

About Hygienist: The office staff was excellent.

Facilities are top notch. TV, magazines and bottled water in the waiting area. You can watch DVDs of your favorite show while in the chair.

Service is excellent. Dr. Progebin, the hygenists and the administrative staff are all upbeat, willing to answer any questions and explain what is going on.

I haven't had a cavity in the 15 years I have been going there. We did an implant that is a complete success.

He is a bit pricey, but not any more than any other grade "A" dentist in downtown DC. But if you find another dentist and want to save a few dollars, be my guest. If necessary, I'd rather skip a couple of trips to Starbucks, or brown bag it to work once or twice, and get the superb dental care.

Patient Review 10:

The GOOD

Great reputation for high quality.

Fit me in next day when I broke a tooth and was in pain.

Usually calls that evening after a filling.

Maintains a lab in the back.

Usually on-time.

Upscale offices.

Added DVD player with headphones to distract patients (or bring your own MP3 player as I used to).

The NOT SO GOOD

Very expensive. Almost always way over so-called reasonable and customary.

Does not accept insurance but provides form to submit.

After I purchased teeth whitening trays (very expensive), he commented next time on my teeth being a couple of shades lighter BUT I had not used it yet.

The BAD

He erred by leaving a filling too high and did not ackowledge his error. When the anesthetic wore off after receiving a new filling, I could not close my mouth comfortably. I could feel the new filling hitting the opposing tooth/filling. Later that evening I broke the opposing tooth/filling. When I spoke to him about this he said the upper filling was not the problem; the problem was that the lower filling was old and weak.

About Hygienist: One is great. One is just fine. One was a bit rough. One was a trainee and I felt it.

Treatment Length with Dr. Progebin: 5+ years.

Patient Review 11:

I had tried one dentist after moving to the Washinton area. After his staff mixed up my chart, had major problems taking x-rays, and miscoded my teeth while cleaning, I was somewhat skeptical at meeting the doctor. Although he was pleasant and competent enough, he didn't seem to understand my concern for a particular tooth problem. When my problem turned into an emergency, I found Dr. Progebin through Dr. Oogle. The reviews convinced me to try him, and I was very pleased that I did.

The office was clean, bright, and the staff was efficient. Dr. Progebin was upbeat, very skilled, and willing to listen to my concerns. He diagnosed my problem right away and made appointments for me with the specialists I needed. He recommended an excellent oral surgeon who was able to get me in quickly. Dr. Progebin then created temporary and permanent crowns for me; both felt just as natural as my other teeth.

The best part of my care here was that I was able to trust Dr. Progebin's knowledge, skill, and dedication to doing a job completely and correctly the first time. His reassurance and explanations before and during procedures alleviated my usual worries about the quality of care.

About Hygienist: Having moved a lot before settling in the area, I had skipped having my teeth cleaned for a while. The hygienists at this office were great. They were thorough but efficient. Didn't criticize but explained and encouraged better cleaning techniques. Also, the rooms are bright and cheerful.

Treatment Length with Dr. Progebin: 1 year and 4 months.

Patient Review 12:

I was referred to Dr. Progebin by a friend after I realized I had prolonged dental work for far to long not having had a dentist since relocating to DC. A simple cavity turned out to be quite a complicated case with a root canal and crown. Dr. Progebin was an excellent practitioner throughout my many subsequent visits and I plan to make his office my "dental home" for years to come. He is extremely personable and created a very inviting atmosphere for me as a new patient. The agenda was patient driven and he did not push unnecessary procedures on me as others had done in the past. Especially considering my status as a student, Dr. Progebin was extremely understanding and candid, revealing what work was necessary and the timeline it should be completed within. He went to great lengths to accommodate me and make his procedures something I could afford.

He is beyond knowledgeable and certainly an expert not only in the DC area but nationally and internationally. As a future physician, I have trained extensively in how to effectively create the ideal doctor-patient relationship and I can say without reservation that he embodies all the qualities of the model health practitioner. He, along with his work, is just great!

Patient Review 13:

I came to Dr. Progebin some 15 years ago with a great many old, large fillings. Over the years, a few of these teeth have fractured or broken. The office has always accomodated emergency visits for temporary crowns. The most recent broken tooth was quite jagged and irritated my tongue. The fit and smoothness of the temporary crown were so well executed that I was never aware of it.

I have always appreciated Dr. Proebin's careful explanations of different options and the procedures he recommended. Although he does not participate in insurance plans, he explains the costs of each treatment and I have always felt that I was paying for excellent dental work.

About Hygienist: I'm very grateful for Denise's care; in addition to my general dental maintenance, she rescued my gums.

Patient Review 14:

I came to Dr. Progebin after one of my teeth turned yellow from a poorly done root canal. I had been seeing an endodontist who tried to bleach my teeth, however, when we had no success with that, he referred me to Dr. Progebin. My endodontist was afraid I woudln't even be able to hold a crown on the tooth because it was left so weak from my root canal, however, he assured me that if anyone could do it and match the color to my other teeth, it would be Dr. Progebin. I just received my permanent crown and it looks exactly like my other teeth. I have shown my friends and family and they can't even tell which is the fake tooth. I will be coming back to him in the future for teeth cleaning and future problems as well as referring him to everyone I know.

About Hygienist: I have had a few of the hygienists for teeth cleanings as well as help with my crown. They are all wonderful! I have never had such thorough cleanings in my life!

Patient Review 16:

I have very complicated teeth... lots of implants, root canals and crowns. Until I became Dr. Progebin's patient, for years I had dental problems, aches all around my teeth, bad bites, etc. Within one year, Dr. Progebin identified all my problems. And under his management and treatment, I had 3 additional implants, a new 4-tooth bridge and several crown work. Unfortunately, some of these work entailed redoing the dental work that was done just 2 years ago by different dentist. I wish I knew Dr. Progebin earlier so that I didn't have to waste a lot of money. I now have well balanced bites, I don't wake up in the morning with aches all around my teeth, and my mouth has never felt this good for years. I think he is the best dentist I ever had and I am very grateful for his help and knowledge. In addition, Dr. Progebin is a very caring and cheerful person and he explains everything he does which makes me feel really comfortable. Dr. Progebin is an extremely knowledgeable, experienced and wonderful dentist.

About Hygienist: All of the hygiensits I had at Dr. Progebin's office have been very thorough and excellent.

Patient Review 17:

Dr. Progebin is an absolute perfectionist! He is driven to be the best, to know more and to benefit his patients from this knowledge. He loves his specialty. Professionally he is meticulous and holds himself to the highest standards. He listens to what you want to achieve with your smile and then quietly advises you on what the options are while keeping in mind the best pathways to good dental health. He also makes the procedures as pain free as possible. When there is discomfort , he stops and is compassionate. He never makes you feel foolish about being frightened and in pain. He remembers who you are and what your work is all about. His manner of working with his staff is also courteous and appreciative. This is a telling point as I have been in some so- called superstar dentists in the DC/Maryland area who are arrogant and imperious with their staff and even with some of their patients. Dr. Progebin's referrals to other colleagues such as Dr. Ribera and Dr. Schneider have been excellent because Dr. P cares to make the best possible professional choices for you all the way. He cares. His office staff, including his wife Chris, another Chris and Geneiviev all contribute to a feeling of being well cared for.

I got a maryland bridge from him when I was 14 or so, and I'm almost 30 - and its still in perfect shape. He also filled a lot of cavities growing up (I wasnt the best tooth brusher) And now, he always compliments me when I have no cavitites - a great motivation to keep up the good dental hygien

About Hygienist: The hygenists are all awsome. Bonus: you can watch TV shows while they clean your teeth. Its just great there.

Patient Review 19:

I had a very complicated course of treatment requiring orthodontia, gum work, and jaw surgery before Dr. P began my crown work. He was involved during the entire process, working with the other specialists to assure the best result. So far, he has crowned my six top front teeth and my entire lower arch in stages. He is an absolute perfectionist, not settling for less than a perfect fit, superb color, natural look of the teeth, and my 100% complete satisfaction. His technique is spot-on, and he teaches and lectures extensively to other practitioners. His front office and dental office staff are the best around. I always have adequate anesthesia and post-visit pain relief. His charges are high, but are on par with a high-end downtown dental office, and the "best of the best," a category he easily falls into. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Dr. Progebin was recommended to me because an old bridge failed and my usual dentist thought that I needed more specialized dental work. Dr. Progebin essentially designed a full lower-teeth bridge, which included 4 implants (done by a colleague of his). It was a wonderful job. Recently, he did the same treatment on most of the upper teeth after crowns began failing. He and a colleague reshaped the upper gums, then Progebin build a new bridge incorporating the roots and stumps of the original teeth. I am entirely satisfied with the final result.

Patient Review 21:

Dr. Progebin is an incredible doctor. He was recommended to me after someone called me "very picky" about my doctors. I went to 3 dentists in the DC area with little success before I met Dr. Progebin. He is thorough, patient, highly skilled, and lights up the room when he enters. As I sit in the chair and watch my favorite sitcom on his video screen, I hardly remember I'm at the dentist.

He performed my implant after two other doctors failed - before I saw Dr. Progebin, my jaw bone was wearing away from a faulty implant. He fixed the problem and I have had no loosening since - that was 16 years ago!

He's the best and I would never go to anyone else.

About Hygienist: Dr. Progebin's office staff have the same cheerful disposition as does he - very friendly and always helpful. Denise is a doll as she sweetly but firmly tells me to floss more. My teeth shine when I walk out the door.

Wonderful chair-side manner. Thoroughly explains what the problems are and offers various plans to remedy them. Does not pressure to undergo a complete makeover, but lets patient decide when, and if, to pursue the various options. The billing and appointment procedures are top-notch and have not had any problems with the insurance submissions. If questions do arise, they are very prompt in addressing them.

About Hygienist: The hygienists I have had are also first-rate and very thorough as well as being very pleasant to deal with.

Patient Review 23:

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.

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!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Patient Review 34:

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.

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]

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 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.

Dr. Progebin is an excellent dentist -- and he really cares about his patients!!!

I am having complete reconstructive work. He is an excellent

technician, kind, caring, funny - makes sure you are comfortable in terms of not having any pain. I actually don't mind going to Dr. Progebin -- I have no anxiety. In addition to his excellent work -- he cares -- I used to be a great procrastinator and it has cost me losing teeth in the past because other dentists did not

follow up and left it to me. Dr. P really cares -- he follows up constantly and makes sure my teeth are not in any danger of

being lost. What more can you ask for? I wish I had found him sooner!

If you are in the DC area and have dental problems, Dr. Progebin is the only way to go, case closed. Going to Dr. Progebin after seeing other dentists is like flying first class after a lifetime of flying coach. His work is impeccable, his knowledge of the latest technology is peerless, his staff is wonderful, his office is stylish, and his demeanor is perfect for the anxious patient. Before he went to work on my mouth, we actually had an appointment devoted solely to talking about the game plan. Can you imagine that--a doctor who actually makes time to TALK to you? He's the best.

Keith LOVES what he does and that's the secret to his exceptional talent and skill. I've gone to him for years and couldn't be happier. He did a front implant that is better than the original tooth; it is indistinguishable from the natural teeth surrounding it. He's also done two crowns. His work is simply the best. He is a perfectionist, who keeps at it until he's completely satisfied with the outcome. He's called me at home over the weekend, to be sure that I was in no discomfort from a procedure--I wasn't. I almost look forward to an appointment so I can visit with Keith. He takes a sincere, personal interest in his patients. His staff has always been exceptionally helpful. The office is very pleasant and fashionable. You can even watch your favorite TV show during a cleaning--I recommend a drama rather than a comedy because its hard to laugh while the technician is scraping. Bottom line is that not only can't you go wrong, you just can't do any better at any price than Keith.

I have been a patient of Dr. Progebin's for five years now.I have had extensive work that involved an overdenture and individual crowns. The whole process took over two years to complete and Keith provided all the support and understanding necessary to see this process through....He undersands the fears, doubts and anxieties that can occur during this transition, and did everything he could to accomodate my wife and I. He's a very special man , in addition to being the very best .....trust me.

I have been going to Dr. Progebin for 15 years. He is the cream of the crop of dentists -- a dentist's dentist -- and more importantly, a good person. His work is impeccable and he will make sure you are extremely comfortable. His hygienists are excellent, very pleasant and thorough. I have referred many people to him over the years and every one has become a regular patient.

Other people have remarked that he is expensive, but he is not that much more expensive, if at all, on a procedure basis than other run-of-the-mill dentists (dental care is just expensive). If you aren't concerned with the best care, you can save a couple of dollars. In the long-run, however, a talented dentist can save you money (and teeth) by using less extreme treatments. I believe Dr. Progebin has saved me thousands over the years.

Dr. Progebin is the best Dentist ever!

I have been searching for someone like Dr. Progebin since I was seventeen years old. I was sent to him by the greatest Endodontist ,Dr Paula Russo.

Along with Dr Georganne Apgar, Periodontist, these Artist are the 'Hope Diamond' of the Dentistry world.

I wasn't ready for dentures, so you bite the bullet (.not the docs finger ) and take out a loan. You want the best, you now got the best. It 's about your health, not the money.

A year later, (afer thirteen root canals, (no pain) ;gum surgery (some discomfort during healing) and many hours looking into the Docs magnifying eyeglasses, I now have the most natural looking teeth. From the now healthy foundation to the procelain smile, they worked their magic. They have a passion for what they do. And it comes thru. I now love to smile and make other people smile.

I used to have a recurring dream where my teeth fall out in tiny pellets. I haven't had that dream since. Some would call it a nightmare.

As for the office assistants and his hygienists, they are their right hand. To me, they are my new family. I recently moved to Florida, but I still travel 4 times a year to see these dentists.

That's how wonderful they are.

In the past year, Dr Probegin has put two crowns in my mouth. I can honestly say, he makes visiting the dentist fun. He also does an excellent job. I have never met someone so enthusiastic about teeth! His concern and enthusiasm result in top quality service and making what could be an unpleasant experience really very comfortable and pleasant. I have been living in downtown Washington DC for over 18 years...tried several dentists...he is definitely THE BEST!

I searched high and low for the best dentist in the city, and Dr. Progebin is it! He was able to salvage a tooth that another dentist had nearly destroyed and the crown he made for me passes for my own tooth. His office staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, I am never kept waiting, and the hygenists are stellar as well. Look no further - Dr Progebin is the only dentist or prostodontist you'll ever need.

Extremely attentive to detail. I had a front tooth knocked out in a soccer accident. Prior to Dr. Progebin's crown, the color was always a little off. He took great pains to match the texture, scale, etc. The surrounding veneers were made to look natural by imparting such details as grooves. I found Dr. Progebin very easy to work with; his approach is similar to that of a Bespoke Tailor. His work underscores the fine-line between excellence and perfection--perfect teeth look like dentures; real teeth look like a fine handmade suit. I don't fully understand why cost is even a component of this survey. I wouldn't accept any amount of money for someone to insert faux looking teeth; much less, pay someone to do so. This is as much art as science. How do you put a price on your smile?

I was referred to Dr. Progebin for a tricky tooth crack I had in a molar by my regular dentist over 10 years ago. It was a mistake on my dentist's part because I never went back to her. He is by far the best dentist I've ever been to -- and I've had a lot of work done over the years with various dentists. Yes, his prices are high. But you really do get what you pay for. The quality of his work is exemplary and he will never talk you into a procedure you may want that he thinks you don't need. Staff is great. Facility is great. It's the only medical office I have ever been to where they are waiting for you when you arrive. I've never had to wait more than a few minutes. He's also a pal. He will ask in all sincerity how you're doing and he really wants to know.
