Stanley J Farnum DDS

"Great dentist. Dr. Farnum is skilled and kind, and his work has a unique approach. His assistant, Cecelia, is really great, caring, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. I highly recommend this dentist."

"I just had the most amazing experience with two amazing people Dr Farnum and Cecilia . I will be coming back for treatment and a cleaning and their office is almost an hour away from my home!"

"What a gift, to find Dr. Farnum and his brilliant assistant, Cecelia. It's rare to see this level of experience, skill, commitment and mastery anywhere. I've needed many repairs the past few years and Dr. Farnum has approached each one with care and artistry, preserving my teeth and health with minimal impact and beautiful results. I only wish I'd met this dream dental-team 30 years ago!"

"Dr. Farnum removed all the silver fillings in my husband’s molars in January 2020. I believe it amounted to about 8 molars. Of those molars, there were about 3 crowns that that had to be removed in order to remove the silver fillers below the crowns. Dr. Farnum removed all of them in one day and gave my husband all new gold fillings the following week after the gold molds were made. My husband is in his 70’s, and it worried me to even consider how traumatized he might be if all eight teeth were worked on the same day. It was agreed upon that Dr. Farnum would stop at any point if it became too overwhelming for my husband. Well, not only was the procedure done painlessly, he ate dinner the same as any normal night, and felt absolutely no discomfort. The next week’s procedure was the same; gold moldings were all inserted without incident, and we were happy he was a brand new man with no more worries about mercury poisoning from silver fillings. Because Dr. Farnum is a biological dentist, silver removal is done carefully to protect the patient and the dental team from mercury poisoning. That was, in itself, a great relief to us. After my husband, two weeks later it was my turn. I was actually jealous that my husband’s procedure was done. I am no cry-baby, but I have not enjoyed going to the dentist. I went in with Dr. Farnum’s understanding that I, too, would have him stop at any point if the silver removal of five molars was too traumatizing. After having him talk to me before the procedure, I was very comforted. This was the most painless experience I have ever had in a dental office. Dr. Farnum was so gentle, I could not even feel the needle of anesthesia being injected into my flesh ….. and I had four injections. I thought for sure the anesthesia would not take because I could not feel the injection with the meds going in. But, I was numb as ever. You guessed it, I had all five molars worked on, and I felt such a sense of relief that the poisonous mercury was gone and that the procedure was completed without any pain whatsoever. I was so happy, and so grateful to Dr. Farnum for his expertise. Not only is he a skillful dentist, he took so much time to inform us of the procedure, gave us so much information about the harmful effects of mercury/silver fillings and composites that are taking the place of silver fillings. Composites are better than silver, but it still leeches into your body causing you to have to deal with yet another toxin. Gold on the other hand is harmless since it is inert. Gold also adheres to our enamel much better and does not shrink or expand. Dr. Farnum has had patients in their 80’s with the same gold fillings they had since elementary school. Silver expands 7% causing cracked teeth, leading to bacterial infections, which in turn leads to root canals and/or crowns. I always thought gold fillings would be too expensive, but now I see that it is cheaper in the long run because you can better avoid going through expensive procedures like crowns (which I have had five done recently before I knew of Dr. Farnum) or root canals. Dr. Farnum tries his best to avoid crowning a tooth. Of all the teeth he had to work on with me, he managed to avoid crowning any of my molars, for which I am MOST grateful! Dr. Farnum is not only our dentist, but he has become a trusted friend for us, and we have only known him for three months. He is kind, caring, gentle, and knowledgeable. He truly gives of himself to his patients and to his profession. His assistant, Cecelia, and his wife, Mary Kay, truly add in making this dental practice a warm, friendly, and welcoming place to go for dental work. You know how difficult it is to step into a dental office. Well, you won’t ever have those feelings anymore if you visited Dr. Farnum. We wished we found out about him decades ago."

"Dr Farnum does phenomenal work! I have been visiting Dr Farnum since I was a little girl, and it has been about 20 years. His quality of work is top notch and precise. He truly cares for his patients. Mary Kay, who assists with the scheduling as well as his assistant, Cecilia, are also both so friendly and wonderful! Highly recommend."
