I had a crown done as a result of a filling that just had kinda gotten to the point where it needed to be, you know, treated in a different way. And the first crown I had, I remember, you know, it failed at one point. I was eating probably something I shouldn’t have, maybe caramel or chocolate or something like that. And I remember the crown coming out. And that happened on a weekend. And it was right around Christmas, it was really close to the holidays. And I gave Dr. Schope a call. And she dropped everything. We met on the weekend. She came in and did a temporary just to kinda get me through. And then this is where Dr. Schope’s commitment to new technologies and new solutions really came in where she was willing to try a different, you know, treatment plan for me instead of just a traditional crown, use a new treatment plan where they milled, you know, a single piece that kinda match the surface of my tooth. And that’s been a fantastic outcome for me ever since. You know, if you’re expecting the same outcome as you’ve received from maybe traditional dentist or someone that you’ve worked with in the past, maybe set that expectation or assumption aside and give Dr. Schope and the team a chance to talk with you about what they can do, right, what makes the most sense for you. And don’t be surprised when they come up with, you know, maybe a creative solution, one that you haven’t heard before, but one that, nonetheless, is gonna work great for you.

So, I like this practice because it’s very patient-focused. I think since I started coming here, which is when Dr. Schope opened her practice, it was very clear that it was always patient first, care, comfort, you know, degree of say or input you had over the outcomes, you know, that they focused on for you and your health was always paramount to them, and it just makes you feel good about coming to the dentist. Everyone here knows you when you come in. It’s like you’re a part of their extended family.
You can tell that they know who’s coming in for that day. They’ve prepared for what your health history is, or your treatment plan, or even, like, anxieties or preferences that you have when you’re here visiting, and they take that kinda stuff really seriously. So, it just feels, like I said, like family when you come. Very friendly. I mean, light touch, you know, always I think helpful for a dentist. But what I’ve always been impressed about Dr. Schope is that she’s always focused on not just patients and patient outcomes, but also being able to treat patients with cutting-edge technology, right, and being able to kind of further herself.
She seems to be or strikes me as kind of that lifelong learner, and somebody who’s always challenging herself to do things better or different, again, all in service of patients and patient outcomes. With a lot of care professionals, sometimes it’s just straight to treatment. Right? And there’s not a lot of care towards getting to know you, both as a person and as a patient, right, your previous health history, you know, what some of the outcomes or goals that you’re looking for. So, I think they take the time to get to know you, and I think that’s a really important way to start a relationship with a medical professional.

It’s important to me that I am going to take these teeth with me for the rest of my life. At 72 I could live another 20 or 25 years and I’m happy that I’m taking these with me. I have a senior friend who said, “Oh my teeth are okay. They function, what the heck.” And I told her not to settle. It’s never too late. Get the smile you want and take it with you to the end. Get the smile you want and get a dentist that you can be confident in and comfortable with. And I wouldn’t move from Dr. Jo for anything in the world.

Well, it’s comfortable. I feel very at ease here. Before the front door shuts behind you, somebody’s greeting you by name, first name, welcome you in. It’s just comfortable. They have all the spa features if you have a lot of treatment with the, you know, TV and movies and headphones and a neck wrap and they handle everything. It’s just a very relaxing, comfortable environment. Dr. Jo, she’s so skilled and such an excellent dentist and a wonderful human being and, of course, that would be primary, that you’re coming to a dentist with the right skills.
I’ve been coming to her for many, many years and I’ve had three referrals during those years, one to a prosthodontist for some gum recession, and to an endodontist for a root canal issue. And I’m currently wearing Invisaligns, going to an orthodontist that she has referred me to because as we get older, our teeth shift, the bottom teeth often. We wanna deal with that right up front and handle that. So I appreciate the fact that she has a team that is now my team that we’re all in this together for my long-term health. So when she gives you referrals, it’s not like you get a piece of paper and go out the door and catch up with her six months later. She contacts that specialist personally. So, when I walk in the door of that specialist’s office, the endodontist, the prosthodontist, the orthodontist, they know me already and they know what my goals are and I have formed a plan with Dr. Jo and now I have this whole team and she’s my team leader. I love that.

Yeah, my sisters and both my parents have seen Dr. Schope for years. I met my husband in high school, and we made the connection that we had both seen Dr. Schope. And I told my mother-in-law that I went to Dr. Schope, and she was so sad because she had to leave for insurance reasons, and she was like, “Oh, I love Dr. Schope.” It’s basically just this family dentist, like, really, truly me and my husband as kids went here separately. We both just had such positive experiences, and our families did, too. And so, I don’t know anything different, but I really don’t care to. Like, I can’t really imagine a better dental experience. So, if you and your family are looking for a place where you can get quality dental care, and where you can meet a staff that really cares about you as people and cares about your dental health, I couldn’t recommend Dr. Schope and her team more.

So Dr. Schope’s office has always been an office that I always feel comfortable coming to as far as the dentist. I really never had any issues before then, but when I come here, I feel pretty much right at home, but I know that I’ll be taken care of.
Throughout the years, they have really treated me well as far as my appointments or any work that needs to be done. They welcome me, call me by my first name, and they make sure that when I get here, make sure I’m very comfortable, because I could understand, you know, a lot of patients sometime are hesitant in coming to a dentist. But for me, I know that I’ll be taken care of once I come to the office. So I would have to say the one word that comes to mind for me for Dr. Schope’s office, they provide really good comfort for me, and I feel right at home when I get here.

So, my understanding is the oldest teeth in your mouth are your six-year molars. They start to crack after a while. So, Dr. Schope explained to me exactly what was wrong with the tooth. I’d never had a crown before, but she explained why, you know, your baby molars crack and, you know, the life of them is finite, and explained exactly what had to be done and the best least invasive way to do it. Her philosophy with your teeth is to preserve whatever of your natural teeth you can, and so, ergo, you will keep them as long as you can.
My first experience, again, is she explained all that, explained how the crown would go over top. She even had pictures. I think she even had a model. Then, they’re able to make the crown exactly like your old tooth, and I could not have been happier. Don’t worry about it. Don’t hesitate. Just put your trust in them. Go in there, and get it done. And the sooner you get it done, the happier you will be.

I would say the quality of care here is superlative, I would not be here otherwise. It’s a very friendly practice, and I really like Dr. Schope. She loves cutting-edge technology. One of the things I learned, I had got my very first crown here, is that she can actually make the crown in the office so that you don’t have to get a temporary, and then walk around with this temporary thing. You can do it all in one shot. She’s always on top of dental issues, she’s obviously reading journals, and going to conferences, and so forth. When something new happens, you know, you can always count on hearing about it, which I really wanna know. I wanna know how can I keep these teeth my entire life? I wanna… These are my adult teeth, I got them in my teens, that was some 50 years ago. So I’d like to keep them and I’d like to keep them nice. And, you know, it’s the first thing people see when they see you. And Dr. Schope really cares about that. She made a mold of my mouth and she actually kind of worked…worked it around, and so forth to see where little imperfections were. So she’s really a perfectionist. So at Schope Dental, you can expect professionalism, clean teeth, kindness, caring, and the absolute cutting-edge technology in dentistry.

This is a very comfortable place to be and to come and get your teeth done. Very nice staff, very professional. I’m never worried about anything they’re gonna do with my teeth. I know that they’ll always do the most professional. They have my teeth in mind. I’m pretty fussy about my teeth, and my appearance, and so forth. And, especially as you get older, things start to happen. You really need to take even better care of your teeth, I think, as you get older.
She really cares about you as a patient. She cares about the whole family, always asking about my husband, my daughters. She’s just a really kind, and smart, and professional person. My entire family comes here, my husband, our three daughters. We have a lot of teeth between the five of us, so really happy to come see Dr. Schope.
