Get to know Dentist Dr. Robert L. Baker, who serves the population of Greenup, Kentucky.
Dr. Baker is a dentist currently practicing with his private practice. He has graduated with his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry Degree.
He graduated with his dental degree from the University Of Kentucky College Of Medicine in 1977, giving him over four decades of experience. To earn a Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry Degree, students generally need a four-year undergraduate education. Afterward, they go to dental school for another four years of educational, clinical and dental laboratory training. After graduating with a Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry Degree, dentists have to pass rigorous examinations. In the United States, dentists must pass the National Board Dental Examinations, which is a national written exam. They also have to pass a state exam to be licensed to practice there. With such extensive education and examination requirements, patients can rest assured that any dentist with a Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry Degree is well qualified.
General dentists provide a wide array of services that are vital to patients’ continued health. These services include preventive services, including helping to maintain good oral health by stopping disease before it takes hold in the mouth; restorative services, such as receiving timely and appropriate treatment when a problem is identified; as well as cosmetic services, including performing a range of cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, and even porcelain veneers. General dentists also address overall health concerns as oral health is seen as the mirror of general health. In fact, some dental problems may reflect issues in other parts of the body and vice versa.
Due to his expertise, he earned his Patients’ Choice Award in 2015 and 2018. His patients have excellent experiences with him, one stating, “Takes his time and listens. He reads body language very well and can tell if you are uncomfortable.” Another stated, “So gentle, and took his time! He knew I was in a lot of pain and he actually listened!”
