Richard D. Gilmore DMD

I dreamt of becoming a dentist as a young boy. Through a family friend, I was introduced to dentistry and I knew from that moment it was what I wanted to pursue.

My undergraduate studies were completed at Washington State University and Graduate studies at Tufts University in Boston, MA.

I’m very blessed to have a beautiful wife and enjoy living and working in Central Oregon.

Our family recently expanded! We now have an incredibly beautiful 16 year old (driving!!) and decided to start over with an absolutely darling baby girl who came to us in December 2021! We are beyond blessed.

I would love the opportunity to meet you, earn your trust, and become your long term dentist.

My philosophy is simple, to give you all the education you want and need so that you can make an informed decision about your oral health and treatment needs. Giving you all your options allows you to remain in control. I also believe in giving it to you straight. You deserve to know the truth about your oral health.

Together, we can determine what treatment is going to be best for you.

Call us today for an appointment. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.

 Richard D. Gilmore DMD

From an early age, I aspired to become a dentist. My introduction to the field came through a family friend, and it was at that moment I recognized dentistry as my true calling.

I completed my undergraduate studies at Washington State University, followed by graduate studies at Tufts University in Boston, MA.

I feel fortunate to have a wonderful wife and two daughters, and I take great pleasure in both living and working in Central Oregon.

It would be an honor to meet with you, earn your trust, and establish a long-term dental partnership.

My approach centers on transparency; I strive to provide you with comprehensive education regarding your oral health and treatment options. By presenting all available choices, I empower you to make informed decisions about your care while keeping control over your dental journey. You deserve straightforward information about your oral health status.

Together we will collaboratively determine the most suitable treatment plan for you.

Dr. Gilmore's Philosophy

Looking back to my start in 2007, I’m reminded how far my practice has come.  I wish I could say I’ve always done things perfectly.  Though it was always my intention, I have learned many things the hard way.  Signing on with insurance companies reduced my ability to provide the care to my patients I had visualized I would.  The practice was large and busy, which would appear successful, though it wasn’t successful in the way I had envisioned it.  Giving individual care and creating a partnership with patients is very difficult in an insurance driven practice where you are forced to reduce fees 30-50%.  You need to move more patients through your practice to make up the difference.  Patients have mentioned they felt like cattle at their previous dentist.  I didn’t want my patients to feel that way but I felt trapped and didn’t know how to get out of “the rat race”.  I wanted something more for my patients.

Dental benefits are important to my patients and I want to help them maximize those benefits.  However, it is not insurance, it does not cover you like your home, auto or medical.  I firmly believe that dental benefits put undo tension between provider and patient. Benefits should never dictate your health. Dental carriers are in the business of collecting premiums and paying out the minimum.

COVID allowed me to take a step back, evaluate my practice, to say now is the time to implement the vision I’ve always had.  A vision that puts patients and the care I give them priority over accepting insurance benefits.  This may seem like a contradiction, when in fact, it enables me to extend quality time with my patients, offering them an exceptional experience, one they say they’ve never had in a dental office before.  If you read our Google reviews, patients are stating just that!  It is very exciting for me to see this vision come to fruition.  

If you’re looking for a different experience, let me show you how you can be an integral part of your own health and see how a doctor-patient relationship can be.  You are worth it.

Call us today for an appointment. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.

Warren W.

As posted previously my husband (Warren) and I have been going to Gilmore Dental (Dr. Gilmore) since moving to central Oregon 8 years ago. I had my semi annual cleaning yesterday; Jolene on the front desk is still welcoming and efficient; Christa, my hygienist, was as usual professional, thorough, and a wealth of advice. Dr. Gilmore came in to take a look at my teeth and to touch basis. The office is a warm and inviting. If looking for a dentist I highly recommend Gilmore Dental.

Jeri K.

I had a tooth break and was so thankful they were able to fit me in. The staff and Dr Gilmore are great!!!

Ashley I.

Only one visit so far but I can already tell this is going to a great start to finally get my teeth fixed. I’ve been waiting for a dentist like this for years. In one visit dr. Gilmore fixed two things I’ve been self conscious about. Not to mention fixed my tooth I was have trouble chewing with! If you’re looking for a new dentist go here!!

Cheryl V.

Thank you to Jolene and Amy for working with me in recent communications providing me with options in a complicated dental decision that I needed to make. Dr. Gilmore and his entire staff are both professional and helpful.

There’s more!
