Meet Dr. Richard B. Dunn, DDS
As a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine (a status held by only a few hundred dentists nationwide), Dr. Dunn offers life-changing solutions for snoring and sleep apnea. He’s also a Fellow of the American College of Dentists—an honor achieved by about 3.5% of dentists—which recognizes ethics, service and professional excellence. Dr. Dunn placed his first dental implant in 1984, long before most dentists offered this service. Today he uses that decades-long experience to restore smiles with predictability and precision.
He has lectured locally and nationally on dental sleep medicine and has original research published in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society . But what he’s most proud of is the gratitude he receives from patients: “I’ve got a family of patients,” he says, “like the one who said, "You gave me my life back."
