Dr. Raymond G. Nikodem, DDS My whole life I grew up around dentistry. My father was an orthodontist in South County for over 30 years. My cousin is an endodontist (root canal specialist) in North County, and my three brothers are also dentists.
Because many of my fathers friends were also dentists, I was surrounded by discussions of dentistry, which interested me so much I couldnt wait for the next time I could visit one of their practices just to watch how they worked. Needless to say, I knew at a very young age that I wanted to become a dentist.
Dentistry remains my passion. I feel my passion is reflected in my work and in how I treat my patients. I have been given a great gift, and I want to share that gift with others. I ask all my associates at Right Dental Care, to celebrate my mission statement to be Men and Women for Others.
If you are in need of dental care, please give us a call at Right Dental Care. We understand that a visit to the dentist can be an uncomfortable experience, and my associates and I do everything in our power to see that every visit to our office is as pleasant as possible.

Many adults or older teens would like to improve their smiles but hate the idea of traditional orthodontia. Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that is a great alternative to metal braces. Unlike traditional braces, patients dont have to endure painful, ugly metal wires or bands. Virtually invisible, the Invisalign system works through a series of custom aligners.
Because Invisalign uses a series of clear trays to shift teeth, patients avoid irritating brackets and the unsightly appearance of metal orthodontia. An estimated 1,000,000 people have chosen to straighten their teeth with Invisalign. Benefits include:
During the first step, the dentist will take impressions of your teeth and digitized them. From these impressions, your doctor can create and manipulate a computerized image of the teeth. Using the 3-D model, the dentist will plan out the movement of the teeth. Custom aligners are then generated to fit your specific case. Every couple of weeks, patients change the aligners as prescribed by the dentist. The aligners gradually reposition the teeth little by little until you can enjoy a straight, attractive smile.
What are the benefits of Invisalign? With Invisalign, adults who want to maintain their mature images dont have to deal with the embarrassment of metal braces. Another obvious advantage of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable, so patients can take them out to eat, brush, and floss.
Will Invisalign aligners straighten my childs teeth? Because they still have baby teeth that need room to come out, dentists dont recommend Invisalign for young children. As well, most kids dont have the discipline needed to wear, care for, and keep up with the Invisalign aligners.
How long does treatment last? Although the actual length of time depends on the individual case, usually Invisalign will straighten your smile in 6 to 18 months, often less time than with traditional orthodontic therapy. Your dentist will see you every four to six weeks to monitor your progress.
Since the aligners are removable, can I take them out whenever I want? Most patients love the fact that they can take their aligners out for eating, brushing, or on special occasions. For optimal results, you need to wear the aligners about 22 hours a day on a consistent basis.

This place is awesome. They help you not be nervous. They talk you through everything that they are going to do. They give you a plan on what needs to be done. And you don't have to do it all at one time and can pick what you want to do first. They are very friendly

I've been terrified of going to the dentist my whole life! Dr. Kloess is gentle, kind and takes time to "see you"! It didn't feel like he's half out of his chair the whole time. I had 2 wisdoms removed & the pain level was a ONE! I've also have my roots planed, again pain level ONE. I WILL NEVER BE AFRAID TO GO TO RIGHT DENTAL FOR MY CLEANINGS OR ANY FUTURE WORK THAT NEEDS DONE :)

Was in serious pain. Got me in within 4 days being that I called on a Thursday and closed on weekends. No pain during the whole exam or the extraction. Was very nervous. They made me feel very comfortable. Was in and out within 30 minutes. Best experience I've had at a dental office.

Had my first visit here as a new patient. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The building was well maintained and covid precautions were taken. I will definitely be using this dentist office from now on.

Hello, I attended my appointment today and asked my dental hygienist if she had gotten the vaccine for COVID and she stated she had not because she did not trust the shot. I had the vaccination but she was just working iIN MY MOUTH! This is the peak of irresponsibility. She does not have the interest of health and safety of the community. I started going to Doctor Mills over 30 years ago. Right Dental is now in the same office. I will not return to Right Dental due to the hygienist not choosing to do the right thing for her patients.
