After Dr. Buck graduated from the University of Louisville school of Dentistry, he began his dental career in the US Army. He deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan with the 626 Forward Support Battalion as the Brigade Dental surgeon of the 3 rd Brigade, 101 st Airborne Division. Following a separation from the Army, Dr. Buck spent 2 years in private practice until he crossed into the blue to achieve and Air Force Career.
While serving in Okinawa, Japan, Dr. Buck spent over 5 months on the hospital ship, USNS Mercy. At that time, Dr. Buck attained the title of Shellback and was inducted into the Solemn Mysteries of the Ancient Order of Shellbacks. During his career as a dentist, Dr. Buck has earned 2 Masters Degrees. The first based on research inEndodontics; the second based on research in Prosthodontics.
Since 2008, Dr. Bucks initial primary focus in his practice was Prosthodontics- including fixed, removable, implants and maxillofacial rehabilitation. During this time, he also learned to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea directly under the tutelage of Dr. Thornton, himself, the creator of the TAP oral devices. In his time as a prosthodontist, Dr. Buck has out of necessity, treated patients for TMD and has taken a gnathologic approach with great success. These successes intrigued him; and from 2011 until 2014 he treated only the most difficult cases of TMD that presented to the military clinics.
Dr. Buck has developed a love for treating orofacial pain and over time, orofacial pain became 50% of his practice. At this point, Dr. Buck now devotes 100% of his clinic time to treating snoring, sleep apnea and resolving Temporomandibular Joint Disorders. Colonel Richard Buck retired from the United States Air Force after 21 years of military service.
He maintains a Diplomate Status with the American Board of Prosthodontics and is a Fellow of the American College of Prosthodontics. He also holds membership within the American Academy of Orofacial Pain and sits on their Sleep board. He is also a Board-Certified Dentist with the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine.

I was in a lot of pain but the only thing that seemed important to them was that I come up with $200 that I couldn't afford to make the pain go away from an infected broken tooth plus I have medicaid and I understand not every place accepts that but not every one can afford $$$$$ and I expected to make payments but wished to God I could have gotten some relief from the pain

I took my fiance here to have her TMJ worked on. I was told over the phone that with my in house plan, the visit would be free. Upon arriving they said it would be $250. I decided to do it anyways since most TMJ specialist are pretty expensive altogether. After my fiance left meeting with the doctor, she had been crying. He was radically unhelpful and incompetent. The plan they gave us to fix the TMJ was a total scam, with the first visit being $1000 just to basically get another checkup. He had no ability to actually diagnose the problem. We later went to our chiropractor who was able to actually see what was wrong basically immediately, and he only charged us $75. This guy is an expert on wasting your money, so if that is what you're looking for, I'd highly recommend.

The staff is very friendly but the office's care standards are sub-par, focused on upselling you to any procedure they can bill for regardless of clinical need. Avoid at all costs
