Dr. Jim Krippaehne and his team at West End Dental are absolutely the BEST! Dr. Jim possesses not only the cutting-edge Science of Dentistry, but also the exquisite Art of Dentistry. He practices with outstanding expertise, knowledge, skills, experiences after additional and continuous expert training, including sleep dentistry and other specialized aspects. He and his team deliver superb, kind, effective and efficient dental care in the most accommodating patient-friendly manner. About 2 years ago, I was referred to Dr. Krippaehne by my Sleep Medicine Specialist (Dr. Scott Fromherz, MD, at Westside Sleep Center), and these 2 doctors (with both of their wonderful staff, especially Polly at Dr. Krippaehne, the most knowledgeable, thorough and professional in taking great care of everything, from getting past records to medical insurance approval, etc.) work very well together to take care of my complex Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and associated problems. I am very grateful for all their genuine care, compassion and wonderful services!!

West End Dental is absolutely amazing! The staff is so friendly and the doctor is very nice. Everyone is professional and the office is clean! I personally had an oral device made through them and I could not be happier! My snoring has stopped and my partner and I are sleeping better. Love love love West End Dental!!

First of all, what a wonderful staff. Timely, responsive, caring and most importantly honest. James Krippaehne is a great dentist and leader, the care I received pre and post surgical operation on my wisdom teeth was exceptional. I was able to reach him on the weekend when a concern popped up, immediately received a follow up appt Monday and was cared for properly. I hope everyone can experience their dental situations with people like this.

Doctor Rodriguez is an artist, a sculptor who uses materials and technology with the greatest skill to achieve amazingly fine results. Her reinforcement of weak incisors, with subtle cosmetic improvements to boot, is a spot-on upgrade that's given me a big confidence boost.

I can’t begin to tell how professional all the doctors and assistants are. Dr James and his staff go above and beyond providing excellent service. If your like me and CPAP didn’t work and just seemed to be an endless money pit. The Prosomus mouth guard that Dr James made for me changed my life, I feel younger and energized. If you have sleep apnea look no further this technology will change your life and a fraction of the price. Keep up the great work West End Dental you have a customer for life!

I’ve been coming to west end dental on and off for almost 25 years. You will not find a better dentist than Dr Krippaehne. He has the unique quality of being professional and comforting at the same time. For anyone like myself, who experiences great trepidation at the very idea of dentistry, Dr Krippaehne should be your ‘go to’. You won’t be disappointed.

Dr Jim got my teeth straightened out before I went back to school! One of the best health care providers I've had and definitely the funniest. He's very informative, thorough, and precise with his work. The front office team is also the BEST EVER!! live laugh love west end dental

I went to West End Dental to have a mouth guard made to help stop my snoring. The entire process was extremely easy and painless. After getting my mouth guard, they took the time to ensure it fit properly and made sure I left knowing exactly how to use it. It has made a huge difference and is so much more comfortable to wear vs the ones you buy online. Everyone in the office was always extremely helpful and a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend West End Dental to anyone!
