Detailed Introduction

James E. Ference, D.M.D., P.C., located at 213 Luther Rd, Johnstown, PA 15904, is a well-established dental practice led by Dr. James E. Ference. The clinic is dedicated to providing personalized, gentle, and comprehensive dental care, focusing on restoring and enhancing the natural beauty of smiles using conservative, state-of-the-art procedures. Dr. Ference is a highly accomplished dentist with over 30 years of experience, holding the prestigious distinction of being board-certified by the American Board of Oral Implantology (ABOI) and a Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID). He is one of only 17 dentists in Pennsylvania with this highest designation of skill in implant dentistry and has been placing and restoring implants since 1986. The practice offers a wide array of services, including general dentistry (exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, X-rays, oral cancer exams), cosmetic dentistry (composite fillings, porcelain crowns, fixed bridges, teeth whitening, porcelain veneers), and extensive reconstructive dentistry and implant services. Their expertise extends to complex surgical procedures such as bone and soft tissue grafting (including sinus augmentation), root canals, extractions (including wisdom teeth), pocket reduction surgery, and the placement and restoration of dental implants (including mini dental implants). They also address issues like bruxism, TMJ dysfunction, and sleep apnea with appropriate appliances. The clinic emphasizes preventative care and patient education, aiming to provide "dental health care" rather than "disease care." They prioritize thorough exams and use advanced techniques for infection control, adhering to standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Dr. Ference is actively involved in professional dental organizations, serving as a Senior Associate Editor of the international Journal of Oral Implantology and a former Editor in Chief of the AAID News. The practice strives to create a positive and comfortable experience for all patients, offering same-day emergency appointments and Saturday appointments, along with financing options. Patient testimonials often highlight the compassionate, skilled, and attentive nature of the team.

So glad I found him to be my dentist! Him and Julie treated me like family. He is outstanding, patient, caring. I have terrible anxiety at dentists and he really put me at ease and was just so patient with me. He is an excellent dentist and his wife Julie is the sweetest woman you could ever meet.

I called about a broken tooth I had had for awhile and my dentist had passed away. Julie gave me a same day appointment to be seen and got the work done a week later. Thank you for your excellent services.

I was late in posting a review but I really want to commend Dr. Ference in doing a great job with my infected tooth last year. I've been with another dentist for years and I had a root canal done by him. Well, it got infected and I went back to him several times but he still couldn't fix the problem. I was always in pain whenever he tried to close it. It was the weekend and I was in so much pain so I was so desperate to find a dentist that could fix my tooth and also the pain. I wasn't sure if Dr. Ference was able to take me because I just called his office in the morning. But Julie was so nice that she gave me an appointment that day.

I was so thankful that I found Dr. Ference. He was so patient, very thorough, traditional but very experienced. He explained everything to me and he was able to fix my tooth. He even called me after clinic hours to ask how my tooth was doing and if I was still having pain. Dr. Ference is very highly recommended. He's one of a kind.

Dr. Ference was amazing. I was sent to him by workers comp after having a swinging door knock my front tooth out. The original dentist they wanted to send me to was rated 1 star and hours away in Pittsburgh. I couldn't be happier that I refused the original dentist and had them find me Dr.

Ference instead. Never having any major dental work done before, he made sure that I was comfortable throughout the entire process, wasn't in pain, and explained everything he was doing as he did it to ease any nerves. My new tooth is in place now and looks fantastic.

My wife broke a tooth the night before a big concert. I called Saturday morning and Dr Ferrence (who was not our regular dentist) got her in within an hour and had her fixed up within a few hours and she was happy. His wife was wonderful and he took his time and she said he explained everything and made sure she was as pain free as possible during the procedure.

Definitely recommend and will be switching to him.
