William Letcher, D.M.D.

Professional Training

William Letcher graduated from St. Mark's Prepatory School in Dallas, Texas in 1967. He went on to Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri where he received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mathematics in 1971. He remained at Washington University for his Medical Dentistry Doctorate and graduated in 1975.

Professional Affiliations - Activities

Dr. Letcher became a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry in 1991. He is also a graduate of the L.D. Pankey Institute in South Florida, the Misch Implant Institute at the University of Pittsburgh, and holds several U.S. patents on crown fabrication. Dr. Letcher has been licensed to administer I.V. sedation for all dental procedures.

The reconstructive and restorative talents of Dr. Letcher began shortly after becoming established in his local Tulsa practice. Certain intellectual curiousities were spurred by his undergraduate training and his intense interest in the aesthetic and restorative aspects of dentistry.

Within 5 years of becoming established, Dr. Letcher's practice became heavily focused on the cosmetic aspects of dentistry. Possessing a keen interest in structural components and the various physical properties of commonly used reconstructive products (porcelain, crowns, bridgework, etc) Dr. Letcher developed a hybrid process for fabricating dental crowns and bridges that eventually earned a patent.

Technical and Artistic Eye

Dr. Letcher's intense interest in cosmetic and reconstructive perfection led to the development of his own on-site dental lab. It was determined by a fair amount of frustration at times, that Dr. Letcher could not maintain a constant and permanent influence on the laboratory process. Common errors in measurement, constitutional differences in ceramic materials and idiosyncratic differences between patients became a thing of the past once Dr. Letcher established his own lab.

The combination of the on-site laboratory and dental lab director, Mr. Jaafar Tafla, affords each and every patient the opportunity to not only have the "one on one" relationship with their dentist.... but with their "own" dental technician.

Sending out dental lab work has been eliminated. No extended waiting periods for custom lab work. In many cases, lab work is completed on the same day, within just a few hours. Consultations involving the patient, Dr. Letcher AND the dental technician are routine, thereby assuring our patients of premium products and services.

Controlled Surprises in Restorative and Reconstructive Dentistry

In summmary, Dr. Letcher and his staff enjoy having ultimate control over the laboratory processes. The commonplace stories of dental lab work being returned due to errors, poor fitting, wrong color shades for porcelain products (crowns and veneers) and totally eliminated.

Patients undergoing major reconstructive dentistry particulary enjoy Dr. Letcher's ability to make precision adjustments in fabrication processes that assure certain bite and occlusion properties (implications for TMJ related problems) are controlled that result in reconstructive outcomes that not only look great but feel great... and natural.

Dr. Letcher can been found elsewhere on the internet at Dental Health Library and has been featured in Best Dentist Websites.
