An outstanding Orange County periodontal surgeon strongly recommended immediate extraction and bridges for my 6 front teeth--upper and lower. Bone loss was significant, and the teeth were unstable. I was a long-time heavy smoker, age 40. As a professional woman, I was devastated with this drastic diagnosis and prognosis.
Colleagues highly recommended Dr. Futa for a second opinion. Due to his skill and acumen, surgical procedures, combined with teamwork from a top orthodontist, and consistent periodontal cleaning--I happily report I still have all of my teeth--18 years later. And, a great deal to smile about. He's the best.
He is thorough, conservative, and the best practitioner I've ever had. I recommend him without hesitation. Prompt, pleasant, humorous, and most importantly, he has successful outcomes.
