I was also referred to Dr Thor, by ratings on the internet, I did my homework. I went threw 2 years of face pain because my bite had gotten so out of alignment. Dr Thor is a perfectionist, he was very detailed on my two partials and they fit perfectly on delivery. I had one small adjustment 2 weeks later. I had two implants done by Dr McDonald at the facial surgery center, Dr Thor referred me to specialist in implants I needed two. That went without any problems, it too was practically pain free, they are strong and hold my partial perfectly. Dr Thor is not chatty he concentrates on his work, his wife Linda is a people person, she is warm and remembers your conversations. The rest of the staff the are also dedicated, I think they are proud they work for Dr Thor. I never had to wait, most time waiting was 5 minutes. Now money, first dentist quoted me $18.000 and he was a novice at implants, he was going to do the procedure with no anesthesia. Thor sent me to experts, for his part 2 particles and completing the last stage of implants was $5,400. Implants were $4,400.00 half the price of Dr Lori in Ramona. Dr Thor he's the best!
