I was very apprehensive about having all of my upper teeth removed by Dr. Caplanis in preparation for an upper denture. To say that I was a little nervous would be an understatement. As it turned out, the procedure was truly painless. I remember Dr. Caplanis painlessly putting the needle that was to be used to put the sleep medication in my system... and that is all I remember until one of his assistants wheeled me out to the car with my wife. I am 70 years old and have experienced many dental procedures over the years, but I can truly say this was a great experience. I have followed his advice for post procedure medication and have had no pain whatsoever. Without any reservation or qualification, I highly recommend Dr. Caplanis for oral surgury. Additionally, his assistants and front office staff are great.
