I went to Dr. Noble to treat advanced periodontal disease. At the first consult, he indicated that if I did nothing, there were at least three teeth I would lose. I had a full scaling and surgery on 6 teeth to scale below the gumline. Now, I will keep all my teeth. Dr Noble was very patient and accommodating. He explained the procedures and the reasons for the trreatment so that I felt like a partner in my surgery, not just a patient. For the scaling he used a battery powered device as the only anesthetic and it worked wonderfully, with no numbness to wear off afterwards. I followed his post op recommendations and only used one day of the pain medications with little to no pain. In talking to my friends, it turns out that one had the same procedure 20 years ago from Dr. Noble's partner and the prices are the same today as they were then. I have gone back for my first follow-up and there are no signes of periodontal disease or bacteria. My pockets have gone from 5-7 down to 2-3. I am VERY happy with my treatment.
