I love this guy. I used him for an implant and my son used him to cut away gum tissue to expose an adult tooth that was growing sideways instead of straight down (part of a lengthy orthodontic procedure. He's really good humored. He cares about the work he does. He calls you back year after year for free follow ups. His office staff is so friendly. I almost wish I had gum problems so I could see him more often. I don't know about the price as I didn't shop around. It didn't seem unreasonable.
