I had an implant done in 2008 and I have not had any problems since then. I was sedated and I later woke up with barely any pain. Was given instruction on what to do for follow up care. I'm having a second implant done in 2014 and heading back to him. He's very friendly and professional. The staff is 5 stars and so is the hygienist. He's a MUST have for implants and dental surgery!!! I would RECOMMEND him without a doubt to people.
