Got talked into LANAP laser gum surgery to attempt to save some upper teeth that Dr. Waddell told me he thought were viable; also wisdom tooth extraction that left me numb for 3 months--this got blamed on me needing "lots of novacaine" when in reality it was probably the wisdom tooth extraction. I would have been more understanding if he had been honest with me. Get a second opinion on LANAP; I have been told by three other dentists that these teeth were, in fact, NOT salvagable and I wasted $3000 of my own money on the LANAP for teeth that it wouldn't have helped. I also got very poor instruction on aftercare for the LANAP. I have since been advised by a periodontist that I will need six more extractions due to poor viability based on my original XRays prior to the LANAP! Very poor accommodation for tooth sensitivity; I also had an inordinate amount of swelling and bleeding into surrounding tissue after my extractions which, again, got blamed on other factors. Even the partial that I have for two lower teeth extractions doesn't fit well. If you have periodontal issues, see a periodontist. The office staff is nice, though, and very helpful. I would steer clear of Dr. Waddell.
