I went to Dr. Kurban on the recommendation of someone who had extensive work done by him and who said that they never experienced pain or discomfort. As I am someone who has had some bad experiences with dentists in the past, especially related to pain, I was eager to give Dr. Kurban a try. I had four crowns done, including significant drilling to remove decay under old filings previousy in those four teeth, and I hardly felt any pain. It takes longer than usual for me to respond to novacaine but Dr. Kurban was patient and willing to give me further injections and allow time to make sure that I was sufficiently numb before doing any work.
Dr. Kurban is able to make crowns in his office using a sophisticated, computer-based CAD/CAM milling process that allows him manufacture and fit cermamic crowns in one visit. I had three crowns done in one day and walked out of the office with all of the work completed, no temporary crowns and follow-up visits. This was a long appointment but it was made enjoyable by Dr. Kurban's gentle and caring style, his patience, and his willingness to explain all the proceedures clearly and in detail. I highly recommend him to those who want thorough dental work without the pain.
