In short, Dr. Sparks performs miracles. I was sure I was beyond dentures because there simply weren't enough stable teeth left in my mouth to anchor such a device, even if one could be successfully fabricated.
I knew that implants were my only viable option, but didn't think I could afford them and, frankly, I was a bit terrified at the thought of someone drilling holes in my jawbone.
I'm not sure if it was my newly acquired expertise in soup varieties or the fading memory of New York steaks, but a friend suggested that I let Dr. Sparks have a look. I set up an appointment
The office is located in a quiet, shady neighborhood. The waiting area is tastefully decorated and spotless. The staff are friendly, efficient, and very helpful. You'll really like Dr. Sparks. He makes you feel comfortable in the chair (not easy for me), and his confidence and competence are obvious and reassuring. I am sooo happy that I made that first appointment. Dr. Sparks just completed my second and third implants a week ago. I felt absolutely no discomfort before, during, or after the procedure. The best part? I'd like the ribeye, lightly charred and pink in the middle, thank you.
About Front Desk: The front desk staff and all the other people in the office are great. They act truly interested in their customers and go one step further than they have to. They all seem to like their jobs and enjoy working with one another. I think that's a good barometer of the entire practice. I'm a very happy camper and so are they.
