6 years ago (2005), I needed a tooth implant for my upper lateral incisor #7 which was suddenly lost through dental malpractice by Kaiser Permanente HMO.
I called every implant specialist I could find using a Portland area phonebook and Dr. Jan Kooning was the only oral surgeon who offered FREE consultation and a low flat-rate of $1200 for implants, which was considerably less than any other area specialist I had talked to.
What was quoted was what I paid, no hidden costs, exam charges or X-ray fees, the $1200 was all inclusive and consisted of 1 appt for an initial consult, 1 appt for x-rays and Q&A and 1 appt for the surgery, which all went smooth.
Jan Kooning is so comfortable in his role that he put me at quickly at ease, especially since I have a blood phobia. Jan was so knowledge and assuaged my fears by explaining each step he would be doing. By the time I was in the chair, Jan had me so relaxed I required only local anesthesia!
Jan had a couple dental students from OHSU watching the surgery, which I did not expect and felt my privacy was invaded a little by the extra eyes. The surgery took about 20 minutes and went flawless.
The implant is still as perfect today as the day when Jan installed it all those years ago! :)
