Patient Impact

“A mid-thirties male patient had a severe apprehension about extracting his three remaining wisdom teeth because the first extraction a few years prior had resulted in complication and infection. My experienced staff and I put him at ease with thorough explanation. The extraction was done under general anesthesia in less than ½ hour. The patient recovered well with no complications. The patient regained more confidence to seek routine dental visits.”
