Having dental implants has been something I've feared and avoided for many years. I can mark the loss of a tooth down to that fear. One missing tooth became two when it's partner could not stand without support. Now that I've begun the process, I can say with certainty that I wish I'd done it sooner. Dr. Gilbert and his staff are experts at both the procedure and putting the patient at ease. I also appreciate the careful restrictions provided to keep me safe from CoVid.

I had two teeth extracted. This was the closest to an enjoyable trip to a dentist anyone could have. The whole staff is extremely nice. Amazingly I experienced no pain at all after the procedure.
