I couldn't be more grateful to Dr Danz and his expertise with the Lanap Protocol. I had had a completely different prognosis from my previous dentist, who sent me to a periodontist who suggested gum flap surgery and an extraction. My mind immediately rejected that, it is as awful as it sounds, and I began my research - I'm really glad I did. The lanap "surgery" was very tolerable. I had no remarkable pain right after or afterward. Healing has gone very well and quickly, even the liquid and soft diet has been fine. My periodontal issue has been all but reversed and will continue that way w regular lanap cleanings. The loose molar that started this whole problem, and I was told was a goner, is now a happy tooth again and no longer loose (only 2 wks out from surgery - miraculous). And, as an added benefit my gums and bone will continue regenerating - can't wait to see my xrays in a yrs time. I no longer have any damaging bacteria because the laser killed it all. I feel great. Better than I have in years. I can honestly recommend this procedure - it really works. Very lucky to have found Dr Danz.

Dr. Bob has been my dentist since we both were much younger. I was very afraid of dentists at the time. Dr. Bob took the time to explain everything to me, they have gas and music! His staff made my daughter's first visit a good one so she will not ever be afraid of dentists in her lifetime. Dr. Bob is all about saving the tooth and preventative procedures. Looking for a dentist, make an appointment. The girls at the desk will make you feel welcome. You will not be sorry.

I was having a dental emergency while traveling and was able to reach Dr. Danz by phone. He was incredibly kind and offered some suggestions for how to mitigate the pain until I could get back home to my regular dentist. He made a difficult situation manageable and I can only imagine he would be the same in person - kind and competent.
