A dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth for reasons like injury or periodontal disease. To begin the implant process, a metal post is surgically positioned into the jaw. This post will act as a permanent root for the implanted tooth. Once it is in place, the surrounding bone and tissue needs time to heal.

I had a few fillings done on my last visit this past Tuesday, the fourth of January 4th 2022. Each time I go to se Dr. Roo, I am becoming more comfortable. I was not in any discomfort at all after he was done. As always, the receptionist and dental assistant were very nice. I do like to mention names but did not get the name of the dental assistant this time. Masks do make it a little difficult to hear the name if they introduced themselves. But they are making sure they/we are being safe. Thank you again for a great visit. On Wednesday, October 12th, 2022 I visited the Portage Secure Dental Location as the Lake Station Office is under a remodel. My dentist, Dr. Roo and some of his staff were there as if I went to the Lake Station Office. I had my teeth cleaned and checked. The dental hygienist was so kind and courteous. She made you feel very comfortable. Dr. Roo came in to check my teeth when she was finished. As always, I leave the dentist office as calm as I walk in. They really do make you feel comfortable. If anyone needs a dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Roo @ Secure Dental in Lake Station. He and his staff will take real good care of you.

Any problems I have had was caused by my insurance. Once resolved, Dr. Roo and staff contacted me, had me in and out, and future appointments set up. Dr Roo is extremeley good at his job, if your nervous about seeing a dentist, try Dr. Roo. He is great.

GLAD I went to secure dental. Im a recovering addict (6yrs clean now) so my teeth are not in the best of shape from years of neglect...I had went to northshore to see if they could help fix my teeth...they said i had to get dentures my teeth were in salable blah blah blah..lol which I did not want but understood if I really needed to go that route...anywho i had a friend suggest i go check secure dental they had fixed her tooth. Me as a procrastinator I put it off til one day my tooth was in pain I figured oh it would go away..2 weeks later the pain didn't go away so I contacted Secure Dental made my apt to have that tooth removed..went to my apt had two teeth pulled and the dentist said okay now let make a plan to fix them other teeth to get u smiling again..so I told him like northshore said I had to get dentures. He said I could fix it we do not need go down that road. So I was excited to know I did not have to get dentures... So I'm still in the process of fixing my teeth..the dentist had fix 2 of my cracked teeth and they came out beautiful can't even tell they were damaged in the past. So he did what my insurance allowed then gave me a quote for the rest of the cracked teeth I needed fix if I didn't want to wait for my insurance to renew in the New year...gave me a discount of 500$ off of the work needed..super excited to have him finish the rest so I can smile with confidence again. Thanx to the wonderful team of Secure Dental you guys/gals are awesome

This place took me last second because I was having excruciating tooth pain. They gave me the option of pulling it saving it if it was savable. Turns out it was!! They were so kind and gentle and had me in and out so fast with a filling. I hadn't been to the dentist in a while cause my last one just offered to rip all my teeth out saying none were worth it and give me dentures or implants and I'm only 29! Sorry but no thank you...I know better. This dentist here reassured me they are infact savable and aren't that bad off. Thank you for restoring my faith in dentists. I'll definitely only being going to secure dental from now on!

I saw Dr. Pong for years. After covid I called to find Dr. Roo. I cancelled my appointment because my wife told me the Dentist threw a temper tantrum in front of everyone. She said he's young and immature. So no to this circus.

I started using Dr. Roo at Secure Dental when my previous dentist retired. I was hesitant at first but have had a couple of procedures done and have been pleased with everyone there. I will continue to be a patient.

It's dirty. And if they can't clean their office how well do they clean the tools they put in our mouth?
