I am someone who is absolutely phobic when it comes not only to dental procedures but even normal dental checkups. So when I was told I had to get a baby tooth that never came out extracted and an implant put in, I was terrified. My dentist recommended Dr. Gottesman at Perio.
First came the consultation where Dr. Gottesman explained the entire procedure thoroughly including what to expect before, during and after. After speaking with him and him answering all my questions (very patiently I might add!), although I was still scared I at least felt confident in the choice of periodontists.
Then came the procedure day. I was absolutely manic, but again Dr. Gottesman talked through everything that would happen (he even said I could pop in my earbuds which helped tremendously). At one point he paused and I expected him to say “ok the tooth is out, we can put in the implant now”. Instead he said “All done”. I couldn’t believe it. The entire procedure, including the shot to numb the area, was so painless. The worst it got was at times I felt a little discomfort but that was it. I was thrilled at how painless and easy everything went.
Thank you to Dr. Gottesman and his team for everything. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs any procedures done and will definitely be going back if I need anything else done!
