In a perfect world, I wouldn't have required the expertise of an oral surgeon. Thankfully, when the need arrived, my dentist referred me to Dr. Oladubu. At first, I went to his office to remove two teeth that were not able to be saved. Later, when I had an emergency, his office staff worked me into the schedule for an urgent situation. Dr. O's excellence in his methods are obvious if you've ever had an extraction elsewhere. I'm also thank ful for all the preparation and explanation from his assistants, Erin and Maria. Their intuition that an older woman could be as nervous as a kid, helped calm me down by clarifying the steps of the process and post procedure care. Now that I've received my first implant, I'm also grateful for LaCal's skills in expediting the maze of insurance pre-authorization. Without her committed efforts, my implant process would have been delayed for another year.
