Everything went great today for her surgery but I do have some feedback about other things. My daughter was scheduled to be put to sleep to undergo a root canal. They ended up needing more anthesia which I was willing to pay for. Surgery was supposed to be an hour (I was told this before they started), and it ended up being 2 hours because of some minor complications. Noone came to the lobby to inform us. When it was over, I asked to see her. They said I had to pay first. I just paid almost 5k and they were more worried about an additional $300 before allowing me to see my daughter? This didn't sit right. I didn't say anything. I paid the bill and went to see my daughter. Dr. Hoffman is the nicest man I have ever met! He was outstanding.
Also, in the weeks before her surgery, the office appeared to not communicate. I would receive a call saying one thing then someone else would say another. They were never on the same page.
Last week, they needed to speak with me to confirm a few things. They called me at 8:16am then again at 1:06pm. Leaving me a voicemail that if they do not hear from me they were going to cancel her surgery. Wow! I work. I work 8am-5pm. I do not have access to my phone during those hours. They did leave a voicemail and I would have called the next day but they did not give me a chance before sending me an email threatening to cancel.
Also, they had called me several weeks before to inform me I had no insurance. I called my insurance company and they said I did. Not sure what happened but it resulted in unnecessary phone calls during my only free 20 minutes at work.
If your appointment is at 10am, do not plan on seeing anyone for awhile. All our appointments ran an hour behind.
I think Dr. Hoffman is wonderful but the office staff needs some help.
Not friendly at all. Noone even smiled!
The nurses in the room with my daughter were great too.
I went to nervous and 3 to 4 hours later, I essentially woke up in the car on my way home without realizing anything had happened. If you have trauma with previous dental issues, this is the place. I have a had severe dental trauma my entire life. Until now, they are all fantastic.

What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible materials like titanium. They are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth, such as crowns or dentures (Mayo Clinic).
Safety of Dental Implants
Dental implants have a high success rate of 95-98%, making them one of the safest and most reliable dental procedures available today (American Dental Association).
Common Concerns About Dental Implants
Infection: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection, but proper oral hygiene and post-surgical care significantly reduce this risk (Cleveland Clinic).
Nerve Damage: Although rare, nerve damage can occur, leading to numbness or tingling in the gums, lips, or chin. An experienced dental surgeon minimizes this risk with precise techniques (WebMD).
Sinus Issues: For implants placed in the upper jaw, there is a risk of affecting the sinus cavity, but careful planning and imaging help prevent complications (Healthline).
Benefits That Outweigh the Risks
Durability: Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
Natural Appearance: Implants provide a natural look and feel, boosting confidence.
Enhanced Functionality: They restore chewing and speaking abilities effectively (Colgate).
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most healthy individuals with sufficient bone density are candidates for dental implants. With proper management, patients with chronic conditions like diabetes or heart disease may still qualify (Mayo Clinic).
Advances in Dental Implant Safety
Modern dental technology, such as 3D imaging and computer-guided surgery, has significantly improved the accuracy and safety of dental implant placement (American Academy of Implant Dentistry).
