My rating:
He is very skilled at placing these mini dental implants for CROWNS not just dentures. In fact he was able to place the Porcelain Crowns the day he put the mini implants in.

Hi Lenoir ,
Thanks for the review, but before I add you to the Dental Implant community page could you please provide a bit more information about your experience to fully aid our community.
1. Did you experience pain and downtime, do you have a few more details about the overall procedure?
2. What made you decide to go through with this procedure, how long had you been thinking about it?
3. What do you wish you knew before hand?
Thanks so much,
-Britt
Pain or downtime - No Dr. P placed the 2 mini dental implants and the 2 crowns the same day. Things felt a little 'tight' in the gum for about a day, but no bleeding or I did not take any pain medicine.
I had been thinking about getting rid of my partial denture for years. More or less from the first day I got it.
I spent more money on the partials and relines than I did on the implants. I wish I had done this from the start.
Thanks Lenoir, for the update and all the pictures. Your teeth look great!
Thanks,
-Britt
