I could not recommend this procedure and Dr. Faktor / his office more highly!! For my entire life, I have smiled with my mouth closed and I hated my gummy smile. I didn’t know there was a way to fix this until I came across RealSelf, and then Dr. Faktor. I have never had such an amazing dental experience. Usually I delay even routine cleanings out of anxiety because of the discomfort and pain. But from the moment I stepped in for my consultation, Dr. Faktor put me at ease. He has an A+ bedside manner and was able to understand exactly what I was looking to fix. He even created a fake tooth for me that day so that I could see what the results would look like, which was so cool! I went for the procedure expecting the worst, but I was shocked — it was not painful at all! Any time I so much as gave a small wince, Dr. Faktor would check in on me and give more novocaine. He told me to expect some slight pain and discomfort after the surgery but still … nothing. I felt totally fine, was able to eat regular food (except for hard foods) and my recovery was easy peasy. I didn’t even have to take a day off from working out, and I hosted a small party at my apartment (unrelated — not for the teeth!) that night. Dr. Faktor followed up with me over text that weekend and even through the December holidays, which I was very impressed by. His office was also extremely nice and sent regular appointment reminders via text and email. I couldn’t be more pleased!!
Dr Derek Faktor is simply amazing! He did my smile makeover (10 veneers/crowns) several months ago and I can not stop smiling ever since. My teeth look beautiful, the process went smoothly without any problems. It wasn't an easy decision for me to do such a major work, but Dr Faktor was patient explaining everything to me and very attentive to my concerns. He made me feel very comfortable and I am so happy I found him and let him do the work. I am very happy with the results! I highly recommend this doctor, look no more!
Yesterday I had my third tooth implant by Dr. Derek Fakor. The first two, he pulled both teeth, did a bone graft on both and did put in the implants. After the Novocain wore off, I thought I would be in a lot of pain. I wasn't! NO PAIN!! Dr. Derek is a painless dentist. He has a very gentle touch. The implant I had done yesterday, was also painless. I would recommend Dr. Derek Faktor to anyone.
Before seeing Dr. Derek Faktor I had been in pain for quite a while with my #4 tooth. Unfortunately after years of bad treatment I finally found Dr. Derek. Not only did he ease my mind about the process, but he eased my pain instantly. From start to finish every detail was explained to me in detail and the process was pain free. After a few months of treatment I had a beautiful new implant that looks extremely natural. I have been pain free for over 8 months and I will never see another dentist again.
Dr. Faktor and his team did such a phenomenal job with my dental crown. Throughout the whole process I was given the utmost care and felt completely at ease knowing the wealth of skill and professionalism that Dr. Faktor and his team provides. The crown itself was an absolute match and I couldn't be happier with the result.
