Cannot recommend this place highly enough! I had molar number 18 extracted and a bone graft/implant put in by Dr. Walker. I am extremely grateful for my positive experience.
Where to begin? I was very nervous going into this, as I’m young and this was my first experience needing a tooth extraction and implant. I was especially concerned because my general dentist noted that the tooth was very close to the inferior alveolar nerve (about 1–2 mm away), which made me anxious about the risk of long-term numbness.
I was referred to this practice by my endodontist, and I’m so glad I was. I was able to get in quickly for a consultation, and from the moment I met Dr. Walker, I felt at ease. He was calm, reassuring, and took the time to address my concerns. Scheduling the procedure was also smooth and timely, which I really appreciated.
On the day of the procedure, everything went very smoothly. I chose IV sedation, as I was anxious about hearing the extraction, and that decision made the experience much more comfortable. The dental assistants who prepped me were incredibly kind and immediately put me at ease.
The procedure itself felt very quick, and afterward I was brought to a recovery area where the staff continued to be attentive and supportive. Dr. Walker checked in with me before I left and reassured me that everything went well, which was such a relief.
Within a few hours, all numbness had completely worn off, and my fears about any long-term effects quickly faded. Now, 10 days later, I’m healing very well and am able to eat almost completely normally again.
Overall, it was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish and I am so grateful I chose this practice and Dr. Walker.
