I was horrified at the thought of loosing my natural front tooth when I was diagnosed with a diseased tooth and an implant was recommended. Dr. Augustine was great about explaining the process by showing pics etc and he was very honest about how the end result would look. Each individual responds differently to treatment and some of the burden is on the patient, so be sure to follow directions! He and his staff were very competent and he has a way of soothing your nerves and does a great job of explaining things accurately so you know exactly what to expect. I had a bit of a melt down the morning of the procedure and he calmed my nerves by taking time to speak to me personally on the phone and assuring me he would do what was needed to make sure I was comfortable. I can say I did not experience any pain during the procedure, just some pressure and mild pinching in the gum area on those appointments when he had to remove the temp crown. I had to wear my temp crown for an extended period of time and it held up great. My general dentist who I saw for the permanent crown kept saying what a great job Dr. Augustine did, said it made his job so much easier due to the way he created the temp and the way he placed the implant etc. Today I received my permanent crown, and due to the efforts and skills of Dr. Augustine I have my smile back again! Thanks Dr. Augustine!!!

Great dentist. He referred me to Dr. Iniguez, who rocks, then I came back for an implant. Great staff, very caring. And not bad to gaze upon, either.
