Concerned Dental Care Reviews
The Doctor are very helpful and friendly
Chris was great!! He is very patient, efficient and I was in and out pretty quick! He talked me through everything he was doing and was very comforting. (I can be a baby when it comes to the dentist) The office is very clean and organized as well!
I've been a patient of Concerned Dental for over 15 years. I always get the best care for my teeth with them. I am 54 years old and have all my teeth. And they do a great job with my cleanups every 6 months. Thank you! Keep up the good work 🦷😁
My first time visiting and hands down, 10/10. They were very fast, polite, helpful, and handled my appointment with care. I even booked an appointment for my younger child!
I was seen before my scheduled appointment time, the staff were friendly and nice. This was my first visit and had no complaints.

What Can I Expect From Post Removal?
Post removal is not often easy, as they're placed to be a permanent fixture in the mouth. The difficulty level of post removal will depend on the type of post, the kind of cement used when placing the post, the space between the roots of the teeth, and the accessibility of the post. Our oral surgeons, however, use clinically-proven techniques to offer our patients safe and efficient post removal. We use state-of-the-art materials to minimize downtime. This procedure is often performed using general anesthesia to provide you with maximum comfort. Because general anesthesia is used, you should have a friend or family member available to take you home.
What Happens After Post Removal?
After post removal, your mouth will need time to heal. You will likely experience some discomfort, but this shouldn't be anything an over-the-counter pain medication can't help with. We may use a temporary filling to seal the tooth roots, so you will need to come back into the office after your healing process to receive a restorative appliance. This is an important aspect in keeping the area clean and free from damage and infection in the future.
