My tooth had cracked, and it just couldn't be saved. I think coming in to the Granger Oral Surgery office is pleasant from the very beginning. It's comfortable; the staff is welcoming. The procedure I had included what's called a sinus lift; since I needed the implant on my upper jaw, there wasn't enough bone and enough space to basically screw in the tooth. Oh, the recovery was simple; I think I probably took one Tylenol and went home and just rested the rest of that day, but you know, back in action the next day. My implant feels completely like a natural tooth. It's just something that never even enters my head that there's something else up there. Dr. Anderson has a lovely manner; he's gentle but strong, he's caring, and he and his staff work well together. It's been a positive experience throughout.--Susan
