    This is the best place to go for extraction of wisdom teeth. My husband and daughter both had teeth pulled, and they are the very best.

    Incredibly good bedside manner. Wasn't rushed. Fully Addressed my concerns. Good experience from…read morefront desk on. Highly recommend.

    Dr. Rabot is hands down the BEST oral surgeon! I dont even know where to begin . (This is a long…read moreone ) 1. I probably have one of the VERY worst dental phobias you can imagine from bad childhood early adult dentist experiences. Im talking trembling , shaking uncontrollably , sweating to the point my glasses would fog up , nausea , heart pounding fear . And that lead to a lot of years of neglect on my part. Ive had a dentist use the max amount of shots to numb me and look me in my face like i was crazy and tell me "sorry I cant give you any more" when I tried to tell them I could still feel it , not a little bit, like fully feel it . Dr. Rabot was the FIRST of many to actually take the time and hear me. Right off the bat he explained that he would try a different technique that required an injection into the back of my jaw and that it would not be the most pleasant but it should do the trick. When I tell you this man did extractions and implants with less pain that ive had for a cavity/root canal/ simple extraction. The whole time talking me thru what he was doing , making sure I was ok and comfortable the entire time. His chairside manor is incredible and he just has a very calming and assuring way about him . 2nd Dr. Rabot has given me several implants and a few weeks into the 3rd one it had failed (it happens) . And it was CHRISTMAS morning , I texted Dr. Rabot early in the morning and sent him a video of me wiggiling my implant with my tounge. His response ? "I can be at the office in 30 minutes , or would you be more comfortable in the hospital setting because we can go there too". ON CHRISTMAS MORNING !! I am not a fan of hospitals so I went with the office. 30 min and he had me in the chair , numbed up , implant out and bone grafting done , 3-4 months later new implant and back in buisness (2nd attempt did not fail ) 3rd EVERY SINGLE TIME he has done any surgery on my HE calls me to check up on me. Not an assistant. 4th he has never made me feel stupid for my insane phobia , only been supportive and understanding. 5th VERY VERY clean office VERY kind staff . I DO not give out 5 star reviews easy . But this one is so deserved . He is a master at his craft and knows and cares very much about the work he does and that shows To the person who complained about having to wait while he ordered his food on vacation in another country .... poor you !!! You had to wait a couple minutes ....... it would have been so much better if you were sent to an after hours answering service or a voicemail right ? Cause thats what most Docs will do. Im not sure what other option he could have provided to you for immidiate help other than hospital . He was out of the country, the fact he answered the call at all shows you exactly the kind of Dr he is . The kind that always puts his patients first.

    My daughter was getting married in a few months. She said I was not allowed to be there unless I…read moregot my teeth fixed, as she did not want her new in-laws to judge me (and her) based on a missing front tooth. "I know that your tooth was knocked out when the metal end of a dog lease hit you in the face, but everyone else probably thinks you're a meth head." Harsh words. I hope that most people are not that judgmental, but I am socially handicapped by my freakish empathy, unable in many cases to see the bad in people, even after I have been harmed by them. Besides, I do not enjoy having a jarring hole in my face where my front tooth should be. I have noticed the recoil on people's faces when I forget to cover my smile with my hand or to not smile no matter what. So I readily agreed to find a dentist to fix things and give the name and number to my daughter. She had figured the cost of fixing my teeth into her wedding budget. (Although I felt such shame and guilt that not only could I not pay for my daughter's wedding but she had to pay to make me presentable enough to attend, I also felt the love she demonstrated in her offer.) Now, I have zero patience for things like researching dentists. So on the last possible day to submit contact information, I randomly chose ProSmile Dental Implant Center from online listings. Not only am I an empath, but apparently I am also psychic, for my random pick turned out to have chosen the best dentist possible!! Besides the cosmetic repair, I also needed the dentist to clear me to have a knee surgery. Sounds unrelated, I agree. But the anesthesiologist doesn't want you to die in their care, and dying during anesthesia is more possible if you have any infection in your teeth. I had been afraid to see a dentist because I cannot take any pain medication. I had last had a tooth pulled in the 1990s, and I remember the hurt. I avoided the dentist for more than a decade. And that's why, before I could get a bridge, I needed 7-SEVEN!- teeth pulled due to infection. I had a consultation first, during which I was happy to discover that all the staff were very nice. But I have experienced this first visit kindness at other dental offices, only to discover that I am treated not so well next time I am there. So I was wary. I went to my appointment like a lamb to slaughter. I was treated very well prior to inhaling the knock out vapor by everyone who works there. When I woke up, of course I was still numb where my teeth had been removed, and my mouth was filled with stitches. I was absolutely dreading the moment that the novacaine would wear off. And here is the entire reason I wrote this wordy essay: Despite avoiding the dentist for years due to fear of pain, despite everyone warning me that I would be super uncomfortable and have bruises on my face, despite being so scared prior to the surgery tears rolled down my cheeks, in the days after I had SEVEN teeth pulled from my gums, I HAD ABSOLUTELY NOT A SECOND, NOT EVEN A TWINGE, OF PAIN. Read that again: I had NO PAIN after getting 7 teeth pulled out and a bit of gum repair surgery too. This blew my mind. I suppose it's true that techniques and technology updates helped create this result, but those things still are provided by the dentist himself. So I write this to highly highly recommend ProSmile Dental Implant Center based solely on the fact that I had no pain at all. It was a few weeks before my bridge could be installed. There were two delays because the new teeth were not the exact match in color to my remaining teeth. This drove my poor daughter out of her mind as her wedding was a week or two out, but I didn't mind a bit! These wonderful people wanted absolute perfection. Even when I said it looked good, the team recognized a slight difference, and they brought the lab guy in to fix it. He was able to rush it and it was all good the next day! I am certain that any other dentist would have gone ahead with the sub par work when I said it was fine with me. But not them. They insisted they make it perfect, and I am very glad they did. I was able to attend my daughter's wedding without hiding my smile. As far as I know, her new in-laws don't think I am a meth head, at least not based on my teeth. And I can attest to the fact that not having to worry that a stranger will gasp involuntarily when they see you grin a toothless grin at them is truly a life changing improvement. It takes a few weeks to lose the habit of a no teeth smile, but soon you return to how you were before you lost any teeth, and it is WONDERFUL. Thank you to ProSmile Dental Implant Center, and especially thank you to my beautiful daughter. Love is awesome!

He was so funny and put me at ease (I am a big chicken when it comes to the dentist) and he and his dental assistants showed great care and helped me when I needed it most. The check-in and payment processing was easy as well. Great communication and great team! The Yelp reviews are not accurate with my experience and it looks like what others have experienced on Google reviews. Great experience all around! (I did want to point out that the photos of the desk area on this location are not accurate and appear to be stock photography). The visit though was top notch! Great :)

His staff was helpful and caring. Dr. Crawford was skillful, friendly but professional, and despite having other patients, fit me in. I was on my way a few hours later and was able to enjoy (well, kind of) the rest of my visit in AZ. The offices could use a 'refresh' (note to Owner), but Dr. Crawford's skill and calming manner is so worth going, whether you need regular dental care, or in an emergency as I did! Thank you Dr. Crawford and staff!

    Dr. Smutko is rude, disrespectful, condescending and accepts zero responsibility if there is a…read moreproblem. I have filed a complaint against Dr. Smutko with the Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners. On February 11, Dr. Smutko performed a tooth extraction, bone graft and placed a membrane due to a sinus perforation evidenced on a scan my dentist provided. Dr. Smutko said I had an infection and that she had cleared it. On 2/13, I called to ask if the very considerable pain I felt was normal. On 2/14, I asked if an antibiotic might be helpful given that there was an infection. She ASSURED me I did not have an infection and that everything was fine, She said that an antibiotic would "only serve as a placebo."   On  2/18, I complained that I could not manage the severe pain with medication. She lectured me that it had been a "simple procedure," which completely contradicted her earlier statement that it had been a "complicated procedure" due to the tooth's proximity to the sinus cavity. " On 2/21, I called and asked for an appointment. On 2/25, again, I questioned the possible need for an antibiotic. I didn't know if I still had an infection but I did know that there was a serious problem. I had spoken to another oral surgeon who said I should have been put on an antibiotic immediately following the procedure. She coldly dismissed me. I asked if she didn't think it was possible that there could be a problem that is not visible to her eye.  She flatly said "no" but reluctantly prescribed an antibiotic. After taking only 4 pills over a 24 hour period, my pain had decreased substantially.   Unfortunately, after a few days, the pain slowly returned, now accompanied by the strong smell of sulfur (research will point to an infection in that instance.) I asked her if it was possible that the antibiotic which seemed very helpful initially, wasn't strong enough and I told her that now I was having to cancel my own clients for my aesthetics business I have owned for over 30 years and losing a considerable amount of income due to this situation. She completely dismissed me, actually rolled her eyes and left the room. I told one of her assistants that I was never returning due to Dr. Smutko's shockingly cold, dismissive and unprofessional behavior. She said that she understood, apologized and told me that "Dr. Smutko believes the body should be able to heal itself." I suppose that explains why the doctor coldly dismissed every question I had. She never took a single CT to see if there was actually an issue causing weeks of pain and suffering. She acts as though she is superior to her patients that their opinions or discomfort are of no merit or importance to her at all. I decided to get a second opinion from a new oral surgeon. On March 4, I went to see Dr. Nelson, for a second opinion. He immediately did a 3D CT scan and determined that there was a substantial issue, either mucus, infection or something in my left sinus cavity, which he called Opacified and Pneumatized left maxillary sinus, which likely explained why I was smelling sulfur and experiencing severe pain. He also checked that the bone graft wasn't contaminated, something Dr. Smutko didn't consider.    On March 6, Dr. Nelson performed a procedure to clear out whatever it was evidenced in the CT. Immediately following his procedure, I no longer could smell sulfur and miraculously felt no pain for the first time in weeks. Dr. Smutko had refused to consider, accept or scan for a problem. While under her care, I was left to suffer for weeks and had to cancel approximately $7,000 dollars of aesthetic procedures income I had on my books. Two different oral surgeons said it was negligent for Dr. Smutko to not to run a single scan for weeks following constant complaints after a dental procedure. Just one scan, less than 10 minutes and she would have had all the evidence she claimed she didn't have, to identify and treat my problem. Dr. Smutko is responsible for the worst medical experience I've ever had.
