I feel compelled to write this review. I'm a 50 yo male…read morewith a panic/anxiety disorder. It really gets bad when I need dental work done. I've had several horrible experiences with tooth extractions in my life. Pain, swelling , post op infections ... you name it. These past experiences led me to let this tooth go way longer than I should have. I had the referral for 14 months before making my Appointment. I feel like a fool and here's why. I've been worrying about this tooth for 2 years. As it fell apart, it would cut my tongue, but I was still terrified to make the call. As I knew I needed/ wanted to be sedated by IV drip, it's necessary to have a preliminary consultation. Their Covid protocol is thorough and the office is brand new and spacious. Quite nice in fact!! Dr. Harris is very personable and very positive. I liked him right away!!! He listened intently as I explained why I was there and what my concerns were. He sat and LISTENED to everything I had to say. He then looked in my mouth and assured me this was going to be a breeze. They all say that. This guy wasn't kidding. Everything was explained and my questions and concerns were addressed. Here's where it gets good. I got there and we got right to it. No waiting for 30 min in the lobby getting worked up. I don't even think I was there much longer than 30 minutes. I had some Nitrous Oxide gas ( that's nice). It was even mildly scented. The next thing I know , he walks in and puts the IV in my arm and the next thing I hear him say is "We're done" We couldn't be done, I just got there. I was driven home and watched as is par for being under any anesthesia. I was eating a hamburger 2 hours after I left his office. I was hungry bc you can't eat the night before. He gave me 2 different pain prescriptions and something to keep me from being nauseous. I had them all filled ,but as I sit here writing this review 26 hours after leaving his office , I haven't even opened any of them. I'm not only not in pain, I don't even have the slightest bit of soreness. I'm actually shocked. I feel no differently than yesterday. I'm able to do any and everything. My speech isn't affected and ZERO swelling or even minor discomfort. I cannot say enough about my experience with Dr Harris. I will recommend him to EVERYBODY I know and even those I don't!!! He's that good! Lastly, aside from my general worry about dental procedures ,I was concerned about the cost. I'm retired on a disability and I have a mortgage. It cost me about 1/3 of what I expected it to. That was another pleasant surprise. I'm about to go eat lunch. Again, I'm not even the slightest bit sore anywhere. Thank you so very kindly to Dr. Harris and his Staff for the outstanding level of treatment I received. He's located in the new medical building right by the Galleria near Causeway. I'd cleared my schedule for today and the weekend in expectation of 3days down. I think I'll do some yard work today after I eat lunch!!

If you ever need help with wisdom teeth extraction or oral surgery these are the people you want to see! Oral& Maxillofacial Surgical Associates is the place we went! This is not advertisement for them. They never said anything I'm just so impressed. I had to share it with my friends. I prayed we find someone that could get Steve out of pain safely and God answered our prayers. This cheerful dentist had us all laughing, and made us so comfortable. Steve is not completely out of the woods and has a few days to recover, but it's looking very good. Keep him in your prayers and thank you for letting me share my good news!

He did a great job both visits. He also has a great sense of humor .

Highly recommend !

I was referred to Dr. Harris specifically by Dr. Gottsegen, who recommended all of my wisdom teeth…read morebe removed despite the pain being only on one side. Additionally, I'm being treated for severe TMJ disorder and have have been insisting that something has been wrong with my wisdom tooth since November 2024. Prior to my visit, I asked if they could verify what needed to be done based on the images sent in with the referral and book a date for the extraction. A tentative date was set but I still had to go in and see the doctor and pay the $110. Today I went in and traded $110 and all of my medical history for a conversation on ethics. Despite the chronic TMJ pain, difficulty to repair the tooth (despite what he says), and constant food trappings, Dr. Harris likened my (and the referring orthodontist) desire for the tooth removal to a person wanting to amputate a leg because of a bruise. To arrive and have to pay $110 to get a lecture on "ethics" was a bit much. The ethical thing to do, in my opinion would be to look at the images sent weeks before by the orthodontist and get back to him and discuss it. But ethically, I'm the one dealing with the chipped wisdom tooth causing my idiomatic pain. Completely disgusted about this.

The exterior of the building is outdated and could use a facelift or complete paint job, which made me wonder at first if I was in the correct place.

He came highly recommended from my primary dentist and now he comes very highly recommended from me.

If I need any other tooth extractions or any Oral Surgery, I will be sure to go back to Dr. Jackson!

I had my top wisdom teeth taken out here about 2 years ago and I completely forgot to make a review…read morethis place was absolutely wonderful the staff care about you they inform you of the proper aftercare they get you prescribed the proper medication for aftercare . I had gotten my bottom wisdom teeth out prior to coming here and the process I went through was a nightmare at my previous location which so sadly shut down, and I was never properly informed of the aftercare at my previous location. this location made sure I knew what to do post procedure and they understood how scared I was to undergo the procedure itself. very very caring, they talked me through the process, their dental office did not smell of must or machinery in any way (which is a frequent occurrence in my experience) but simply fresh air. their office was also very clean and organized. happily I do not have to get any more wisdom teeth removed but I do reccomend this location to anyone who needs theirs removed.

I had my wisdom teeth out in June after they had already begun erupting through my gums (I waited…read moretoo long). Dr. Lim came highly recommended. I had a negative experience both in terms of recovery and bedside manner. During most of my interactions with Dr. Lim, he seemed eager to get on with his day, was impatient, and did not give thorough answers to questions I had. I was particularly nervous for the surgery as I knew I should have gotten my wisdom teeth out earlier. Dr. Lim was dismissive of my concerns and brushed them off. Dr. Lim told me during our consultation I should expect a 1-3 day recovery time. In reality I was in agony for two weeks and the recovery time after that took 3 months. After my surgery I was given one generic fact sheet informing me how to care for my gums and otherwise very minimal instruction. I had many complications following my surgery and had to call multiple times to have my pain taken seriously. I went to an emergency dentist the weekend after my procedure in agony. The dentist was shocked by the insufficiency of the pain management plan Dr. Lim had put me on (Hydrocodone with no medication to tide me over between doses), and gave me a helpful, updated, detailed plan with a couple new medications. I called Crescent City Monday when it opened explaining I was in agonizing pain. I was told it was too soon after surgery to have dry socket and that pain is normal. I insisted I needed to be seen. I went in and they confirmed I did have dry socket. It was treated (the pain eased nearly immediately). I asked for instructions on how to minimize the chances of this happening again. I asked if I should avoid any food. I was told I could go back to eating and that there was nothing I could do other than not using a straw, etc.; dry socket often happens to women. Later that day I ate and immediately experienced agonizing pain. I called the office the next day and insisted I be seen again. I had dry socket again - the treatment had dislodged. Upon contacting the office and visiting in person, my interactions with Crescent City staff gave me the uncomfortable feeling I was merely a nuisance to them (one staff member was consistently kind). Again I was treated for dry socket and again the pain eased. I insisted on a plan to minimize my chances of dry socket happening for a third time. At this request, I was put on a liquid diet for a couple days. I asked for thorough instructions for how to clean the sockets. I got some funny looks for asking questions, but I was told to clean them for a few days and then stop cleaning them because they would start closing up. Days later, the sockets did not begin closing up, and food built up, causing pressure in my gums. I decided to stay on a liquid diet for a few extra days, and to continue cleaning the sockets for weeks (since the sockets would not heal). This helped with some discomfort. The recovery process took three months. At nearly every turn my pain was not taken seriously and I was treated as a nuisance for asking how to care for myself. I would certainly not recommend Crescent City Oral Surgery. I do have to wonder if mine was a difficult surgery that would not have been painful regardless of where I went - I don't know; I'm not an oral surgeon. What I do know is that the dismissal, disbelief, and rudeness of the staff and Dr. Lim exponentially increased my pain and could have been easily preventable.

Initial Consult - The atmosphere is super friendly and the people explaining every detail made it very easy to understand the entire process from beginning to end. The cost is substantial and they work with you to help you obtain financing and set up payments that work around your budget. I'm now waiting for surgery date and VERY anxious and nervous. I trust Clear Choice completely but it is a pretty intense surgery as I'm having a lot of teeth pulled. I'm doing this to gain back the confidence and self esteem I've lost over the past 7 years due to medication harming my teeth. My smile used to be one of my trademarks and I'm hoping to get it back by trusting Clear Choice. 2. SURGERY DAY was arriving at 6:30am and I was in the chair at 6:45am. Everyone came in to greet me and encourage me and I am usually extremely fearful of sedation as it rarely works on me. I made my concern known to the surgeon and he was very attentive. The next thing I recall is waking up and realizing THE SURGERY WAS COMPLETE!! What?!? This is AMAZING!!!! 3. Day 1 post-op and it seems I'm still on some kind of numbing after effect. It took about 5hr30min for the surgery from start to finish and I don't recall one minute of it as the doc was kind enough to relieve my intense anxiety with sedation. My gums bled all through the night and some today. I keep my rag close by. My life saver is the ice pack. Make sure you have frozen bags of corn or peas!!!! They will be you "go-to"!!! 4. Day 5 post-op. The numbing from the procedure wore off the end of the 2nd day and the doctor has me on 10 days of antibiotics and 10 days of pain killers. I still rely heavily on ice packs. I can tell if I forget my pain med so I won't do that again! My diet is sugar free popsicles, fruit yogurt, scrambled eggs and mashed potatoes... ********* UPDATE ********** _________________ 1 STAR _______________ Here it is 5 months later and I've just completed my 2nd step appointment, which is IMPRESSIONS. This is a 4hr visit where they remove the temps and get an impression of your gums. It's not very glamorous but it is necessary so they can order your prototypes. THIS VISIT WAS A TOTAL DISASTER!! After 2 months of delays I find out that my treatment plan will DISCONTINUE if I do not pay them the final amount due for the entire process. I've paid them close to $28k and there is less than $6k remaining. I explained that since I was not satisfied with the care thus far that I would be more comfortable paying the balance once I got the prototypes in. This caused a HUGE impact and they sent the Executive Director in to strong arm me and tell me they were NOT ALLOWED to move forward until the balance was paid. Keep in mind, they had put me off for 2 months and the last month had been extremely painful as the temp set was agitating the roof of my mouth so much that it was raw. My own GP had to order me something for pain as Clear Choice refused to acknowledge me until this final balance was paid. I was super excited about this process and never imagined after the great initial care that the following care would be so unprofessional. THIS WAS A SHOCKER!! The director told me they would keep working on my teeth until I was satisfied but they simply could not order the prototypes until there is a zero balance due. They seemed oblivious to my concerns. I ask him how I was supposed to trust them to take good care of me and that based on the follow up care thus far I would never recommended them to friends or family. They've set an appointment for the 27th, then cancelled, then confirmed it again and then cancelled it again..... ALL IN 4 HOURS!!! TO BE CONTINUED

He's honest and pleasant to have as the person who pulls your teeth out. I'd recommend the Center for Dental Reconstruction to others, for sure.
