Surgeon Dr. Goudreau did an awesome job on the surgery!! Dr. Theis likewise has been just as awesome in putting together my final permanent arches. Both are very patient and understanding, thorough, and not in a rush! Highly recommend them for everything from a single implant to full arch restoration. Staff likewise is very friendly and helpful!!!
