At first meeting, Dr Pawlowski seems like a nice guy. What he is not is a good periodontist. I first went to see him for a crown lengthening and everything went fine. So when I needed an implant I went to him despite my dentist recommendation of a different periodontist. I told Dr Pawlowski that I was very fearful of nerve damage and he told me I could get a CT scan (at additional expense of course) to give him the most details of my mouth. So I did that. Fast forward to a few days after the surgery. The bottom left part of my mouth continued to be numb so I went back to see him. I was told that the xray looked fine and that the numbness would go away. After another week I insisted on another CT scan. This was done by an outside company and here are the highlights:
3. Failed endosseous implant
4. Implant fixture impinging on inferior alveolar canal/nerve
That's right - he drilled the implant right into my nerve and on top of that the implant is in crooked. On the Dept of Health website you can look at his credentials: https://fortress.wa.gov/doh/providercredentialsearch/ProviderDetail_1.aspx?CredentialIdnt=128689
He has done this before. Do not go to him.
