A best dental surgeon!!! I had three wisdom teeth, including one partially impacted, extracted by Dr. Yamada, it was an amazingly easy experience. He was very efficient, before I realizing it, the teeth were out. The whole process took less than 30 minutes. He made it as pain-free as possible. I believe, for local anesthesia, he administered topical anesthetics before injections to the gum. The most comforting aspect was that Dr. Yamada kept communicating with, encouraging, and closely monitoring me throughout the procedure. I had an early morning appointment. When finished, as walking out of the office to the parking lot, I felt completely comfortable as if nothing had happened. So instead of driving home to rest, I drove straight to work and stayed at work the whole day. As till bed time, the pain didnt come  I was surprised - because with my previous wisdom tooth extraction by another dentist ten years ago, I experienced severe pain 3 hours later. On top of all his good qualities, his care for me didnt stop with the extractions. Since then, he has always given me prompt help and advice whenever needed. A great doctor!!! If you need a dental surgeon in the La Jolla San Diego area, dont miss him-I hope youll be as satisfied.
