My upper left molar (tooth #14) was extracted and successfully replaced with an implant by Dr. Lakha. A long-term, chronic infection of the nasal sinus near the tooth cleared up immediately after the extraction of the old tooth. My subsequent implant has been completely successful. Originally, this tooth had a very extensive filling. Then, more than ten years ago, after a root canal by a different dentist but before being crowned, it fractured while eating. Several repairs ensued, including crown replacement, but there was often low-level pain, mostly of the gums, and also a very persistent sinus infection in the maxillary sinus just above the tooth, which led to an almost continual, low-level nasal discharge on the left side. Only after living with this for years did I get a referral from my primary dentist to Dr. Lakha for consideration of an implant. Extraction of the tooth revealed severe chronic infection, but Dr. Lakha was able to cleanse and preserve the socket. I also received some graft material to augment the bone of the socket area. Later, after the implant was done, I returned to my primary dentist for the crown. The final outcome has been excellent in every respect. My thanks to Dr. Lakha and his team!
