Dr K was recommended by my dentist to have my wisdom teeth pulled. He's relaxing and explains everything about the procedure and what risks are possible. I received very down to earth explanations of care. His office is clean with new equipment. I had to take a second set of xrays from the first i had had made at my dentist's office because they were not clear. Dr K's xrays were extremely clear as he showed me where he would be working and what he could read from the xray. There were two major worries i had about having my teeth pulled. The first was that they were set back in my jaw line far enough that a piece of the bone would have to be removed. The second was that the roots of my teeth went down to/past the nerve. Dr K's credentials helped reassure me that I had chosen the best possible doctor for the surgery. I came off of the anesthesia quite well. My jaw was numb for about 24-36 hours, most likely due to the nerve that runs through it being numb still. This concern went away quickly, even though I was warned it could be like that for up to two weeks in extreme cases. The pain was almost non existant. One side had no pain, the other was about as much as a headache. I always recommend him to friends. Great work
