Dr. Howard and his team are awesome. I had two implants and 2 teeth extracted done successfully. The team is compassionate and makes you feel very comfortable having complex dental procedures done. Great experience each visit!

I was dreading having two teeth extracted. I made my appointment with Dr. Howard with more than a little bit of apprehension. I did the procedure under sedation and it was painless and it seemed to be done very quickly. In fact, I mumbled "you have to do the other one" to Dr. Howard and he laughingly assured me that he did both. It has been a few weeks and it is healing very well. Doris at the front desk is a joy on the phone and to greet you when you arrive. Also, Amanda is an absolute SWEETHEART. She works wonders taking your mind off of the fact that you're there for oral surgery. Highly recommended.

I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed. From the initial consult to follow up appointment Dr. Howard and his staff were very professional and kind. The actual procedure took only 30 minutes. The office even called me later in the day to check on how things were going. I would highly recommend Dr. Howard and his team.

I had three wisdom teeth removed a few months ago and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ve had no complications and am grateful for the excellent care. The procedure was clearly explained, and Dr. Howard and his entire team were professional, kind, and caring throughout the process.

I put off my wisdom teeth removal for years due to my anxiety as they were complicated extractions. Majority of dentist/surgeons refused my removals due to the risk of hitting a nerve but Dr. Howard was confident and did an amazing job. Dr. Howard and his staff were so kind and understanding throughout the whole process. I truly appreciate them for their patience and their professionalism. 10/10 would recommend.
