Recent Google reviews
Dr. Ting and his staff did an excellent job with my wisdom teeth extraction surgeries. They answered all of my questions, addressed my concerns, and made sure I was as comfortable as possible during the procedure.
Super nice office with kind and knowledgeable people. The cost was more reasonable than I expected, especially for the quality of care. I chose local anesthesia so I was awake for the procedure and I felt very reassured by Dr. Ting's professionalism.
I had a difficult experience in the past, so I was very scared about having a bone graft, tooth extraction and implants. However, I had absolutely no pain during the surgery. The swelling after surgery was minimal and recovery easy.
