Ocean and Dr. Lanzon get my top recommendation. I was super nervous about this rear molar tooth extraction. I shouldn’t have been. I have had routine dental cleanings that hurt more than this. They got the medication just right, and worked so smoothly on that tooth that I was feeling fine by the end of the day. The little bleeding that I had stopped within a few hours. There wasn’t any swelling. I took the recommended aspirin the next day, even though I felt that I didn’t need it. A miracle? Maybe. Maybe I was just lucky. No surgeon can create miracles. But a good surgeon backed by a great surgical team can certainly turn lucky into something that feels like a miracle.

100% wonderful! I was having a dental crisis because I kept putting off care I knew I needed. Donna called me back so fast and emailed me the paperwork immediately so we could just get rolling! The office manager approved for me to come in right away! I am visiting in town and couldn't find any appointments for 2 more days! My friend had a really, really old coupon sitting in a drawer and they honored it! I drove in and Dr. McAninch saw me right away! Angela, the dental assistant was incredibly gentle and sweet and talked me through the entire appointment, even holding my hand at one point. I had to have an extraction and the tooth was infected! Dr. McAninch made sure I was numbed up and comfortable as much as possible. Thank you Ocean for taking such great care of me when I failed to take care of myself.

Dr Rivera is very skilled from extraction to the implant. Dr Rivera made me feel comfortable about the procedure and I had no pain during or after the procedure. His office explains the work to be done and your financial obligation. Thank you Dr Rivera and Ocean staff for an A+ experience.
