I highly recommend Dr. John Bruce and his team, who truly deserve a 5-star rating. I underwent gum grafting to address gradual gum recession caused by my lower lip's attachment pulling on the gum over decades. The procedure itself was absolutely painless, and their methods kept me so relaxed that I actually fell asleep and dreamed during 99% of it! Recovery was smooth, with only slight soreness. By following their clear post-procedure instructions, I didn't even need pain medication. Dr. Bruce took all of my concerns very seriously and respectfully, and customized my treatment accordingly. Coming from a dental phobic person, have no fear if you need gum grafting from this provider.

Everyone is friendly and caring, very receptive to my questions and concerns. Being one of those in the “dental anxiety” class, I am always stressed about pain but Dr. Bruce and all the technicians have been very sympathetic to my concerns and repeatedly check with me during procedures for my level of comfort. If I could have Dr. Bruce as my dentist I would in a heartbeat. Thank you for listening and always caring about my comfort when I am in your chair.
