Did I want to consider dentures at age fifty? No way! Instead, I chose to have dental implants after a consultation with Dr. Randy Nolf of Stroudsburg, PA. As a child and young woman, I had a "nice smile" and received many compliments about my teeth. However, a combination of aging, genetics, and periodontal disease caused me to decide the future of my dental health. Tooth loss and deteriorating bridgework were major factors in my decision to go with dental implants. Having a healthy mouth and nice smile are also important in my profession as an educator along with the longevity of implants over dentures.

First, Dr. Nolf treated my periodontal issues of my upper and lower jaws. Next, a CT scan used in conjunction with a computer-generated surgical guide planned placement of the implants prior to surgery. Finally, I received four dental implants on my lower jaw in one short office visit.
I am very pleased with my choice to have dental implants. I feel more
healthy, beautiful, comfortable, and confident. Throughout the procedure Dr. Nolf explained each part of the process, was openly willing to answer questions, and showed a true sense of commitment and professionalism. He coordinated with my dentist frequently. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Nolf for any periodontal treatment.

"ouch", that's going to be a painful experience.
However, when you factor in Dr. Randy Nolf, the experience was actually "pain-free". I had no bleeding and no lower jaw soreness after the procedure. My gum was a little tender, but that was the extent of it. I took two advil after the procedure, and that was all I needed. There was no reason to take any prescription pain killers or medication. Before he put anything in my mouth, including his fingers, Dr. Nolf went over the entire procedure with me, step by step, and even told me about the risks (of which there were only a few). His pinpoint placement of the implant made sure the only real risk (possible numbness in my cheek/jaw area)
wasn't even an afterthought. Besides a very pleasant "chair-side" manner, Dr. Nolf is a craftsman and a true professional in every sense of the word. He is someone you can trust, and I would classify him as a "precision periodontist".
Sincerely,
Bob Matthews
