A very understanding and accommodating dental surgeonDAVID, South Africa, 27 07 20

To date, all my consultations for dental implants went well. I have had 3 extractions of which one was invasive dental surgery owing to a broken tooth that had to be removed. Other preparatory procedures have been done to my upper jaw. Dr Huson with over 30 yrs experience was my best choice. A very understanding and accommodating dental surgeon. I did after my first consult decides to look at alternatives but I was grateful to Christina who contacted me to assure me that Dr. Huson will look at the plan to see how best he can address my concerns and not long I was back to begin surgery. The dental clinic has wonderful people like Christina, Sarah and Marguerite to care and facilitate the proceedings for every visit. I am confident that when Dr Huson is finished that my goals would have been reached. Thank you dr, and staff at Silver Oaks Clinic.
