Old teeth, New Dentist!

I cannot praise this Dentist enough.  He was so kind and considerate.  He sat down to talk with me.  He looked me in the eye, he smiled, he did not criticize or chastise me for waiting so long to get the work done.
He charged me for one bone graft, yet gave me three.  He is a superstar and if you look closely...you may see a twinkle in his eye!
