Mr. Arthur O' Connor did a fantastic job on my front tooth . As you can imagine I was very nervous about getting one of my front teeth removed and an implant put in its place. Mr O' Connor was confident that it would feel and look very real. He was right. He explained what the process was going to involve as well as giving me the financial summary upfront. He made me feel relaxed throughout the process and was obviously very dedicated to doing a brilliant job. The Process takes time as your gums have to heal after each step and Mr O' Connor explained each step carefully to me. I highly recommend this Dentist and his work. I wish him and his team the very best in the future.
