    ★★★★★
    Dr. Thunell performed a sinus lift and placed four implants for me, and the improvement in my overall health and smile has been remarkable. I'm truly grateful for the care and expertise that went into these procedures. The outcome was worth the cost and time. He and his staff are the best!

    ★★★★★
    I’ve been going to Dr Thunell for 10 years. My body immune system went crazy and I kept losing my back teeth. Dr Thunell is the best not only in oral surgery but as a compassionate dentist I’ve ever met. I have complete faith in him as a person also. He teaches his craft and honestly is exceptional at what he does. He’s a great man to me. I recommend him highly. Thanks Dr for your skill.

    ★★★★★
    I was so nervous going in for my gum graft. Dr. Thunell was so kind, and explained very clearly what he was going to be doing. I felt very safe, and knew that I was in good hands. The procedure was way better and way less painful than I had thought it was going to be. I also loved being greeted by Jill at the front desk. She was so sweet, and made the check in process so easy. I was very, very, pleased with Dr. Thunell and his staff and would recommend him to anyone!

    I work for a general dentist, Dr. David Powell. I have been referring to Dr. Thunell for all Periodontal needs many years. I am also a patient of his and would not consider going anywhere else. I recently had an implant and I love it! I find him and his staff to be competent, compassionate and very knowledgeable in all areas. I have no complaints from patients-just praise! I love this office and highly recommend!

    ★★★★★
    Dr. Thunnel preformed a gum graft on me and, although I was slightly nervous at first, it was a very comforting and friendly experience. Dr. Thunnel is calm, gentle, highly qualified and works very efficiently while ensuring high quality patient care. The follow up care is great and really shows that the staff and Dr. Thunnel care about their patients. I would recommend this office and staff to anyone in need of periodontal treatments.!
