Dr. Calat is great. He is very attentive and excellent at what he does. You get the sense that he really is a perfectionist, and that is important in the case of Oral Surgery. His staff is also very helpful and nice. I am glad to have been referred to him. He removed my wisdom teeth, and, more recently, gave me an implant when one of my teeth was lost in a bike accident. He turned what was a nightmare into a pleasant experience.

My dentist referred me to Dr. Calet for implants. A friend of mine had already used him and raved about how nice he was and that she never had a problem with his work. I went to see him, and he removed two of my teeth and gave me two implants. I now can affirm everything my friend told me. He was professional, careful, did not promise more than he could deliver, and was extremely considerate. I would highly recommend him to everyone. My only regret is that while he is my (forever) oral surgeon and implant specialist, he is not also my dentist.

I was having pain in the area of a dental implant that was implanted in 2005 by another doctor. I was sure the implant had gone bad and needed to be replaced. I knew replacement would be very costly and very painful due to the placement of the implant near the sinus cavity. My dentist stated the implant would need to be taken out sooner or later as it was only be held together by a thin and retreating amount of bone.

Rather than quickly get me under the knife, which I had fully expected the oral surgeon to recommend, Dr. Calat had me obtain old x-rays from previous dentists and the original oral surgeon who performed the implant surgery initially. After comparing these x-rays with a CAT scan taken by Dr. Calat, he determined that there was in fact significant bone in the area that did not show up on a conventional X-Ray machine. The pain was likely due to some bacteria relating to the location of the implant near the sinus cavity. The pain was gone a few days later, and Dr. Calat stated I will likely have some recurring bacteria in that area due to the placement, that amount of slight periodic pain is far more preferable than ripping out the implant and building a new one. Dr. Calat likely saved me thousands of dollars and a great deal of painful surgery by taking time and consideration in his prognosis. I probably spent about $500 on the x-rays and consultation, but this certainly seems better than spending $1000s of dollars doing an unnecessary complicated surgery.

Of course, its hard to say at the moment whether his prognosis will ultimately be correct. However, given the x-rays he showed me, I have a good degree of confidence he made the right call, and I will follow up with him in a year to make sure the dental implant is still in good shape.

I had acute toothache caused by the wisdomwith the other day and I felt so lukcy that Dr.Calat was my surgeon. He was highly expereinced and nice to talk with, he understood everything and potential problems with my teeth and is very attentive. The surgery process was timely and completely pain-free plus the recovery was fast too. They also had a nice office with easy atmosphere, freindly nurses and assistants who made whole process so easy. They are truly wonderful and don't hesistate go this place if you have any oral health problem.

Dr. Calat was truly amazing. I didn't have to sign a boat-load of paperwork, as the office has online registration that saved me from filling out clipboard after clipboard of my medical history. Dr. Calat and his staff are reassuring, easy to talk to, and answer any and all questions you may have. Their friendly office atmosphere and humor are also great when you're nervous about a procedure. Pain? What pain? I took a couple Motrin for slight discomfort afterwards, but only needed to take the standard antibiotics post-surgery and I was fine. It was one of the best dental appointments I've had. My dentist told me Dr. Calat came highly recommended, and I can see why. Thanks Dr. Calat!
