Honolulu Periodontics & Implants

Dr Choy rehabilitated my mouth. And he also saved me from decades of dental problems to come.
I presented to Dr Choy in Seattle with dentition that hadn’t had major (nor indeed enough minor) maintenance for a number of years. As well as wide-​spread gingivitis (gum disease which hadn’t particularly troubled me, but did have the potential to cause multiple tooth losses/​deaths in time), I had a tooth that had become infected, died and was now abscessing the bone around it, so needed immediate extraction and infection control. Dr Choy took the offending tooth out both neatly and painlessly, and followed up with a graft to strengthen the supporting bone in preparation for the implant we agreed upon. In addition, there was extensive work below the gumline to eradicate my gingivitis, again carried out without any pain issues.
At every step along the way to the healthier, more in-​control, mouth I now have, Dr Choy was diligent, skilful and communicative. He always intelligibly explained and showed me onscreen what he found. He covered the treatment options and likely outcomes, and then followed through in a way that made me feel that he and I were successful partners in getting my mouth back into the shape to last me several more decades.
One other thing — Dr Choy had to do a number of dental surgeries over the course of my treatment. He was assiduous in pain-​control during these, and remarkably, his gentle work meant that in EVERY case, without exception, I was perfectly comfortable post-​op even without taking the pain medications that he had prescribed. My wife is an ex-​OR nurse, and as such she remarked that the surgeon must have been deft indeed for me to consistently have such comfortable and quick-​healing post-​op experiences. I also appreciated Dr Choy’s follow-​up phone call in the evening after every significant procedure.
If you want a healthier and long-​term trouble-​free mouth (and who wouldn’t?) then I whole-​heartedly recommend Dr Choy as a doctor you can trust for the best experience and the best outcome. I would go to him again without hesitation — such a pity for me he now lives in Honolulu!

I have had the pleasure of having Dr. Choy as my Doctor for my implant procedure. I needed a lot of work on my front tooth and found him to be knowledgeable, responsive and above all, gentle. I could thin of no one better to have this work done by if this work is ever required.
