Dr. Shah and his team are awesome. I had to have 2 of my wisdom teeth pulled out and was mega nervous when I went. Dr. Shah explained everything to me of what was going on with my teeth and what he was going to do. He made sure I was comfortable and the procedure was so quick! I’ve never had such a great experience at a dental office! :)
