One of my implants was a front tooth...so, it was traumatic as well. Dr. Thanik and his staff made this experience as stress free and tolerable as it could possibly be. He was very compassionate and understanding to my situation. He used everything available to make my experience pleasant.

I'm very thankful that I went to him and would gladly recommend him to anyone in need of similiar services!!!

Sincerely,

My initial consultation was quick, but thorough and informative. He explained that he thought he would have 90% success rate, how the procedure would go and what to expect. He took pre-op photos and sent me to the friendly front desk to schedule my surgery appointment, get an estimate, and get the pain meds ordered in advance of the surgery. His staff is very friendly and helpful.

The day of surgery was easy. He was on-time. It only took an hour. It was painless. He kept me informed of what was going on. I took a pain pill right after we were done. He explained again what I could expect and scheduled my two-week follow up appointment. He also gave me very thorough, easy instructions on how to care for the area in which I had surgery.

Once the local anesthetic wore off it was painful that day, but the pain medicine did a fine job taking care of it. And the following day I did not need anything more than Advil.

It was absolutely incredible: no pain, no stress, fast and easy.

He is very honest (he did not charged me for bone graft even if I was prepared for it and had no idea if he did it or not).

Overall my impression is very positive and I would recommend him for everybody who needs an implant done by a specialist. The cost is average (he is not the cheapest but also not the most expensive one, Ive seen worst), he offers a discount for those who make the full payment.

His staff is friendly, caring and knowledgeable, as well, which makes for a positive experience overall.

Portland is very fortunate to have such a dedicated and talented doctor practicing in this area and I have the highest regard for Dr. Thanik and his staff.

I am already playing my harmonica again, which was very important to me.. I was very anxious about this procedure and Dr Thanik was very kind to me.

Besides his strong sense of ethics, Dr. Thanik has the patience to explain treatment options clearly, reassure even the most frightened patient, and convey a feeling of being in safe, competent hands. I appreciated his follow-up call the day after my surgery, although I felt so good I wasn't home to receive it!

Dr. Thanik's staff are terrific, too--very friendly, competent, and reassuring. They obviously think a lot of their boss!

I would recommend Dr. Thanik without reservation.

Although I had been referred to Dr. Thanik I still paid for several evaluations before settleing on Dr. Thanik. He is the best. You can save your money looking around unless, of course, like me you just need to.

When I had concerns many months after my bone grafting about the material used (which he had given me all my options at the time) he promptly sent me detailed records and explanations.

His office staff are a joy to work with they have all been there for a very long time and all are senstive, mature, and most responsive to all of your concerns.
