    Dr. Drennen explained the procedures clearly and checked to make sure I understood. He responded quickly when I had follow up questions after the procedure. He made me feel comfortable about the entire process.

    Visited to assess options where gum had receeded exposing root. Dr. Drennen was confident and provided plan to tackle problem and save tooth. Surgery was as expected with antibiotics and pain releavers for a week after. Dr Drennen called next day to check on me and that was appreciated.
