Real Patient Story: Ceramic Implant Journey

In this video, a patient shares their experience with ceramic dental implants, healing, and whole-body health improvements.

Lotus Dental receives my highest recommendation. My tooth extraction preparing me for a ceramic implant was a wonderful experience all around. I appreciate the incredible skill, use of the latest technologies, and especially the very caring, even spiritual, approach that Dr. DeLong provides. The office is warm and welcoming with all appointment and billing requests. "Holistic" is not just a word here, as Dr. DeLong's unique practice and caring for his patients flows through everyone in the office right into your own feeling of safety, confidence, and healing.

Daniel
I found Dr. DeLong almost 5 years ago when I needed a tooth extraction and ceramic implant. I looked for a holistic dentist who would consider my health issues, allergies and emotional wellbeing. Dr. DeLong and his staff have provided excellent holistic care, service and guidance. They are always thoughtful, engaged, and use innovative technology and products, which create a pleasant in-office experience. My dental hygiene is the best it's been and I'm very happy with my ceramic implant.

Lauren
Lotus Dental is exceptional in every way! When I needed a molar extracted, I was lucky to find Lotus, and Dr Han. Dr Han carefully extracted the molar, using advanced techniques that take more time, but preserve bone. Recovery has been smooth and speedy. On the way to getting a ceramic implant, each office visit has been a calm, kind, thoughtful experience, taking care of more details of my dental health than I knew there were! The Lotus team continually invests in the newest, most advanced, most health-promoting techniques and tools, while caring for patients with the greatest attention to their comfort. Amazing! I wish everyone could experience the level of care offered by Lotus Dental Wellness!

Barbara
I can't thank the team at Lotus Dental enough for their incredible care and expertise. I've done multiple extractions and implants and they made each experience as comfortable and smooth as possible. I've been amazed how short my healing time was after each procedure. Dr. DeLong and staff were patient, attentive and go above and beyond. Highly recommend Lotus Dental.
