Clayton Jeffrey R DDS

I went to Dr. Clayton wanting to have a tooth implant in 2013 because one tooth was cracked. First he needed to pull out my broken tooth. That was when my nightmare began. He could not pull it out. He somehow broke my broken tooth. Then he used a drill to powder it. My jaw and head suffered from the vibrations. For 45 minutes, he struggled with my bloody tooth and mouth. Finally he declared victory after an hour.
You would think that he would rest me from this trauma. No, before I could say anything (I could not because my tongue was numbed) he immediately started «bone crafting», which I later learned was totally unnecessary in my situation. Basically, he cut open my gum and put some bone powder there and then sewed up. I was swollen for 10 days from poor tooth pulling and this crafting. I felt gritty bone bits in my mouth and it was disgusting. I learned that bone crafting was not covered by my insurance and I paid $ 400 for this «crafting».
Meantime I felt my tooth next to the tooth he pulled painful too. I went to see Dr. Clayton and asked him why the next tooth was hurting too. He put on a stern face and told me to see my primary dentist as the next tooth was not in his jurisdiction.
My primary dentist told me the next tooth got cracked somehow and now I needed 2 tooth implants. I went to Dr. Clayton with one broken tooth and now I ended up with 2.
Afraid of another tooth pulling trauma, I found another oral surgeon Dr. Wang in the same office complex, a couple of buildings away. I was shocked that it took Dr. Wang less than 10 seconds to pull out my next broken tooth. I asked Dr. Wang if he needed to do the bone craft. He told me he wanted to see how my bone healed. If it healed well, I did not need bone crafting. Later, Dr. Wang did not do the bone crafting because it was not needed. This is what an ethical doctor should do– to care about a patient’s pain and not to do unnecessary medical procedures for the doctor’s self enrichment.
I had another wisdom tooth bothering me. Again, in less than 10 seconds, Dr. Wang pulled it out. This is what a skilled oral surgeon should do.

I know going to the dentist doesn’t actually make your list of favorites, but if you need a great dentist, that is caring, courteous, and has a very pleasant, supportive, and knowledgable staff, I highly recommend this place…

I can’t say enough good things about this dental practice. Dr. Clayton and staff are kind and caring. They answered ALL my questions and made me feel very comfortable when I had to have an extraction in preparation for an implant.
I would definitely recommend them esp. if you are uncomfortable with dental things.
