Honestly I was a little uneasy about the start of this procedure; heck who wouldn’t be, not exactly on my list of top ten adventures!!! But Dr. LaPorta is the B E S T and his team is, too, from his assistant Isabel to the reception…professional kind and caring! Dr. LaPorta was great; we had great conversation throughout; he actually understood my garbled speech! Seriously I had no pain; did not hear cracking of the tooth extraction; very professional! I would highly recommend Dr. LaPorta and his team; luv luv luv them! Going here is like going to see an old friend...honestly!! Perfection at it’s finest!!

I was referred to another periodontist, but on a recommendation from a family member, chose Dr LaPorta for my periodontal and implant treatment. I travel from out of state and know my hour long ride is worth it. I needed to have my top teeth replaced with an implant supported denture. He explained the process in a clear manner that I could understand. I knew what to expect and there were no surprises. He is truly professional, gentle and kind. His staff was so personable. They were more than willing to help with my scheduling issues. I highly recommend Dr LaPorta, “you will be in good hands.”
