Oklahoma Center For Implants& Periodontics

Dr. Chris Poore and his staff are top tier. I’m 23 years old and I was referred to him by my mother in law, as I was in need of a gum graft. My initial consultation was very clear, honest, and helpful. From there, I scheduled the surgery which took place in December. The procedure was quick, painless, and I healed up quickly. I am going back for a final graft later this year, and I wouldn’t choose anyone else. I appreciate all of the staff and their help with filing insurance claims and walking me through the steps of this process. It was a breeze! I highly recommend Dr. Poore and his team.

PATIENT BEWARE! If you are considering Dr. Poore for your periodontist needs, read this first. After my initial visit with him, I wrote a 5-star review. When you read my true account of what happened, you will know why I have replaced it with this one. If it were possible, I would give him a NEGATIVE 5. Many months ago, I scheduled an appointment with him because I needed gum grafting on two teeth. My first appointment had to be canceled due to icy weather, so I rescheduled. The day before my then initial consultation, his office called to reschedule because he was not going to be in the office. First red flag, but I made another appointment. After seeing him, I felt confident in my decision (he was referred by my dentist) because he was very nice, took time to explain in detail the procedure, and he seemed to be a caring guy. Every member of his staff was also impressive. My grafting took place on March 9, 2023. In addition to the grafting of two teeth, I had another tooth with a receding gum, but he said it could not be grafted but he could do a “deep clean” on that tooth and I agreed. This appointment was on a Thursday. The script for pain meds was one I am allergic to but was told to take Benadryl with it and I would be fine. That was not the case, so I called his office the next day, which was Friday. Dr. Poore was supposed to be in that day, but was not, so I had to go the entire weekend in pain because he did not call in the prescription. Red flag number two. Nineteen days after the procedure (a Tuesday), I started having a slight pain in the tooth that he had done the deep cleaning on. Each day after, the pain got slightly worse. We were in a different state on vacation, so there was no way I could pop in to see him. By the time we got back home, it was Saturday evening and I was no longer able to chew as the tiniest amount of doing so sent me into orbit. Sunday morning, I called his office voicemail and got his personal cell number. We texted back and forth. He said he would work me in the following day, Monday, and he would assess, call in pain meds and antibiotics. I called his office at 8:15a.m. to see what time I could come in. I was told he WAS NOT coming in that day! Even with the pain meds I had, there was NO relief in my tooth abscess pain throughout the weekend and it was getting worse. In addition, my jaw was swelling up with infection and I could feel it spreading to my ear and throat. They rescheduled me for Wednesday. As I was in the worst pain of my life, I went to my dentist on Monday, and she had to pull the tooth. Now, this deep clean has cost me many days of horrendous pain, the loss of my tooth, time off work and life, and $5000 to have an implant. On Tuesday, I called to cancel my Wednesday appt. with Dr. P. Message not received, so they called me early Wed. to let me know that he WAS NOT going to be in! Are you kidding me?! To their knowledge, nothing had been done yet, but no matter, he was not going to be in the office to help me. Save yourself a ton of pain, money, and time. If you value any or all of these things, find another periodontist.

I have had 4 dental implants total and I wouldn’t go anywhere else but to Dr. Poore and his team. As an RN of 35+ years I look for professionalism and integrity and Oklahoma Center for Implants and Periodontics has both. They are so very welcoming, caring and knowledgeable in every aspect of my dental care. They’re like family.

I have been a patient for many years and this is the only place I will go. Gale is an absolutely fantastic Dental Hygienist and the only person I will go to. She is thorough, attentive to my comfort, friendly and professional. Chris at the front desk is wonderful. Always going above and beyond to help with my numerous questions. Katie, the dental assistant is so bubbly, kind and makes me feel special whenever I see her. I do not know the rest of the staff by name but they are all special. Dr. Poore is an incredible Periodontist and has done an excellent job in getting my mouth healthy and continues to ensure my teeth stay well taken care of. Having dental work is usually not something anyone looks forward to but I actually look forward to my visits. The services and wonderful staff are top notch. I highly recommend to everyone.

Dr. Poore and staff are wonderful! They don’t rush you and do everything they can to make sure everything is as painless and comfortable as possible. Nice to feel like you’re getting such great individual treatment as a patient when so many docs act like you are just a number. I’d give 10 stars if I could :)
