I enjoy having teeth. They are really useful! They've been really good to me. All the masticating I've done in my life, they've always been there, all 32 of them. So you can imagine my utter devastation when efforts to save one of my premolars didn't work and I received word from my dentist that I would need an extraction and implant.
Dr. Luque helped me say farewell to that tooth with speed, efficiency, kindness and persistence. That tooth wasn't an easy extraction. It wanted to stay with me. I wanted to stay with it. With laser focus and battle-ready efficiency Dr. L broke, poked, drilled, cracked and prodded until every last piece was removed. Dissociating from the discomfort, I drifted away to a tropical island, maybe like that Dr. L told me he visited on his recent vacation, all the while listening to the soothing coos of Julieta Venegas and unfamiliar tropical rhythms playing in his office.
After approx. 30min, with a mouthful of gauze, staring at the splintered, bloody fragments of my tooth on the tray, I was saddened but relieved. Farewell tooth, thank you for everything!
And thanks Dr. Luque and his staff for making the procedure as smooth as possible.

Dr. Luque and his staff are amazing.
I went in for a consultation with my brother because it was time to take our wisdom teeth out.
First, we had to full out medical forms which you could do on their computer or by hand on paper. Next, we went in the room to answer a couple more questions and watched a brief education video clip on wisdom teeth. I forgot the lady's name with the curly hair and glasses, but she is terrific! She's so welcoming, friendly and has a great sense of humor. Afterwards, Dr. Luque popped in to examine our teeth and told us that we both had impacted wisdom teeth and that we had the option to be awake or put to sleep during the procedure. Without a doubt we both agreed that we didn't want to be awake for any of this! Although it's a bit hard to understand Dr. Luque because he has an accent and talks pretty fast, he gave us the impression that he knew what he was doing. I needed both my bottom wisdom teeth extracted, one was peeped out and the other was underneath the gum-meaning no sign of the tooth.
On the day of our oral surgery, Dr. Luque and his staff were prepared. I made sure not to eat hours before the surgery (not even water!) and they hooked an IV to my arm. I was really nervous and terrified about what could go wrong, but Dr. Luque assured me that everything would be okay. About 1-2 hours later, when I was "awake", my mouth was filled with cotton pads. Because of the numbing, I didn't feel much pain. A couple of hours went by and it began to hurt a little, but not as much as I thought it would. In fact, the pain level from 1-10, 1 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain, I felt about a 6. Just as the lady told me, the pain would begin on the 5th or 6th day, but still it was about a 6. After 2 weeks from my oral surgery, I was ready to eat normal foods without worrying. When we came back to get checked up, everything was looking great. The stitches were gone and the holes have closed. Dr. Luque is such a friendly dentist. He made my worst fear into a comfortable procedure.
I highly recommend Dr. Luque for a wisdom teeth extraction. Super funny guy!

I found Dr. Luque from his great Yelp reviews and I now know they're all legit. I had 4 wisdom teeth pulled last Saturday and, besides the soft food diet, you'd never know I just had an invasive surgery. I have had zero swelling, even on the day of my surgery, and I felt well enough to go kayaking the very next day. I've been very careful to follow all of my post-op instructions, including taking Ibuprofen every 4 hours, and that may be why I'm healing so fast, but I truly believe Dr. Luque and his team just do a great job of really taking care of their patients.
Upon arrival, I was given gas and an IV sedation and when I woke up an hour later (felt like seconds later) I had no idea I'd even had the surgery. At no point after my surgery was I in any pain, mild jaw discomfort maybe, but that was alleviated by icing it the first few hours.
Highly recommend Dr. Luque and his team! I'm so happy I found them!
