Wonderful at his job!

I have a hard time with getting work done in the "dental" chair. It always gives me anxiety. I had to get a tooth pulled and it turned out I needed a bone graft as well. I can say that Dr. Heggland made me feel comfortable and made me forget my fears. He kept me informed of what was going to happen before it happened and made sure I was still content during the procedure. I couldn't believe how quick the transition was from getting the tooth pulled to the bone graft being completed. The communication between him and his team is astounding and made for the most comfortable appointment I've had in a very long time.
