Dr Cantner makes what could be a painful experience very tolerable. He is an expert on extractions and implants. Minimal discomfort. Very caring towards his patients with follow up phone calls post surgery. The assistants and staff are top notch. Would recommend making the trip to Old Saybrook if you are from out of town. Worth the time and travel.

Although I've taken good care of my teeth over the years, genetics and other factors have led me to need the services of a periodontist, and as someone with pretty severe dental anxiety, Dr. Cantnor is the only periodontist I will go to for periodontal work. His skill and expertise combined with his calming and pleasant nature sprinkled with a good sense of humor makes unpleasant dental work more than tolerable. He takes the time to listen to my worries and concerns and explains the procedures with just the right amount of information in understandable terms without making me feel like I'm anxious for no reason.

He calls after hours after a difficult procedure to check on how you're doing, and lets you know his availability is just a phone call away if you have a problem or concern. His assistants are patient and empathetic and helpful at putting me at ease as well. Office staff are pleasant and helpful and are knowledgeable with insurance questions.
