Oral Surgery Patient Testimonials

Before finding Dr. Butura I had worked with another facial surgeon for several procedures (Extractions, Implants, and a Sinus Lift). When I needed another extraction and implant I shopped around and found Dr. Butura's office. Wish I'd found them sooner! The consult was clear and concise. Dr. Butura answered all my questions and put me at ease with detailed explanations of work to be done and what to expect. They went out of their way to accommodate me and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Doc & staff! Outstanding!

Having my wisdom teeth removed later in life than is normally recommended I was very apprehensive and my anxiety was working overtime. However, after the first consultation I was set at ease by the friendly, personable yet straight forward demeanor of the staff and Doctor. I was efficiently told what to expect in terms of the surgery itself and after. They were also very patient with any questions I had before and after the procedure. Dr. Butura and his staff have my highest recommendation.

My visits have included an extraction, a bone graft, and a dental implant. While many dentists can perform these services, I'm sold on the wisdom of going to a practitioner who does this work on a daily basis. I have nothing but praise for my experiences at the Butura Oral and Dental Implant Surgery office. Without hesitation, I would recommend Dr Butura to others!

I needed 4 extractions and I was terrified (I hadn’t been to the dentist in YEARS, due to fear, so my teeth were in bad shape). I chose to be sedated because I didn’t want to be awake and have anxiety. During the consultation, Dr. Butura was friendly and addressed any concerns I had. I also received prescriptions that day which gave me time to get them filled before surgery. He made me feel at ease. His staff members are very nice as well. The day of surgery, I was called in a few minutes after arrival. I was offered a blanket because it was cold, which was a very nice gesture. Dr. Butura entered the room and explained the procedure again. He placed the IV into my arm and it wasn't even a minute later that I was already asleep. I woke up about an hour later, surgery was done. My recovery was great! I went to the movies the same night 🙂 I had very minimal swelling. I followed the prescriptions and only used the ibuprofen for pain. I was so happy that I anticipated a lot of pain but didn’t have it! That’s a pretty good let down to have. I highly recommend Dr. Butura. My experience there was more than what I could have hoped for! Thank you!

I recently had my torus mandibular, excess bone in lower jaw, removed. I had put off having this done for years. The bones had grown so much that it was affecting my speech as well as my oral hygiene.Dr. Butura and his staff were amazing! My recovery was much easier than I thought it would be, and they were supportive ever step of the way. I live in Prescott and plan on driving to Phoenix to see Dr. Butura if I ever need any kind of oral surgery in the future. Thank you so much Dr. Butura and your staff!!!

VERY pleased with Dr. Butura office and surgery! I am in a accelerated nursing program and was having extreme tooth pain. I called the office and they were able to get me in within the week, scheduled surgery around my VERY BUSY schedule and was VERY pleased with the surgery itself. I was able to only take pain medication the night of surgery and than was free of all medication except the antibiotic! I do not have any family in AZ as I am here for school and they took exceptional care of me! I am very pleased and would recommend EVERYONE! thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

I was referred to Dr. Butura for my wisdom teeth removal and it was an outstanding experience. I contacted his office and got an appointment that same afternoon to go over my X Rays, pricing, and insurance coverage. Dr. Butura explained the procedure thoroughly and then scheduled me for the extractions immediately after I signed all the paper work. On the day of my procedure the staff was super patient with me and helped calm my nerves. They constantly made sure I was safe and even helped my dad walk me to the car afterwards. Dr. Butura took excellent care of me and prescribed me with all the needed medications to prevent pain, swelling, and infection. The day after my procedure I even received a courtesy call from one of the receptionists asking if I was doing okay, I could honesty not believe that they took the time to do that and it was a very nice touch. My follow up appointment was today and just like every other time I visited the office, the wait time was minimal and Dr. Butura was direct and to the point. I didn’t have any trouble with my recovery and I was back to work in 2 days, it was great. Lastly, it is important to mention that there were never any hidden fees, I was given an exact amount before scheduling the procedure and that is exactly what I ended up paying, which is unbelievable considering many other places end up having add on fees that aren’t even broken down to explain what they mean. Overall I am so pleased I went with Dr. Butura and would recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and caring oral surgeon.

Confession of a confirmed "antidentite" (a person who hates going to a dentist) In Aug 2019 I was informed that I had a tooth that was split in two from top to bottom. The dentist said it would become infected and needed to be removed. He further said that because of the location the removal would need to be done by an oral surgeon. Now in my mental filing system "oral surgeon" is filed right next to "assassin"......so I was not pleased at this news. When I got to my initial meeting with Dr Butura the people in the office were extremely pleasant, efficient and friendly. (I wondered if they were just trying to prepare me for the ordeal ahead....but no they are really wonderful) Dr Butura explained what the options for treatment were...he was detailed and clear...and answered any and all questions. (Unfortunately he gently, but firmly rejected my option of a couple drops of Gorilla glue and a band around the tooth......I made this in jest, but he said some have actually tried it; unfortunately with severe negative consequences.) There was no rush, as is so often the case. He was patient, clear and reassuring. The day of my feared execution..... When i arrived the staff was very friendly and reassuring that this would be easy. The Bible says: "It is appointed unto man once to die" and I wondered if this was going to be my appointment....... Dr Butura came in and said "lets take a look". He rubbed something around the tooth and walked out. He returned in a few minutes and said: "open wide"....It was then I saw the deadly needle. he spent a few seconds doing something then he said; "OK... I'll be back in 15 minutes". I asked him when he was going to give me the dreaded shot? He replied he just did.....The shots were one of my biggest fears, and he did it with NO PAIN. He is the absolute best at giving shots I have ever met. I was now beginning to think I might actually survive the whole procedure. He came back and once again said: "open wide". He said you will feel a little pressure, but no pain.........A couple minutes later he repeated this......again pressure, but no pain. A minute later he stepped back and said; We're done". I could hardly believe it.....I not only survived....I felt fine.....no pain!!!!! The PA explained in detail what to do for the next several days. On the way out all the staff wished me well. I got a follow-up phone call the next morning. This was the most positive dental experience i have ever had!!! I whole heartedly recommend Dr Butura and his team. PS In my mental filing system I have moved Dr Butura away from "assassin" to two files down from "Guardian Angel".

The staff at Dr. Butura's office is fantastic! I had all four wisdom teeth done here. I was nervous about the procedure but once I met the surgeon and staff there I knew I was in good hands. It's a very professional place and very caring! I am very happy I was referred here and would highly recommend to anyone!
