I've been a patient of Dr Gutta twice now, the first time at his Midland office and the second time…read moreat his Odessa office. He removed an impacted wisdom tooth for me in 2015, and he removed a broken molar, did a bone graft, and installed a post for a future implant in December of 2020. He also removed a second (thankfully I only developed two) impacted wisdom tooth that was trying to dig its way into my sinus cavity on the same visit in December 2020. Both times, he has been happy to explain in detail what he was doing and why it was needed, what medications he was prescribing or not prescribing and why, and what he recommended for future treatment. He hasn't tried to push for any additional procedures, with the exception of a letter letting me know that he had started offering cosmetic surgery such as face lifts in 2016, about a year after my original visit. Yes, his work is expensive. So is every other oral surgeon out there. My first extraction with him, in 2015, cost a little less than $1200. My second set of extractions, bone graft, and post, in 2020, cost a little over $4300. The abutment that he'll do before it's ready for a crown is set to cost $220, and then another dentist will take over to do the crown. All of my visits have been done under anesthesia, since local anesthetics don't work well for me, so that's contributed to my costs. All of my dental work has been paid out of pocket as well, since I don't have dental insurance. Yes, he can be a little bit abrupt, and he is very blunt- he doesn't pull punches when explaining what's wrong or how you've contributed to the problem. I can see how some people might interpret that as rude, but he's never been rude to me. He told me flat out that if I don't take better care of my teeth, I'll end up needing more pulled or replaced, and it'll be sooner rather than later. I've never heard him yell at anyone, cuss at anyone, or berate anyone. Most surgeons have a degree of arrogance, so maybe I've just written it off as that, but I've had someone with me to drive me home after each appointment, and they didn't see any rudeness from him either. All in all, I feel that I've gotten solid care from Dr Gutta and his staff. Obviously I hope not to need his care often, but I have absolutely no hesitation recommending him to others, and I intend to use his practice in future if and when I need an oral surgeon again.

My daughter had what we think was an infection caused by a broken tooth. Mind you she is anxious…read moreand extremely fearful of dentists and needles. I appreciate that Dr. Gutya was kind and gentle with her. As of today she is on the mend after what could have been a much more traumatic experience and doing well! Thank you for the patience and understanding of my fearful lady child and making sure we don't have to go through this again!
