Last Thursday evening, my future sone-in-laws permanent... retainer, removed itself from his mouth. It was not painful but very uncomfortable. There was an extreme amount of glue remaining. The next morning I set out to find a dentist or orthodontist available to fix, or clean up his mouth. As you are aware for those that live is Grass Valley, dentist or orthodontist on a Friday, impossible. I left messages everywhere. To my surprise, an orthodontist at Cater Galiente, by the name of Craig Christianson, returned my call personally. He happened to be in the office doing paperwork, when he heard my message. He saw us, on a Friday, at 12:30 pm. Repaired and and cleaned up what was left behind. He was kind, he was funny, he made him relaxed, and my son-in-law said it was the best dental or orthodontic appointment he had ever had. I highly recommend Cater Galiente Orthodontics for anyone. Craig was amazing, and gave up his time on a Friday. Wonderful place.read more
