01/21/2026 I was in and out of the chair faster than getting a cavity filled it seemed like. I left the office with a tooth implant and bone graft.
Wow! Seeing advanced X-rays of your skull and all your teeth was certainly a new one as well. Science plus experience rocks! Thank you Dr. Lacrampe! Doug Rotermund Google

01/06/2026 First visit to Dr. Lacrampe's office today and everyone was friendly and professional. Having my teeth worked on is not something I enjoy but Dr. Lacrampe and his crew make it more than tolerable. Marty Molina Google

01/02/2026 It's really hard to find a good periodontist and Dr. Lacrampe is definitely my future go-to. He and his staff are highly personable and while they are expensive, the quality was top notch. If you need a gum graft, I highly recommend Dr. Lacrampe. Adithi Rajapuram Google

12/17/2025 I spent $200 to be told nothing could be done. 10 minutes. No advice given to what I might try to do. Disappointed that no course of action was given. So now I do what? Find someone who has more capacity and more empathy for helping me. This guy took the money and ran. Kendall Eric Sparks Google

11/03/2025 I saw periodontist Dr Etienne P. Lacrampe in consultation for a resorption tooth defect and his office requested that I provide a review.
On 8/4/25, my primary dentist found a resorption tooth defect, took x-rays and a photo, then referred me to Dr Lacrampe. This asymptomatic defect was found incidentally and the tooth was viable. Even before my consultation with Dr Lacrampe 2 days later on 8/6, his office manager relayed Dr Lacrampe's preliminary opinion, that he would probably recommend tooth extraction followed by an implant. On 8/6 I saw Dr Lacrampe, he did an exam and a CBCT. He gave me a diagnosis of "extensive invasion of resorption" and he felt the long-term prognosis for the tooth was "poor to hopeless". Dr Lacrampe recommended extraction and implant as the only reasonable option. Since I am a retired healthcare professional, I pushed him for other possible options. He quoted my wife and I a "15-20% success at 1 year" involving multiple specialty procedures with a root canal required first. Clearly, this was not a reasonable alternative option. I then sought another opinion at the UCSF Dental program. My primary dentist and myself were so glad I did!
After preliminary consultation with UCSF Dental, the consensus felt that extraction and implant was not an ideal first approach. UCSF felt that my tooth could be saved by a combined multidisciplinary approach. Their review of the CBCT and other records was that the resorptive defect was external, localized and not extensive into the pulp and did not need an initial root canal.
Thereafter, I had a same day combined procedure involving a UCSF restorative dentist and periodontist. A gum flap was created, the resorptive granulation tissue removed, the defect filled and gum flap sutured. My recovery was painless, uneventful and the gums well healed. The prognosis for procedure-free tooth survival is excellent.
UCSF Dental saved me an extraction and implant, with no further procedures planned, all at a much lower cost than that proposed by Dr Lacrampe. My primary dentist was surprised at Dr Lacrampe's recommendation for extraction and implant, but also glad I received the best dental care at UCSF.
I would be very wary if I saw Dr Lacrampe for tooth resorption and he recommended extraction followed by implantation. Paul and Sarah Fisch Google
