Expert Solutions, Transformative Care

Dental Implants

Missing teeth can compromise your smile and make it hard to enjoy various nutritious foods. Dental implants are a versatile, permanent solution to tooth loss. A single dental implant can replace individual missing teeth, an implant-supported bridge can replace several teeth in a row, and full mouth dental implants can fully rebuild your smile with strength, stability, and natural-looking beauty.

Zygomatic Dental Implants

Being turned away from the life-changing prospect of rebuilding your smile with dental implants can be discouraging. With Dr. Carey’s advanced training, we may be able to offer hope to patients with severe bone loss that prevents conventional dental implant placement. Zygomatic dental implants could answer your need.

Orthognathic Surgery

From complex tooth extractions, wisdom teeth removal, and dental implant placements to corrective jaw surgeries and facial trauma reconstruction, oral surgery is pivotal in restoring oral health, function, and aesthetics. Led by skilled surgeon Dr. Carey and equipped with cutting-edge techniques, oral surgery ensures patients receive precise, personalized care for various oral and facial concerns.

Facial Trauma

Facial trauma, often resulting from accidents or injuries, requires specialized care from an experienced oral surgeon. With a deep understanding of facial anatomy and surgical expertise, Dr. Carey can skillfully address fractures, lacerations, and other traumatic injuries to restore function and aesthetics. Trusting Dr. Carey’s precision and comprehensive approach ensures optimal recovery and restoring facial health.
