Our Featured Treatments

Tooth Extractions

Severely damaged teeth can compromise your smile and limit your food choices. While our goal is to salvage teeth, when possible, tooth extractions are sometimes necessary. Following any extractions, we can rebuild your smile with dental implants. Dental implants are a versatile, permanent solution to tooth loss. We can replace individual teeth, several teeth in a row, or even reconstruct your entire smile using full mouth dental implants.

Facial Aesthetics

We’re proud to offer adjunctive therapies to enhance the aesthetics of your smile. With Botox® and dermal fillers, facial rejuvenation can give you tighter, more youthful skin and a brighter smile. Facial aesthetic treatments complement the dream smile we create with your full mouth dental implants.
