Expert Solutions, Transformative Care

Dental Implants

Missing and severely damaged teeth can compromise your smile and limit your food choices. Left unreplaced, missing teeth lead to bone loss and increase your risks for other health problems. 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.

Orthognathic Surgery

Misaligned jaws strain your jaw joints, teeth, and supporting bone. Left uncorrected, this can lead to pain, bone loss, and significant loss of function. Orthognathic surgery addresses many jaw issues. We also offer surgical treatments for TMJ and bone grafting to rebuild your jawbone for dental implants.

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Wisdom teeth extractions are most people’s first surgical experience. Impacted wisdom teeth can seriously damage the bone of your jaw and the neighboring teeth. While this is a routine, relatively low-risk procedure, you need a skilled oral surgeon near you to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
