Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide a durable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, restoring both function and aesthetics. Our team uses 3D imaging for precise placement, ensuring long-term success and natural-looking results.
Smile XZ
Smile XZ is a proprietary All-on-4 method using four implants to support a full-arch denture. Developed by Dr. Collier, it eliminates bone grafting needs and allows same-day teeth placement. The in-house lab creates custom prosthetics, ensuring immediate stability and aesthetics for patients with missing teeth.
IV Sedation Dentistry
IV sedation provides deep relaxation for anxious patients during dental procedures. Administered intravenously, it allows instant adjustment of sedation levels while maintaining patient responsiveness. This technique ensures pain-free, stress-free experiences for complex or lengthy treatments like implants.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic services include veneers, teeth whitening, and smile makeovers to address stains, chips, and misalignment. Using premium materials like porcelain, we create customized solutions that enhance aesthetics while maintaining natural function and durability for confident, lasting smiles.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative care addresses damaged or missing teeth through crowns, bridges, and dentures. We focus on restoring function and preventing further decay or gum disease. Advanced techniques and biocompatible materials ensure durable, comfortable solutions that mimic natural teeth.

Questions
What is Smile XZ?
Smile XZ is a proprietary All-on-4 technique using four implants to support a full-arch denture, developed by Dr. Collier. It eliminates bone grafting and allows same-day teeth placement with natural aesthetics.
Does dental implant placement hurt?
No. Local anesthesia and IV sedation ensure pain-free procedures. Patients remain relaxed and comfortable throughout treatment, with post-op care minimizing discomfort.
Are financing options available?
Yes. We partner with CareCredit, Cherry, and Proceed Finance to offer flexible payment plans, making implant and cosmetic dentistry accessible to qualified patients.
What are zirconia implants?
Zirconia implants are metal-free, biocompatible alternatives to titanium. They offer seamless aesthetics with white, tooth-colored prosthetics, ideal for patients with metal sensitivities.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, implants can last a lifetime. Crowns and dentures may require replacement every 10-15 years, but regular checkups ensure long-term success and oral health.
Can I get same-day implants?
Yes. Qualified patients receive immediate teeth placement using Smile XZ or All-on-6 techniques, supported by our in-house lab for rapid, precise restorations.
