Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth by integrating titanium posts into the jawbone, providing stable support for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This solution prevents bone loss while restoring natural chewing function and aesthetics. Dr. Starr has placed thousands of implants since 1989, using guided surgery technology for precise placement.
LANAP Therapy
LANAP uses precision laser technology to treat periodontal disease without incisions or sutures. This minimally invasive procedure removes infected tissue, stimulates bone regeneration, and promotes gum healing with less discomfort and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery. Patients typically resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening removes excess gum tissue to expose more tooth structure for restorative or cosmetic purposes. This procedure creates optimal conditions for crowns or fillings while improving smile aesthetics. We use advanced dental lasers for precise tissue modification and enhanced healing outcomes.
All-on-4 Implants
All-on-4 replaces entire dental arches using four strategically placed implants that maximize bone contact without grafting. This solution provides immediate function and aesthetics for patients with significant bone loss. The technique offers similar benefits to traditional implants with reduced treatment time and cost.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer multiple sedation options including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation to ensure comfortable treatment experiences. These methods help patients with dental anxiety receive necessary care without stress or discomfort. Our team tailors sedation protocols to individual patient needs and procedure complexity.
