Dental Implants
Our dental implant services restore missing teeth with natural-looking, permanent solutions. Using advanced XNav guided technology, we ensure precise placement that preserves jawbone structure and facial contours. Patients receive immediate temporary restorations, with final crowns placed after healing.
Same-Day Crowns
Experience complete crown restoration in one visit using our CAD/CAM system. We eliminate temporary crowns by digitally scanning, designing, and milling ceramic restorations chairside. This technology ensures perfect color matching and seamless integration with natural teeth.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer tailored sedation options for anxious patients, including nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. Certified providers monitor vital signs throughout treatment to ensure safety while enabling complex procedures in fewer appointments with maximum comfort.
Smile Makeovers
Custom smile transformations combine veneers, whitening, and restorations to address discoloration, gaps, and structural imperfections. Digital mockups allow previewing results before treatment, ensuring harmonious, natural-looking enhancements that complement facial features.
Extractions
Minimally invasive extractions preserve jawbone integrity through bone grafting techniques. We offer same-day implant placement after extractions when possible, using sedation options to ensure patient comfort throughout the entire process.

Questions
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort with our computer-guided implant placement. Post-operative soreness typically lasts 1-2 days and responds well to over-the-counter medications, with most returning to normal activities within days.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, titanium implants integrate permanently with jawbone structure. Crowns typically last 10-15 years before needing replacement due to normal wear, making implants the most cost-effective tooth replacement option long-term.
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes, when administered by our trained professionals. Dr. Schof holds current oral sedation permits and reviews medical histories thoroughly to ensure appropriate sedation methods that prioritize patient safety and comfort.
How long does the same-day crown process take?
The entire procedure takes 60-90 minutes, including anesthesia, tooth preparation, digital design/milling of the ceramic crown, and final placement. This compares to weeks of waiting with traditional laboratory-fabricated crowns requiring multiple appointments.
Will my cosmetic dental work look natural?
Dr. Schof's artistic approach and digital preview technology ensure restorations match your natural teeth's color, contour, and translucency. Materials mimic natural enamel luster to create smiles that enhance features without appearing artificial.
What happens during a tooth extraction recovery?
Most patients resume normal routines within 1-3 days. Following post-operative instructions—including salt water rinses, soft food diets, and avoiding straws—ensures proper healing. We provide direct contact for any recovery questions.
