Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions for single or multiple missing teeth. Our surgical placement followed by 3-6 month healing creates stable foundations for crowns or dentures. This stand-alone solution preserves adjacent teeth while restoring full chewing function. Patients receive detailed post-operative care instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure successful integration.
IV Sedation
IV sedation delivers controlled sedation through intravenous medication for anxiety-free dental procedures. Administered by ACLS-certified dentists, this method allows precise dosage adjustments during treatment. Ideal for complex procedures like wisdom teeth removal or implant placement, it offers faster onset and better control compared to oral sedation alternatives while maintaining patient safety through continuous monitoring.
Same Day Crowns
CEREC technology enables complete crown fabrication and placement in a single appointment. Digital impressions eliminate traditional molds while in-office milling creates durable ceramic restorations. This process preserves tooth structure and reduces treatment time from weeks to hours. Patients receive immediate functional and aesthetic benefits without temporary crowns or multiple visits.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Surgical removal of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth prevents future dental complications. Our dentists perform this procedure using advanced surgical techniques and IV sedation options. Post-operative care includes detailed recovery instructions and follow-up appointments to monitor healing. Early intervention between ages 16-18 typically yields faster recovery and better long-term outcomes.
TMJ/TMD Treatment
Comprehensive treatment for temporomandibular joint disorders addresses pain and dysfunction through conservative approaches. Custom oral appliances, physical therapy exercises, and bite adjustments help alleviate symptoms like headaches and jaw clicking. Our personalized treatment plans focus on non-invasive solutions before considering more complex interventions.
