A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown. If you compare natural teeth to implant-supported replacement teeth, you'll see they have the same basic parts.

Wisdom Teeth

Studies have shown that early evaluation of the wisdom teeth and treatment, when necessary, result in a superior outcome for the patient.

Dental Implants and Bone Grafting

A dental implant is the ideal replacement for a tooth, as it looks, feels, and functions just like a natural one. If you have been missing a tooth for a long time, you mostly likely will need a bone graft to support the implant, as missing a tooth leads to bone loss in your jaw. Our surgeons can safely and precisely place bone grafts and implants, successfully restoring your ability to chew, speak and smile!

Wisdom Teeth Removal

If your child is between the ages of 17-25, now is the best time to schedule a wisdom teeth evaluation. The tooth roots start to develop during this period, making it the easiest time for removal. We know that the thought of surgery can be daunting for teens and their families, but don’t worry. Our expert doctors are highly experienced in this extremely common procedure and are here to guide you and your child every step of the way.

Tooth Extractions

We only remove a tooth when absolutely necessary or when the tooth is broken beyond repair. Depending on your case, we choose the best sedation method to make sure you are comfortable and have peace of mind. We take great care to minimize your pain and tooth extractions at our practice are safe.
