Your Dream Smile is Our Priority
From single implants to full arch replacements and everything in between.
Single & Multi-Tooth Implants
Dental implants offer the most dependable, long-lasting way to restore missing teeth. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several in a row, options like single implants or implant-supported bridges can help you reclaim your smile with strength and stability.
Snap-In Implant Dentures
Snap-in dentures, also known as overdentures, are anchored by 4 to 6 implants per arch, creating a secure foundation for your new smile. These implant-retained dentures offer a major upgrade from traditional options, eliminating messy adhesives and improving day-to-day comfort.

All-On-4® Full Arch Implants
All-on-4 (often called “Teeth in a Day”) is a full-arch restoration that removes any remaining teeth, places implants, and secures a natural-looking, fixed smile, all in one appointment. It’s the most realistic, efficient way to replace a full set of failing or missing teeth.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
We offer biologically-compatible materials to improve your treatment and recovery process. Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) accelerates the healing process, minimizes pain, and decreases swelling during treatment. Not only that, but it strengthens the function and structure of the bone.
We Handle Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth can cause headaches, jaw pain, and crowding. We’ll evaluate your situation and walk you through the best plan of action.
Stress-Free Sedation Options Available
If you’re nervous about your procedure, we’ve got your back. Ask us about our sedation options to keep you calm, comfortable, and stress-free from start to finish.
Get To The Root Of The Problem
With digital x-rays, we get high-resolution images of your teeth that allow us to make more accurate diagnoses. When you’re in pain or experiencing an emergency, we can see why the tooth is reacting and if an extraction is needed.
The Extraction Process
Treatment Plan
During your consultation, we’ll take digital x-rays to assess the condition of your tooth and the surrounding bone. We’ll explain whether extraction is truly necessary and walk you through any alternatives. If you’re moving forward, we’ll review the number of teeth to be removed, aftercare expectations, and any follow-up recommendations for tooth replacement. We’ll answer every question you have so you feel fully informed and know what to expect.
Procedure Prep
Before we begin, your comfort is our top priority. The area around your tooth will be thoroughly numbed with local anesthesia. Our team will walk you through what to expect and stay by your side throughout the entire visit. You’ll never feel rushed, and we’ll make sure you’re completely at ease before we proceed.
Extraction & Healing
The extraction itself is typically quick— simple extractions typically take only a few minutes once you’re numb and comfortable. We use gentle techniques to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissues. After your tooth is removed, the site will be cleaned and, if needed, closed with sutures. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, including tips on diet, hygiene, and how to avoid dry socket. Most patients experience mild discomfort for a couple of days and are back to normal within one to two weeks.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Check out these frequently asked questions, or give us a call to speak with our team.
Tooth extractions are typically recommended when a tooth is beyond repair due to severe decay, advanced gum disease, trauma, or infection. Sometimes, a tooth may need to be removed to make room for orthodontic treatment or to prepare for a dental implant or denture.
Wisdom teeth are often extracted if they’re impacted, causing pain, or crowding surrounding teeth. Your dentist will always explore all options before recommending removal, but sometimes extraction is the best way to protect your long-term oral health.
You won’t feel pain during the procedure thanks to local anesthesia. After the numbing wears off, it’s normal to experience mild swelling, soreness, or discomfort in the area. These symptoms are usually most noticeable in the first 48–72 hours and taper off within a week.
You can manage them with over-the-counter pain relievers, cold compresses, rest, and following your doctor’s aftercare instructions. If you experience worsening pain, prolonged bleeding, or signs of infection, contact us right away.
Extractions required for impacted wisdom teeth, or to remove severely damaged or decayed teeth, are typically covered by insurance. To understand the specifics of your coverage, we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly for more details.
