Oral Surgery
Soft Tissue Grafting
As a common symptom of periodontal disease, receding gums may cause insecurity, sensitivity, and even discomfort. We want you to feel comfortable in your smile, and soft tissue grafting is a great solution to re-establish your gum line. Not only will you be more confident, but it prevents further deterioration.
Oral Surgery
Guided Tissue Regeneration
To support your smile and eliminate the risk of tooth loss, guided tissue regeneration can prevent issues caused by periodontal disease. Used in tandem with bone grafting, this treatment will restore your jaw bone and treat issues from gum disease. It's important to get periodontal disease treated as it can cause bone resorption which can eventually lead to tooth loss. Don't wait to get treatment, we can help you restore your gums to their previous function with guided tissue regeneration.

Implant Preparation
Having issues with your oral health can prevent you from getting implants. Luckily, you can ensure that you qualify for implants by taking advantage of our implant preparation services. Depending on your dental needs, we offer treatments like tooth extractions, bone ridge smoothing, and bone grafting. To get a dental implant that is strong and long-lasting, proper implant preparation is essential. With our expert care, we provide the best results for dental implants that can last a lifetime.
Restorative Dentistry
Extractions
Extractions are always our last option — saving your smile is our number one priority. However, a problematic tooth is sometimes more trouble than it's worth. Our team may recommend an extraction as the best way to get your oral health back on the right path. With gentle techniques, and local anesthesia or sedation, decaying teeth can be removed to alleviate your discomfort or to make room for dental implants, a bridge, or another type of tooth replacement.
Oral Surgery
Bone Grafting
Waiting to replace a missing tooth can cause serious consequences. Soon after you lose a tooth, bone resorption begins, making it difficult to place dental implants properly. Bone grafting increases bone density so that you can restore your smile with dental implants. Having strong bone density is required for placing an implant as it needs to have a strong foundation for the restoration. Bone grafting is one of the first steps in widening your tooth replacement choices.
Oral Surgery
Dental Implants
If you're missing a tooth or need an extraction, it's important to find the right replacement to take its place. Dental implants not only restore your smile's aesthetics but also maintain the functionality of your bite and your overall oral health. By mimicking your tooth's natural roots, dental implants are the most secure, long-lasting tooth replacement and the only one that actually halts the progression of bone loss.
Oral Surgery
Tori Removal
Alleviating teeth grinding and bite misalignment due to excess bone (or tori) can be stressful and uncomfortable, but we have a solution. Tori removal is a common procedure performed by your oral surgeon that prevents further teeth complications, gets you out of pain, and prepares your smile for any future procedures. These little bone growths can interfere with many restorative treatments such as dentures, dental bridges, or dental implants. Get these treated to prevent any issues before restoring your smile.
Oral Surgery
Abscess Treatment
We don't blame you for feeling anxious when a pocket of pus forms around your infected tooth root. This can cause not only stress but toothaches, poor breath, and even fevers. You don't have to deal with discomfort — let us solve the issue for you with an abscess treatment. An abscess treatment will clear out the pus and prepare your tooth before a root canal or extraction. This is the first step in your restorative journey to get your teeth back and thriving.

Our Service Model
We have received several questions lately about our insurance network status. We want to explain our approach. To keep our patient's best interest in mind, we have not partnered with insurance carriers because we feel they restrict the quality of care we want to provide. Staying out-of-network allows us to focus on patient care rather than insurance requirements. We assist patients in maximizing benefits, but will not compromise personalized attention and treatment options. Many of our patients discover their out-of-pocket costs with us are reasonably close to network dentists, while receiving superior care.
We will not let insurance plans dictate recommended procedures or use cheap materials. We encourage you to ask us to assess coverage for proposed treatments ahead of time! We submit all claims and patients are reimbursed based on out-of-network benefits. This model allows us to maintain our commitment to thoughtful, patient-focused dentistry.
