Technology & precision
The tools your dentist sent you here for.
Specialty practices earn the referral by doing what general practices can’t — and by investing in the equipment that makes complex cases predictable. Here’s what we use, every day.
Imaging
Cone-beam CT (CBCT)
Three-dimensional imaging of bone, sinuses, and nerves before implant placement. Used on every implant case.
Digital workflow
Intraoral scanning
No more impression trays. We capture the entire mouth in minutes — and reuse the scan for surgical guides, restorations, and follow-up comparison.
Guided surgery
3D-printed surgical guides
Implants placed within fractions of a millimeter of the digital plan. The guide is fabricated from your CBCT before you sit down.
Periodontal laser
LANAP laser therapy
Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure for treating gum disease without traditional cut-and-suture surgery, where the diagnosis fits.
The doctors
Three periodontists. Decades of combined specialty experience.
Featured case
A full-arch reconstruction, six months apart.
Drag the divider to compare. Full-arch implant cases like this start with planning the bone, the gum, and the position the final teeth need to land in — not the other way around.

Frequently asked
The questions patients ask us most.
- How long do dental implants last?
- Implants are designed to last decades with proper maintenance. Long-term studies show 90-95% survival at 10 years for properly placed implants in healthy bone. Maintenance — both professional cleanings and home care — matters as much as the surgery itself.
- Do dental implants hurt?
- Implant placement is performed under local anesthesia, often with sedation if you prefer. Most patients describe post-op discomfort as less than they expected — comparable to a tooth extraction. We provide a specific medication regimen and aftercare instructions.
- Can I get an implant the same day as my extraction?
- In selected cases, yes — this is called immediate implant placement. Whether it is appropriate depends on the reason for extraction, the bone available, the condition of the surrounding gum, and patient factors like smoking. Some cases benefit from waiting weeks or months to let the site heal first.
- Do I need bone grafting before my implant?
- Many patients do — especially if the tooth has been missing for some time or was removed because of infection or fracture. Bone grafting is routine in implant practice and can often be done at the same visit as the extraction or implant placement.
