Patients often come to us after being told they don't have enough bone for an implant. The good news is that "not enough bone" rarely means "not possible." It just means there's an extra step.

Bone grafting is that step. We add new bone material to the area, and over the next few months your body builds healthy new bone around it. Once healed, you have the foundation you need for a successful implant.

If you're not sure where to start, give us a call at (619) 482-6774.



Thanks everyone!

Summer break doesn't last forever, and neither does the window to recover comfortably. If your wisdom teeth are already causing discomfort, or your dentist has told you it's time, this is the season to take care of it. Most patients are back to feeling like themselves within just a few days.

Don't wait until pain makes the decision for you.

Congrats to Team USA 🇺🇸 on bringing home the gold 🥇 for Men's and Women's Hockey! 🏒 Jack Hughes left everything on the ice... including his teeth 🦷🦷. While we love the grit, missing teeth don’t have to be permanent. Dental implants fuse naturally to your jawbone, look 100% real, and last a lifetime. Gold medal–worthy? We think so.

Ask us about implants today.

Little teeth play a big role in your child's development. Even though they're temporary! Baby teeth act as natural space holders for permanent teeth. When they're lost too early or become severely damaged, it can affect jaw growth, tooth alignment, and speech development.

Our experienced oral surgery team is here when your child needs tooth extractions for severely decayed baby teeth, treatment for impacted canines or wisdom teeth, care for facial trauma or injuries, or management of dental infections.

Early intervention can prevent future orthodontic complications and protect your child's long-term oral health. Because those little teeth are doing big work for permanent tooth development!
