Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing tooth roots with biocompatible titanium posts that fuse with jawbone tissue. This permanent solution restores chewing function and prevents bone loss while maintaining facial structure. Patients receive customized treatment planning through collaborative consultations with restorative dentists.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Third molar extractions prevent damage to adjacent teeth and treat impaction-related infections. Using panoramic radiography, we identify potential complications before performing surgical extractions under local or general anesthesia. Post-operative care instructions minimize recovery time and discomfort.
TMJ Treatment
We diagnose and manage temporomandibular joint disorders through comprehensive evaluations that include medical history reviews and joint imaging. Treatment options range from custom splints and medication to arthroscopic procedures for chronic pain or joint dysfunction.
Facial Reconstruction
Orthognathic procedures correct misaligned jaws and facial asymmetry through bone repositioning techniques. These surgeries improve bite function while enhancing facial aesthetics without requiring synthetic implants for most cases.
Bone Augmentation
This preparatory procedure rebuilds jawbone volume using autogenous or synthetic materials to support successful dental implant placement. It addresses bone loss from missing teeth or periodontal disease through guided regeneration techniques.

Dr. Darmstadt was amazing, I had a horrible tooth ache due to a wisdom tooth and he did such an amazing job removing it. I didn't feel anything throughout the entire procedure. The procedure itself was pretty quick, I was out of the office within two hours. The only reason I'm giving three stars is because one of the staff members was talking about me while I was in the lobby and is extremely rude and condescending everytime I call.

I still need the other wisdom teeth removed but I'll be going to another oral surgeon because no one likes to feel uncomfortable in a dental office on top of already feeling anxious about a dental procedure.

The experience at this office was great and everyone was very helpful. Absolutely make sure to get sedated (if it's recommended and depending on each situation of course). Sedation for sure made everything incredibly smooth and quick. Plus I felt like I was being touched by angels while getting those teeth out haha. Dr. Darmstadt and his staff are truly wonderful and you know you are in good hands.

Hello all, I read all reviews for the front office employees, and I experienced the same last year. However, last week, I noticed that Dr. hired the most professional and courteous employees now. They are all great employees. My experience was enjoyable, and Doctor himself has years of experience. So all my experience was pleasant.

The staff is mind-numbingly rude. Clear don't understand that they are in a service industry. The doctor tries to interact as little as possible. They didn't give me or my guardian any information about post-op care for my wisdom teeth removal. Just don't go

Dr. Darmstadt was amazing. I was in pain for weeks, unable to find anyone that would take me and I was finally referred to Dr Darmstadt by a relative that lives in the area. Called in and was actually able to get fit into their tight schedule due to the severity of my pain. The visit was quick and painless, and I now have no more wisdom teeth crowding my mouth! Thank you so much to Dr. Darmstadt and his helpful staff!
