Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium fixtures that replace missing tooth roots through surgical placement in the jawbone. Our practice offers traditional implants with healing periods and advanced 'Teeth in a Day' solutions using immediate-load technology. Dr. Rissolo's expertise in implantology, combined with Swiss-made materials, ensures durable, natural-looking restorations that integrate seamlessly with your existing dentition.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
We specialize in minimally invasive wisdom tooth extraction for patients aged 16-19, focusing on preventing future dental complications. Using panoramic imaging and gentle surgical techniques, we remove impacted molars that threaten oral health. Our approach prioritizes patient comfort through effective anesthesia options and post-operative care protocols to minimize swelling and accelerate healing.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting restores jawbone volume to support dental implants after tooth loss. Our surgeons use various graft materials and techniques to regenerate bone structure, enabling implant placement in previously compromised areas. This procedure strengthens the foundation for prosthetics while maintaining facial aesthetics and preventing further bone deterioration.
Sinus Lift
Sinus lift surgery adds bone material to the upper jaw's premolar and molar regions. This procedure creates sufficient bone height for implant placement by gently elevating the sinus membrane. Our technique ensures proper integration of graft material, allowing successful implant restoration in the posterior maxilla where bone density is naturally limited.
TMJ Treatment
We diagnose and treat temporomandibular joint disorders through conservative and surgical approaches. Non-invasive treatments include stabilization splints and medication, while severe cases may require joint replacement surgery. Our comprehensive evaluation identifies the root cause of jaw pain, whether from myofascial tension, disc displacement, or arthritic changes, to develop effective treatment plans.

Report
Had 3 wisdom teeth out with Dr. Rissolo; it was a flawless experience. Staff went above and beyond to provide as comfortable an experience as possible--on top of ensuring a painless procedure, but what most impressed me was the post-operative care. Dr. Rissolo was able to provide treatment for swelling at a moment's notice, mitigating the pain in a typically notorious recovery experience. If you need a wisdom tooth extraction, or anything of the sort, this is the place to have it done.

I would give ten stars if I could. Called them on Black Friday morning for an appointment for my 96 year old Dad who had an abscess. They were able to accomodate us, and when we were late because our wheelchair transportation's chair lift did not work, they very graciously still saw him. The doctor and his entire staff was friendly, warm and compassionate. The procedure was painless for him, and Dr. Rissolo was very attentive to him and his multiple medical problems. I can't praise them or thank them enough for the excellent care that they gave him.

Dr Rissolo deserves all the stars. Hands down the best medical/dental care I've ever received. Dr Rissolo is so caring and patient, ready to answer any questions you may have. After spending just a few minutes with him it's evident he cares for his patients almost like family. I always felt that my comfort was his highest priority while in his care, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone and everyone.
Thank you Dr Rissolo, for making a very difficult situation smoother than I could ever ask for, and for making dental visits actually pleasant! Carolyn at the front desk is also really wonderful. Five stars all round.

Dr Rissolo and team are amazing! Made me feel extremely comfortable, walked me through everything they were going to do before they did it and instilled confidence in me that Dr Rissolo really knows what he is doing. He obviously cares about his patients and his pain management approach was highly effective. The whole team is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend!
