Dental Implants

Dental implants restore missing or damaged teeth with natural-looking, functional replacements. Using titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, implants fuse with bone tissue to create a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or full-arch prosthetics. This solution enhances oral health, preserves facial structure, and allows patients to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Our practice employs guided implant technology for precise placement and long-term success.

Full-Arch Restoration

Full-arch restoration replaces an entire upper or lower set of teeth using as few as four dental implants. This procedure addresses severe tooth loss or damage, offering a permanent, stable alternative to removable dentures. Patients regain full functionality and aesthetics, with prosthetics designed to mimic natural teeth. Our team utilizes advanced planning tools to ensure optimal alignment, comfort, and durability for lasting results.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth removal prevents and resolves complications like impaction, pain, and crowding. Our surgeons perform extractions under tailored anesthesia options to ensure patient comfort. By addressing problematic third molars early, we reduce risks of infection, damage to adjacent teeth, and orthodontic issues. Postoperative care guidance ensures smooth recovery and long-term oral health.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting restores lost jawbone density to support dental implants or address structural defects. Using autografts, allografts, or synthetic materials, we stimulate new bone growth for a stable foundation. This procedure enables successful implant placement in patients with insufficient bone volume due to trauma, disease, or tooth loss, enhancing both function and aesthetics.

TMJ Surgery

TMJ surgery addresses chronic temporomandibular joint disorders resistant to conservative treatments. Procedures like arthrocentesis or joint replacement alleviate pain, restore mobility, and correct structural abnormalities. Our surgeons focus on minimizing discomfort and improving jaw function, helping patients overcome difficulties with chewing, speaking, and daily activities.

I highly recommend the Oral & Facial Surgery Institute. The culture, operations management, and teamwork, inter alia, were impressive. All of the team were outstanding! Since it was my first visit, I spent most of my time with Sandy, who took x-rays of my tooth, reviewed my health information sheet, and informed me about the surgery. She was very professional and did an outstanding job. Since it was determined that I needed a tooth extraction and an implant, I met some of the other team members. All were extremely skilled and pleasant, reflecting the culture Dr. Davis has instilled within his team. The surgery was painless. The Oral & Facial Surgery Institute and Dr. Davis are amazing!

I had my 4 wisdom teeth removed at the Oral & Facial Surgery Institute. From my consultation appt to surgery day the staff was super friendly and very competent. I felt very well taken care of and the surgery assistant (I believe his name was Austin) was great! Would definitely come back here for any future procedures I may need done. Thank you to this awesome team.

We just moved to the area. My daughter needed her wisdom teeth pulled. Dr. Davis and his staff was amazing to work with. They are very friendly and thoughtful. I highly recommend them! Plus they worked with our insurance, so we didn't have to pay very much.

I'm so thankful for the care I received in an emergency. My dentist called the oral surgery office and said they could take me right away. This is the most calming and caring oral surgery/dental office I've ever been to. I was in pain and they quickly got me checked in. Everyone was happy and the wait to see the Dr. was only minutes. Within only a few more minutes I was out of pain and on my way. The Dr. was so gentle and empathized with my situation. I'm so glad I was referred to them and was treated with such caring, respect, and professionalism!

Saw Dr. Davis and the office is the most professional that I have ever seen. I arrived early as I drove from Las Vegas. They took me 45 minutes before my appointment. Spoke to Fr. Davis prior to the procedure. Very comfortable with him. Highly recommend and worth the drive.
