Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide a durable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, restoring both function and aesthetics. Our practice specializes in advanced techniques like Smile XZ (All-on-4) and zirconia implants, ensuring long-term success through precise CT-guided placement and bone grafting when needed.
Smile XZ (All-on-4)
Smile XZ is a proprietary All-on-4 technique that replaces an entire arch of missing teeth with just four implants. Developed by Dr. Collier, it often eliminates the need for bone grafting. This method offers immediate load capability, allowing patients to leave with a temporary fixed denture the same day. The in-house lab ensures rapid fabrication of customized, natural-looking restorations.
IV Sedation Dentistry
IV sedation provides deep relaxation for anxious patients undergoing complex or lengthy procedures. Administered by certified professionals, it allows patients to remain responsive while experiencing minimal discomfort. This technique is ideal for those with dental phobia, ensuring a stress-free experience while maintaining safety through continuous monitoring during treatment.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic services include porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and smile makeovers to address discoloration, chips, or misalignment. Using advanced imaging technology, we create personalized treatment plans to enhance aesthetics while preserving oral health. The in-house lab crafts restorations with precision, ensuring seamless, long-lasting results that boost confidence and functionality.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction combines restorative and cosmetic procedures to address severe dental issues like decay, missing teeth, or gum disease. Treatments may include implants, crowns, bridges, and periodontal therapy tailored to each patient. Our approach prioritizes functional restoration and aesthetic improvement, often completed in fewer appointments through coordinated care and advanced diagnostic tools.

Report
At Southern Dental Implant Center, Jason Collier stole $20,000 dollars from my mom. He frauduantly got Medicare to pay him $12000 for implants when Medicare does not authorize money for it because his mother worked there. Carrol, a manager there, told my mom Medicare would only pay $2000. Then she told mom she must pay $5700 upfront by the time of mom's appointment or it will be cancelled. She then demanded $20000 before appointment to implant temps.
Mom wanted her money back but Carol told mom we dont' refund money. Jason Collier did not complete the implants, did not offer to complete the implants, and didn't offer to help mom acquire another dentist to complete the implants. He still has mom's permenant teeth.
