Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent, natural-looking solutions for missing teeth. Using titanium posts fused with jawbone, we restore function and aesthetics while preventing bone loss. Ideal for single or multiple missing teeth, implants support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Our team ensures precise placement and long-term success through personalized treatment planning.
Periodontal Therapy
We treat gum disease through non-surgical and surgical methods, including scaling, root planing, and pocket reduction. Early intervention prevents tooth loss and systemic health complications. Our approach combines thorough diagnosis with patient education to improve oral-systemic health connections and maintain stable gum tissue.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting restores receded tissue to protect tooth roots and improve aesthetics. Using autografts or allografts, we cover exposed areas to reduce sensitivity and prevent further recession. This procedure enhances both oral health and smile appearance while stabilizing compromised gum lines.
Fixed Dentures
Fixed dentures anchored by implants offer stable, comfortable tooth replacement for full arches. Unlike removable options, these prosthetics function like natural teeth, allowing unrestricted eating and speaking. We design custom solutions to match facial structure and bite alignment for optimal results.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting rebuilds jaw volume to support implants or prevent further deterioration. Using synthetic or donor materials, we stimulate natural bone regeneration to create a solid foundation for restorations. This procedure ensures long-term implant stability and preserves facial contours.

Office staff is very efficient and personable. Dr Moran informs you prior to the procedure of what will happen. Clear instructions for post procedure care and Dr Moran follows up with inquiry as to how you're doing. Excellent care

Dr. Moran and his office team are fantastic! The office is extremely clean and welcoming. They instantly put me at ease (not an easy task when I visit the dentist!). Dr. Moran answers all of my questions and concerns very clearly and in confidence. I felt no pain or discomfort either during or after my procedure. Dr. Moran is the BEST!

Report
Dr. Moran and his staff are amazing. They knew I was nervous about my procedure and they took the time to explain to me what they were going to do and the time it would take. They were very knowledgeable, caring and comforting. They truly cared that I was comfortable. They told me the worse part would be the injections to numb me and they were right. Dr. Moran called me later that night to check on me and make sure I was doing ok.
I think this was the first time a doctor to call me after hours. He truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend him. Kristy at the front desk is very kind. She will make you fell at home as soon as you walk through the door.
