A Dental Experience Crafted Just for You

Dental Implants

If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants are the only tooth replacement solution to restore your entire tooth structure, including the roots. As such, dental implants offer more excellent stability, strength, and longevity than traditional restorations. In addition, dental implants can prevent jawbone deterioration, which helps preserve your facial structure.

Dr. Painter has advanced skills in the art and science of dental implantology. As such, he offers several types of implant solutions to restore a complete, healthy smile. If you are missing most of all your teeth, full mouth dental implants make it possible to eat the foods you love, laugh, speak, and socialize with newfound confidence!

Sedation Dentistry

At Sedation & Implant Dentistry, we understand dental anxiety is a common issue, and Dr. Painter has made it a front-and-center issue since starting his practice. First, we want you to know that you’re not alone—millions of Americans have some degree of anxiety or discomfort when it comes to dentistry.

Like countless anxious patients who benefited from sedation dentistry, this simple step will give you the vital oral health care you need in a positive, calm, and stress-free environment. We encourage you to conquer your fears, prioritize your oral health, and let our compassionate team provide professional and gentle dental care for your entire family!

Full Mouth Reconstruction

If you have multiple dental issues, full-mouth reconstruction is a multistage process involving different types of treatment. While the primary goal of full mouth restoration is to rebuild or restore your dental function, many procedures also benefit cosmetic dentistry.

You may be a perfect candidate for full mouth reconstruction if you have extensive decay and severely worn teeth, incurred dental trauma, or have a painful bite that requires alignment. Blending three decades of experience with top-quality materials and techniques, Dr. Painter will restore your bite and function and deliver a perfectly balanced smile with full-mouth dental implants and other solutions.
