Small Steps Make a Big Difference
Our wisdom tooth removal procedure is designed for faster healing with reduced discomfort. We use minimally invasive techniques that ensure small incisions, preserve soft tissue, and keep swelling to a minimum. With tailored IV sedation and a focus on post-op comfort, patients can resume their normal routine quickly—typically within 24 hours—and without the need for opioid pain medications or modified diets.

Tailored Solutions for Every Patient
The All-on-4® technique is a popular form of dental implant that allows patients to restore their smile with four strategically placed implants throughout the mouth. This is an excellent option for patients with extensive tooth loss.
Dental implants provide a long-lasting way to replace lost or missing teeth. Titanium posts are placed into the jaw to serve as artificial roots. From there, we place replacement teeth that look and feel natural.
The majority of people need to have their wisdom teeth removed to avoid long-term dental complications. Our practice can provide wisdom teeth removal safely, comfortably, and expediently for young and older patients.
When a patient’s teeth are too sick or too damaged to be viable, the best approach is to extract and replace them. We offer safe and expedient tooth extraction services, along with tooth replacement options, for patients of various ages.
We see many patients with persistent jaw pain, whether due to a physical deformity, traumatic accident, or condition such as TMJ. Sometimes, surgical intervention can alleviate pain and restore the jaw’s full aesthetics.
Tooth loss is often accompanied by the loss of bone tissue, which can make restoration more challenging. Through bone grafting, Dr. Brandner can regrow bone tissue and better prepare the patient for dental implants.
One of our top priorities is to provide patients with a comfortable, positive treatment experience. As such, we offer a number of sedation and anesthesia options to ensure that your treatment does not involve any pain or discomfort. Learn more about our approach to sedation dentistry.
These advanced treatments can enhance your natural beauty, providing you with a more youthful, refreshed appearance without the need for surgery.
