Specialized care you can count on
Dental implants
Whether you're missing one tooth or many, dental implants offer a stable, long-term solution that looks and functions like natural teeth. To ensure precision placement and the best results, Dr. Omoto and Dr. Nguyen use advanced digital tools, including 3D imaging (CBCT), custom surgical guides, and anatomic healing abutments.

Wisdom teeth removal
You deserve care from an expert that’s dedicated to making your surgery easy, seamless, and stress-free. For impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth, our team provides safe, smooth extractions with IV sedation options to keep you comfortable every step of the way.

All-on-X implants
If you're missing multiple teeth or have hopeless dentition, we're here to get your smile back to looking (and feeling) great again. All-on-X implants are a life-changing solution that use a few strategically placed implants to restore a full set of teeth. Fixed and unmovable, you can eat the food you want again without slippage or discomfort.
