The Ideal Tooth Replacement Solution

If your injured or lost tooth cannot be saved through emergency dentistry, Dr. Thornell has the best option to restore your smile. Dental implants, when placed and restored by our experienced dental implant surgeon can make it look as if you were never missing a tooth in the first place. Many of our patients are also worried about pain during surgery after an unexpected accident. We offer IV sedation that can put your anxiety to rest and when combined with local anesthetic, will allow you have the most comfortable stress free experience possible.
