Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that mimic natural teeth. Our practice offers complete implant placement and restoration services, including bone grafting when needed. With 40+ years of experience, Dr. Tapnio ensures secure, long-lasting results that restore both function and aesthetics for patients missing one or more teeth.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth discreetly using custom clear aligners. Our digital planning system creates precise tooth movement paths for optimal results. This orthodontic solution suits teens and adults seeking comfortable, nearly invisible alignment correction without traditional metal braces.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services eliminate surface and deep-set stains through peroxide-based treatments. We offer take-home trays and in-office options to address discoloration from food, drinks, or medications while minimizing sensitivity for lasting, natural-looking results.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting restores jawbone volume for implant candidates with bone loss. Using autogenous tissue or synthetic materials, we rebuild deficient areas to create stable foundations for dental implants. This procedure also prevents further bone recession and facial structure deterioration.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy eliminates dental infection while preserving natural teeth. Our gentle approach uses advanced techniques to remove infected pulp, disinfect root canals, and seal teeth for protection. Most patients experience minimal discomfort comparable to routine fillings during this pain-relieving procedure.
