Exceeding Your Expectations

Dental implants can fully transform your life—from providing stable function for eating your favorite foods to restoring a beautiful and natural smile to improve your confidence. However, many patients have dental implant expectations that go unmet, whether due to a lack of communication, undisclosed costs or fees, or inadequate planning or inexperience of the dentist that leads to poor function and aesthetics. As a lifetime investment in your health, function, and quality of life, dental implants should only be placed and restored by skilled doctors who are transparent about the process and what you can expect, in addition to remaining realistic about your case. At Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of Carbondale, it is our goal to provide treatment with dental implants in Carbondale, IL that not only meets your expectations, but exceeds them.
