Preserving your natural teeth is always the priority whenever possible. When a tooth cannot be saved, our periodontists provide comprehensive dental implant treatment for both straightforward and complex cases. In addition to replacing single and multiple missing teeth, we have extensive experience treating patients with limited bone, implants located near the sinus or nerve, and full-arch rehabilitation. 

We also provide second opinions and corrective treatment for patients experiencing complications from previous implant procedures. Every treatment plan begins with a comprehensive periodontal evaluation to determine the most appropriate approach for your long-term oral health.

I was referred to Dr Thousand by another dentist for a consultation for a full arch replacement. He was very thorough and knowledgeable. This type of treatment is a huge disruption in life so I am waiting for the best time to move forward. Dr Thousand also treated me for a salivary gland blockage. He was very familiar with the problem and performed flawless surgery that completely resolved the problem. I am very confident in Dr Thousand’s oral surgery skill.

I go to Dr. Thousand for periodontal cleanings. He hasn’t really done any other dental work for me, but I really like this practice. He did refer me to a really good dentist for a crown that I needed to have done
