 Classic dental implant treatment was often complicated and could take 12 to 14 months to complete. Happily, the innovative techniques we offer can make treatment much simpler, more natural looking and usually complete in only three to four months. These advances make implant reconstruction the preferred choice by significantly reducing treatment time, discomfort and cost, while preserving or enhancing nature bony and soft tissue contours.
We strive to create optimum, cost effective treatment plans, based on your needs and esthetic desires, with fees that give exceptional value. Our goal is to develop a long-term relationship with you in a warm friendly environment, to provide exceptional quality care for years of comfort, enjoyment and confidence.
For your comfort and optimum outcomes, we offer these state of the art techniques:
Accelerated Treatment Options – Dr. Cullum offers “single stage” protocols for immediate and incision-free implant placement. These are very predictable, less costly and con produce implant restorations that are indiscernible from natural teeth.
  Advanced Implant Systems – we offer the most advanced implant systems for placement of the optimal size, shape and surface for the specific needs of the site.
“Drill-less” Site Development – we often utilize drill-less site development with bone expanders to improve bone quality by compacting it to be denser at the implant site.
Pre-emptive Analgesia – we incorporate the latest advances in pain prevention, using medications before, and during your procedure to prevent pain and inflammation. This is preferable to waiting for the pain to start and then giving medicine to cover it up. When your brain doesn’t know there is a problem, it doesn’t become sensitized, expecting problems. Pre-emptive analgesia significantly limits discomfort and minimizes need for medications during the healing period.
IV Anesthesia – Is available to your for optimum comfort. We use medicines specifically adjusted to your needs. We let you direct the level of sleepiness you desire. Most patients have little recollections of their treatment and tell us that their office experience was very pleasant!
“Incisionless” and Minimal Incision Surgery – limited exposure techniques have proven to be a great advantage for esthetic treatment with preventative of scarring and preservation of natural bone and gum contours. Healing is usually much less involved and faster. This requires special instrumentation and careful technique.
 Protective Wound Dressing – whenever helpful we place a special soft plastic cover over the wound site. This is placed to protect the area so you can resume a normal diet very quickly and need not worry about injuring the area during healing!
Advanced Wound Healing/Growth Factor Enhancement – donating a small amount of blood prior to your surgery allows processing of Platelet Rich Plasma for placement into the surgery site. The PRP has concentrated growth factors that improve the quality and speed of healing. This is especially beneficial for multiple implant sites, extensive grafting or with any medical conditions such as diabetes that can compromise healing.
