My son recently had oral surgery here on a Friday morning. By 8pm, the doctor himself called to check on him and see if we had any questions. From beginning to end, our experience has been a pleasant one. Today, my son received a letter in the mail expressing appreciation for his business. It is signed (not stamped) by the doctor. I’ve never experienced a doctor who is this compassionate and engaging with his patients.
Doc does great work. Very professional and knows what he is doing. He suggests procedures that make sense their Botox last Longer than others I’ve tried.
Wouldn’t go to anybody else. The entire staff is excellent, and Dr. Santin is a true professional. Very happy with the level of care I received over the course of multiple surgeries and many more follow up visits. Facility is clean, his assistants seem to be happy to be working there, and he takes his time with you to make sure you understand what is going on
Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth, providing aesthetic and functional benefits. They consist of three main components: a titanium post that serves as the root, an abutment that connects the post to the crown, and a custom-made crown that mimics the appearance of a natural tooth. Dental implants are securely anchored into the jawbone, offering stability, preventing bone loss, and restoring confidence to eat, speak, and smile.
Full arch dental implants are a comprehensive solution for replacing all your upper or lower teeth. Using as few as four to six strategically placed implants, this treatment supports a complete set of prosthetic teeth, providing a stable, permanent, and natural-looking smile. Full arch implants restore function and appearance, offering enhanced comfort, durability, and the ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently for a lifetime.
Wisdom teeth extraction is a common procedure to remove the third set of molars, typically between the ages of 17 and 25. If wisdom teeth are impacted or causing pain, overcrowding, or infection, extraction can help prevent future dental complications. The procedure is usually performed under local or general anesthesia, and recovery time varies, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days.
General anesthesia induces a deep sleep-like state during surgeries or dental procedures, ensuring the patient remains completely unaware and pain-free. Depending on the procedure’s complexity, it is administered through intravenous medication or inhaled gases. Dr. Santin will closely monitor the patient’s vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure safety and comfort.
