Restoring your teeth after an extraction
Restoring your teeth is not only important for your smile and self-confidence, it also prevents complications like bone loss in the jaw.

Dr. Hansen offers the unique ability to extract a tooth and place an implant at the same time. This advanced technique keeps you from waiting weeks (or months) for the extraction site to heal before coming back in for a restoration.
