There is no doubt about the power of an enchanting smile and there is no better substitute for replacing missing teeth than with dental implants! It is, therefore, no surprise that Dr. Cliff Walzer, Dr. Neil Sullivan, and Dr. Borek Hlousek have focused their practice on creating beautiful smiles and restoring healthy function to the teeth and jaws. By em acing the team approach to patient care, the doctors combine their diagnostic and surgical skills with the talents of restorative dentists to provide the optimum care that patients deserve. Of all the procedures they perform, the doctors have taken a special interest in the replacement of teeth with dental implants. With recent technological advances, Drs. Walzer, Sullivan and Hlousek obtain three-dimensional images of a patient’s jaw structure and virtually plan the positioning of dental implants on computers. Drs Walzer, Sullivan and Hlousek are all board certified — the highest accomplishment for a dental specialist. They have been voted every year by their peers as Top Dentists 2005-2010!

Q: Why remove wisdom teeth?
A: Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. Poorly positioned or impacted wisdom teeth can cause many problems including pain, infection and decay on the back of the second molars and crowding of the other healthy teeth. Early removal of problematic wisdom teeth is recommended to avoid such future problems and to decrease the surgical risk involved with the procedure. Our Oral Surgery Specialist team works closely with your dentist to insure a successful outcome and beautiful smile.
