Changing the way you experience dentistry
Medically reviewed by Dr. Roderick Davies, DDS, Ret. Captain, U.S. Army, Lead Dentist. Last updated October 24, 2026.
From six-month cleanings to full-arch implants
Dr. Roderick Davies, a retired U.S. Army captain, and our team handle routine cleanings and full-arch dental implants in the same Gunn Hwy office. Expect warm towels, noise-canceling headphones, and a plan you understand before anything starts.
Three ways to start as a new patient
$99 Cleaning, Exam & X-Ray
For new patients without insurance or gum disease. Includes a CBCT scan, intraoral scan, and full periodontal charting.
$29 Emergency Exam & X-Ray
For new patients in pain. Dr. Davies examines the problem, takes x-rays and walks you through your options.
Free Implant Consultation
For new patients missing one or more teeth. You meet the dentist who performs the surgery and leave with a 3D scan.

Dental implants

Cosmetic dentistry
Whitening, bonding, veneers, and smile makeovers you preview before treatment.
Clear aligner therapy
Straighten your teeth with custom aligners instead of wires and brackets.
Preventive dentistry
Cleanings and exams, plus a complimentary 3D CBCT scan for new patients.
Restorative dentistry

Periodontics
Laser therapy and deep cleanings that treat gum disease at the source.
Sedation dentistry
Nitrous oxide, oral, IV and general anesthesia, managed by Dr. Walbom.
Emergency dentistry
Same-day care for toothaches, broken teeth and knocked-out teeth.
Full-arch implants with a second look
When other offices say you're not a candidate, Dr. Davies takes a second look. He's one of a small number of dentists in the country trained to place zygomatic and pterygoid implants, which can skip sinus lifts and bone grafts in some upper-jaw cases.
Full-arch patients typically get five or six implants per arch and go home with temporary teeth on surgery day. Dr. Michael Walbom, our board-certified dental anesthesiologist, manages your sedation.
