Dental Implants
at our San Diego office

Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.


Our
San Diego
Office

Designed and built with your comfort and safety in mind, Carmel Mountain Oral & Facial Surgery first opened in October of 2004. Digital imaging and x-ray systems and an electronic medical record are just a few of the innovation technologies used in our state of the art office.
