Services
Dental Implants
Our dental implant solutions restore missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking replacements. Using titanium posts fused with jawbone tissue, we create stable foundations for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This treatment prevents bone loss while restoring full chewing function and aesthetic appearance. Patients benefit from improved oral health and confidence in their smile.
Gum Grafting
Soft tissue grafting procedures treat receding gums by reinforcing thinning areas with donor or autogenous tissue. This protects exposed roots, reduces sensitivity, and prevents further periodontal damage. Our techniques promote natural healing while improving gum line aesthetics for healthier oral presentation.
Sinus Lift
This specialized procedure adds bone material beneath maxillary sinuses to support dental implants in upper jaw areas with insufficient bone density. Our approach preserves sinus integrity while creating stable foundations for tooth replacement. Patients gain eligibility for implant treatment that would otherwise be impossible.
3D Imaging
Advanced cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) creates detailed three-dimensional images of oral structures. This technology enables precise treatment planning for implants, bone grafting, and complex extractions. Patients receive more accurate diagnoses and customized care plans with reduced radiation exposure compared to traditional imaging.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer conscious sedation options to help patients relax during periodontal procedures. This service benefits individuals with dental anxiety, sensitive gag reflexes, or complex treatment needs requiring extended appointments. Patients receive safe, comfortable care while remaining responsive throughout their procedures.

Long story short, I had to have a bunch of implants due to a car accident that I was involved in and Dr Holden and his entire staff have been amazing. I could never say enough great things about these folks.

Dr Holden and his staff were very professional and helpful. I had my wisdom teeth removed and a dental implant placed. I was nervous for the procedure but Dr Holden made me feel comfortable and I highly recommend him.

I received a gum graph a couple months ago. The office was clean and friendly. The surgery was pain free and the assistant kept me very comfortable. Although the healing process was annoying in my mouth, doctor was very attentive and within a week I was back to normal. I am very happy with the results. My teeth look great and the sensitivity I was having is gone!

Dr. Pete is awesome! I've had a long history of dental problems and anxiety going to the dentist. This doc was honest, straight forward and gave me my options. He listened to my worries and on the day of my first surgery gave me his cell number to call afterwards if I had any questions.

Dr. Holden was excellent, however his office atmosphere could use some work. I dont feel comfortable or welcomed when I walk in and am continuously forced to watch Fox News every time Im waiting. Its the only channel they ever have on, and while the older white males might really enjoy this biased news channel, I prefer something a little more factual and less offensive.
