Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with artificial roots that fuse with jawbone tissue. This three-stage process involves implant placement, abutment installation, and crown attachment. Our practice addresses bone loss through augmentation techniques while preserving facial structure and preventing adjacent tooth movement.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
We specialize in removing impacted wisdom teeth to prevent permanent damage to adjacent teeth and gum tissue. Using panoramic radiographs for diagnosis, our surgical approach minimizes post-operative discomfort while addressing potential infection risks and alignment issues caused by unerupted molars.
TMJ Treatment
Our TMJ disorder management addresses jaw joint pain and dysfunction through comprehensive evaluation and treatment planning. Services include diagnostic imaging, custom splint fabrication, and conservative therapy options before considering surgical interventions for internal joint derangements.
Facial Reconstruction
Corrective jaw surgery realigns facial bones to improve bite function and facial symmetry. We perform orthognathic procedures to address developmental discrepancies while offering implant-free chin augmentation alternatives that preserve natural bone structure and aesthetics.
Oral Surgery Consultation
Initial consultations include diagnostic imaging and comprehensive oral examinations to determine surgical needs. We explain anesthesia options and treatment phases while coordinating care with restorative dentists and orthodontists for optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Hello all,
I read all reviews for the front office employees, and I experienced the same last year. However, last week, I noticed that Dr. hired the most professional and courteous employees now. They are all great employees. My experience was enjoyable, and Doctor himself has years of experience. So all my experience was pleasant.

The staff is mind-numbingly rude. Clear dont understand that they are in a service industry. The doctor tries to interact as little as possible. They didnt give me or my guardian any information about post-op care for my wisdom teeth removal. Just dont go

Dr. Darmstadt was amazing. I was in pain for weeks, unable to find anyone that would take me and I was finally referred to Dr Darmstadt by a relative that lives in the area. Called in and was actually able to get fit into their tight schedule due to the severity of my pain. The visit was quick and painless, and I now have no more wisdom teeth crowding my mouth! Thank you so much to Dr. Darmstadt and his helpful staff!

Dr. Darmstadt is the man! Ive never felt so comfortable with anyone else dealing with mouth work. Dentists scare me and when I was told I needed to get my wisdom teeth taken out, it was like getting a death sentence. Was referred to this office by a friend and cannot believe how smooth/painless the whole process went.

Very accommodating staff. I went in for wisdom teeth extraction after being referred by 2 different dentists. Dr. Darmsrtadt made sure everything went quick and easy which we can attribute to his 35 years of experience. If I had anymore wisdom teeth left I would definitely choose this office again.

I took my son in to Dr Darmstadt to have a few teeth removed and a chain attached to another per request of my sons orthodontist. My son was very nervous, as was I. Dr Darmstadt was so very gentle and patient making us both feel much more relaxed and taking the time to answer our concerns. The surgery was successful, an excellent job for the orthodontist to work with. The Dr and his staff were so caring, staying with and comforting him until he was ready to go home. They even phoned us a couple days later to see how my son was feeling. I would definitely recommend Dr Darmstadt for any Oral Surgery
