Complete records, zero gaps

Your full medical history, 3D digital imaging, and long-term treatment blueprints are already in our hands — no starting over with a new provider.

Sedation for your comfort

We offer customized nitrous oxide or oral sedation sedation parameters. You never have to white-knuckle your way through necessary surgical procedures.

Oral surgery doesn't have to mean a specialist referral

Many patients automatically assume that tooth extractions or wisdom teeth removal require a cold, unfamiliar surgical center. As a general practitioner with extensive advanced training, Dr. Lisa Piontek performs a wide spectrum of complex surgeries comfortably right here at 400 School St.

From simple therapeutic extractions to preparatory bone grafting and precise implant placement, we handle your workflow smoothly, combine it with tailored sedation protocols, and set realistic, transparent recovery maps.
