Our Prosthodontic Services
Dental
Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with strong, natural‑looking restorations that function just like real teeth. They help preserve bone, restore confidence, and provide a long‑term solution for a healthy, stable smile.
Crowns
& Bridges
Crowns and bridges repair damaged or missing teeth with durable, custom‑crafted restorations that blend seamlessly with your natural smile. They restore strength, function, and appearance so you can chew and speak comfortably again.
Veneers &
Cosmetic Treatments
Veneers and cosmetic treatments enhance the shape, color, and overall appearance of your teeth, giving you a brighter, more confident smile. These minimally invasive options are tailored to your goals for beautiful, natural‑looking results.
Full Mouth
Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction combines restorative and cosmetic treatments to rebuild your smile’s health, function, and aesthetics. This comprehensive approach is ideal for patients with worn, damaged, or missing teeth who want a complete transformation.
Full Mouth
Dental Implants
Full mouth dental implants replace an entire arch of missing or failing teeth with a fixed, lifelike set of teeth anchored by implants. This advanced solution restores full chewing ability, stability, and confidence—often in just one day.
Complete &
Partial Dentures
Complete and partial dentures offer a reliable, affordable way to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. Modern materials and custom designs ensure a comfortable fit and natural appearance.
IV Sedation & Anesthesia Options
At Facial Designs, P.A., we understand that dental treatment can cause anxiety, and we’ve built our practice to make you feel safe and supported from the moment you arrive. Our facility meets Category 1 anesthesia standards—the same rigorous guidelines used by ambulatory surgery centers—so every patient can feel confident their care is delivered in the safest, most controlled environment possible. What truly sets us apart is our collaborative Dr. Duo: Dr. VanSurksum, our Board‑Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, leads the surgical and anesthesia team, while Dr. Clark‑Gold works closely alongside them to ensure each sedation plan balances comfort with clinical precision. Together, they tailor options ranging from minimal relaxation to full IV sedation based on your needs, anxiety level, and treatment complexity, helping many patients drift into a calm, sleep‑like state that makes oral surgery feel smooth, safe, and far less overwhelming.
Expert Oral Surgery & Prosthodontics, Seamless Care, Exceptional Results
We offer a full spectrum of specialized dental health solutions under a single roof. Our Board-Certified Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon, along with our Certified Prosthodontist, provides patients with flexibility in caring for their dental health in a timely, cost-effective manner that suits their lifestyle and financial realities.
