At Cleary & Sands, Dr. John Sands plans, places and restores dental implants in our Oxford office. The doctor responsible for placing your implants also plans the replacement teeth they will support.
With more than 12 years of comprehensive dental experience, he can also assess damaged teeth and older dental work as part of your overall plan.
You don’t need to choose a procedure before meeting Dr. Sands. We can discuss implants for missing teeth alongside ways to repair or improve the teeth you still have.
Your doctor will explain which options fit your teeth, health and goals.

Let us know when you arrange your visit. Nitrous oxide and IV sedation are available. Your doctor will explain which comfort options are appropriate for your health and planned treatment.
That depends on your treatment and starting point. A suitable tooth may be restored with a CEREC crown in one visit.
