What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.
The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.
In addition, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.
Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dr. Saunders has placed more than 7,000 implants over the past 30 years with great success. If you feel implant dentistry is the choice for you, we invite you to take advantage of a complimentary 3D Scan, exam, and financial consult where you can meet Dr. Saunders and discuss all of your questions and options. Your questions and concerns are important to us and the PCE Team will work with you very closely to help make your solution a success.
During this time the PCE Team will also review your insurance coverage and available financing options. There are many types of insurance plans with varying dental implant coverage and we will be happy to assist you in understanding and obtaining any benefits to which you may be entitled. Regardless of your insurance coverage, we will also show you multiple financing options that can make your procedure more affordable.
What is TeethXpress?
Many people who are missing several teeth or wear fixed-bridges, removable partial-dentures or conventional dentures don’t like the way they look or function.
The TeethXpress procedure offers a much better solution to achieving an attractive, natural looking smile. Your dental implant supported teeth will allow you to eat your favorite foods again and go about your daily life with confidence!
Dr. Saunders is a Certified TeethXpress Provider and can help determine if the TeethXpress procedure is the solution for you. With a complimentary 3D Scan, exam, and financial consult the PCE Team will provide everything you need for you to make the decision that is right for you. 
The staff and front desk have always been very polite and accommodating.Dr. Saunders is a very accomplished periodontist. He is patient and caring.I highly recommend this practice.

Thanks so much to Dr. Sanders for be honest and caring with me during my visit. His staff is the most well put together team with the best personalities. My oral surgery was a breeze thanks to them. And to Dr. Sanders who saw me as who I am, not a dollar sign. Many dentists are in it for the money. Well this guy isn't. He's for real and I love that! Thanks again Doc, you're the best! I will be back.

Dr. Saunders and Jan are very professional and friendly. They made my consultation both informative and honest. No heavy sales pitch as with some dentists. I previously had oral surgery by Dr. Saunders, and I didn’t hesitate to return for his opinion regarding my current dental concerns. I highly recommend him and his office staff.

Great experience with Dr. Saunders, usually not a fan of going to get work done by new peeps but everyone was super nice and it was painless! The waiting room was clean and I didn’t have to wait to long so I’ll be using him again for some other work I gotta have done

Dr. Saunders has taken great care of my periodontal disease. He uses state of the art equipment (e.g. laser) and the whole staff is friendly and they do a great job. Appointments are always on time. I have been going there for four years and have maintenance/cleaning appointments every six months. My perio is greatly improved and I highly recommend Dr. Saunders.

I’ve had two tooth extractions with Dr. Saunders over the span of 4 years. I like Dr. Saunders because he’s incredibly knowledgeable and has great patient care skills. He put my mind completely as ease when I came to his office for a consultation/second opinion. His staff treats you with kindness and respect that I haven’t seen elsewhere. His practice is a true reflection of the passion and years Dr. Saunders has poured into it. I would highly recommend.

Arrived early. Seen early. Dental tech took the time to explain what was being done and provided welcome advice on how to improve my dental techniques at home. Waited only a few moments between end of cleaning and arrival of Dr Sanders who conducted an exam. WELL DONE.

I wasn't looking forward to having my tooth extracted, (who does, right?) but Dr. Saunders and his awesome assistant, Roxy are top notch. I didn't have a choice, about my tooth BUT I did have a choice where I went. Thank you for a painless experience. Roxy's pat on my shoulder was comforting, as well as Dr S. describing what he was doing. No anxiety at all! I highly recommend your practice.
