Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions through surgically placed titanium posts that fuse with jawbone tissue. Our practice offers All-on-4 implants and traditional implant placements using advanced 3D imaging technology. Patients benefit from restored chewing function, improved speech, and natural-looking results that maintain facial structure.
Jaw Bone Grafting
Jaw bone grafting procedures restore lost bone volume to support dental implants or treat periodontal disease effects. We use autogenous bone grafts and growth factors to stimulate natural bone regeneration. This treatment enables successful implant placement while preventing further bone deterioration and maintaining facial aesthetics.
TMJ Treatment
Our TMJ treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders through conservative and surgical approaches. We diagnose and treat chronic jaw pain, clicking sounds, and limited movement using customized treatment plans. Options include occlusal adjustments, physical therapy, and surgical interventions for severe cases.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Impacted wisdom tooth removal prevents dental complications through precise surgical extractions. Our surgeons use advanced imaging to assess tooth position and develop minimally invasive removal techniques. Patients receive post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing and complication prevention.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry options help patients undergo surgical procedures with reduced anxiety and discomfort. We offer intravenous sedation administered by certified professionals to ensure safe and comfortable treatment experiences. This service benefits patients with dental phobias or complex surgical needs.

You can't do better than Dr. Trofa: Talented and caring doctor, great staff and very pleasant office workers. I personally drive a half an hour past my local dental offices to see Dr. Trofa. Dental work is never on anybody's top 10 list of things to do. However, if you need a professional and caring doctor I very strongly recommend Dr. Trofa.

All 3 of my daughters had their wisdom teeth removed here. Great service and more importantly great people. The doctors and staff are so kind and thorough. Medical services can be very costly, but the office manager went way above and way beyond to help get the insurance to pay the bill! I am so grateful for the patience and persistence! Thank you!

Recently saw Dr. Trofa for an extraction -- my tooth had been bothering me for days and my dentist wanted me to be seen ASAP. Dr. Trofa's office got me in that day. The office staff was caring and made the entire process so easy. The surgery was so much easier than expected and was back at work the next day. I cannot thank the office and Dr. Trofa enough!
