Dr. Christopher Duplaga, DDS
Comprehensive Surgical Treatment
Every patient has different needs. Our approach begins with a thorough evaluation and a treatment plan designed around your health, comfort, and long-term oral health goals.
Care Built Around the Patient
Oral surgery can feel intimidating, especially when a patient is in pain, has been referred for an unfamiliar procedure, or is considering a more complex treatment plan.
Dr. Duplaga takes time to understand each patient’s concerns, review their health history, evaluate imaging, and explain what treatment may involve before moving forward.
That individualized approach helps patients know what to expect and gives them an opportunity to ask questions throughout the process.
His goal is not simply to perform a procedure. It is to help patients feel supported from the initial consultation through recovery.
Know What to Expect
Patients deserve to understand their care.
Dr. Duplaga and our team explain why treatment is being recommended, what the procedure involves, how to prepare, and what to expect during recovery.
We encourage patients to ask questions and take an active role in their treatment decisions. Clear communication helps make the process easier to understand and can reduce some of the uncertainty that often comes with oral surgery.
Advanced Implant Dentistry
Dental implants can provide a strong, stable foundation for replacing missing teeth. At Center for Oral Surgery, we offer implant solutions for patients with a wide range of needs, from replacing a single tooth to rebuilding an entire arch.
Dr. Duplaga uses advanced surgical planning to determine the most appropriate implant approach for each patient. Treatment recommendations are based on your oral health, bone structure, restorative goals, and long-term needs.
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing tooth roots and provide a secure foundation for crowns, bridges, and other restorations.
All-On-X Implants
All-On-X treatment uses strategically placed dental implants to support a fixed full-arch restoration for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth.
Same Day Implants
In select cases, dental implants may be placed during the same appointment as tooth removal, helping streamline the treatment process.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Dental implants can help stabilize dentures and provide improved comfort, function, and confidence compared with traditional removable dentures.
Zygomatic Implants
For certain patients with significant upper jaw bone loss, zygomatic implants may provide an alternative to extensive bone grafting by using the cheekbone for support.
Pterygoid Implants
Pterygoid implants may be considered in advanced cases involving limited bone in the back portion of the upper jaw.
