Beyond Replacement — Restoring Life, Strength, and Confidence
The CARE | Smiles + Skin Approach to Dental Implants
Dr. Andy Burton, Diplomate ABOI/ID | Fellow AAID
A smile is more than teeth.
It's how you express joy, how you nourish your body, how you connect with others — and how you see yourself in the mirror each day.
When a tooth is lost, something deeper is affected: function, confidence, facial harmony, and long-term health. At CARE | Smiles + Skin, dental implants are not simply about replacing what’s missing. They are about restoring balance — biologically, esthetically, and emotionally.
This is regenerative implant dentistry guided by science, artistry, and compassion.
Our Philosophy: Regenerative Dentistry Meets Human-Centered Care
Many implant practices focus on mechanics.
At CARE, we focus on biology first.
Every treatment plan is designed to support the body’s natural healing ability while restoring strength and aesthetics in harmony with your unique facial structure.
Our North Star is simple:
🌿 Preserve bone and soft tissue
🌿 Restore natural function
🌿 Elevate confidence without looking artificial
🌿 Support long-term health, not just short-term results
Dental implants become part of a larger vision — one where dentistry, facial esthetics, and regenerative medicine work together.
What Makes CARE Implant Dentistry Different?
Patients often arrive after researching extensively or feeling overwhelmed by options. What they discover here is a more intentional approach.

Advanced Digital Precision
3D CBCT imaging, digital smile design, and AI-guided workflows allow us to plan implant placement with extraordinary accuracy — minimizing trauma and enhancing long-term stability.
Regenerative Healing Protocols
We integrate biologically driven therapies such as:
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
Laser-assisted healing
Tissue-preserving surgical techniques
Holistic treatment planning
These approaches support healthier soft tissue, improved bone response, and more predictable outcomes.
Esthetic Integration
At CARE | Smiles + Skin, we use the Fotona Laser, which stimulates new collagen for a refreshed look along with rejuvenated skin.
A restored tooth should never look like an “implant.”
It should look like you — only stronger, more balanced, and more confident.
Our design philosophy considers facial proportions, lip dynamics, and long-term aging patterns so your results feel natural today and years from now.
We incorporate facial esthetics and peri-oral facial regeneration techniques to rejuvenate your skin and leave with a refreshed look.
Dental Implants: Restoring the Root of Health
Anatomy of an Implant: This image shows the side-by-side comparison of the anatomy of a natural tooth versus a dental implant.
A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth — not just the visible crown. This distinction is what makes implants biologically transformative.
When the root is restored:
The jawbone receives stimulation again
Bone density is preserved
Surrounding teeth remain stable
Facial support is maintained
Through osseointegration, the implant becomes anchored within the bone, creating a foundation that functions much like a natural tooth.
The CARE Implant Journey
Every patient’s path is unique, but the experience is intentionally designed to feel clear, calm, and supportive.
1. Discover & Design
We begin with a comprehensive consultation — listening to your goals, evaluating your health, and using advanced imaging to design a treatment plan around your biology.
2. Guided Implant Placement
Implants are placed using precise digital workflows. IV sedation options help create a relaxed and comfortable experience.
3. Regenerative Healing Phase
During healing, the body integrates with the implant. Our protocols focus on minimizing inflammation and optimizing tissue health.
4. Smile Restoration
Your custom restoration is crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural smile — restoring strength while maintaining elegance and harmony.
Immediate Transformation: Teeth in a Day
For select patients, advanced planning allows temporary teeth to be placed the same day as implant surgery.
This approach is ideal when:
Bone stability is strong
Bite forces can be carefully managed
Esthetic needs are immediate
Our philosophy prioritizes long-term health over speed — ensuring that immediate solutions are used only when biologically appropriate.
Leadership in Implant Dentistry
CARE | Smiles + Skin reflects decades of advanced education and a commitment to excellence.
Dr. Andy Burton holds:
Diplomate — American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry
Fellow — American Academy of Implant Dentistry
Fellow — Advanced Dental Implant Institute
These distinctions represent advanced mastery in surgical and restorative implant care — ensuring patients receive treatment grounded in rigorous clinical standards.
But beyond credentials, patients often describe something deeper:
a sense of being heard, supported, and truly cared for.
The Emotional Transformation Patients Experience
Implants change more than smiles.
Patients tell us they:
Laugh more freely
Eat comfortably again
Feel younger and more aligned with how they see themselves
Some arrive feeling discouraged after years of dental challenges. Watching them rediscover confidence — that quiet moment when they smile without hesitation — is one of the most meaningful parts of our work.
Who Is a Candidate for CARE Implant Dentistry?
Most adults whose growth is complete can be evaluated for implants.
Even patients with:
Bone loss
Previous dental trauma
Complex restorative needs
Full-arch tooth loss
may still qualify through regenerative planning and advanced techniques.
Your journey begins with understanding your unique biology — not fitting you into a one-size-fits-all solution.
Longevity Through Partnership
Dental implants are designed for decades of function, but their success depends on a partnership between doctor and patient.
Long-term care includes:
Consistent hygiene visits
Bite and occlusion monitoring
Preventive laser therapies when indicated
Ongoing evaluation of tissue health
Our goal is not simply to place implants — it is to help them thrive for years to come.
