The new state of the art equipment such as the cone beam iCat provides in-office CAT scans that precisely identify the anatomic structures associated with wisdom teeth. Also, the placement of dental implants can be an exact science with computer assisted “virtual surgery”. The reconstruction of the face/facial skeleton can also be done with the same technology. Dr. Johnson has become one of the leading surgeons in placing dental implants, especially using the All-on-4™ implant supported bridge technique. He is often invited to lecture on the topic and is always on the leading edge of innovation. Nevada Oral & Facial Surgery is one of few offices in the country to be equipped with this fabulous experience and technology.
The dynamic combination of Dr. Johnson's excellent academic standings and advanced technology, along with his outgoing and confident approach to patient care, immediately puts his patients at ease. Dr. Johnson understands the anxiety many people experience when going to the doctor. That is why meticulous detail is paid to the entire patient experience. Dr. Johnson and his Team believe that “when patients seek the expertise of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, they're seeking to transform their lives.” When patients are seeking this level of specialization, they come to Nevada Oral & Facial Surgery.
