Our Services
Routine Exams & Cleaning
Comprehensive exams and thorough dental cleanings to diagnose any problems and maintain an ideal oral health
Fillings
Aesthetic, tooth-colored fillings for the replacement of simple cavities
Crowns & Veneers
Individually designed crowns and veneers to repair any functional or aesthetic damage to your teeth
Dental Implants
We are experts in replacing a single missing tooth up to ‘All-on-4’ or ‘Teeth in a day’ - In general, the 'Teeth in a day' concept can be very misleading for patients. As a specialist in this procedure, please call to schedule a consult with Dr. Zurek so he can best explain what the process is and if you are a good candidate for this type of therapy.
Smile Makeover
As a prosthodontist, my work provides the highest level of aesthetics dentistry can offer. Prosthodontics is considered the pinnacle of aesthetic training in dentistry, and is very different than what is simply known as ‘cosmetic dentistry’
Preventative Care
In addition to fixing just about any dental problems, we also are very involved with preventative treatment to help avoid any potential dental issues.

We Put A Smile On People's Faces

“I saw Dr. Zurek over a period of a couple of years getting implant repairs and installation as well as other restorative work. I enjoyed his manner which is very patient centered. He performed difficult modifications to a damaged implant that was amazing. I looked forward to my visits because of his genuine interest in me as a person. I am a generation older, but he related to me as a peer. He educates his patients with descriptive narrative while working. Very upbeat, responsive, and kind.”

“I saw Dr. Zurek for front tooth dental implant. He was able to take a complicated case that required advanced surgery following root removal. Dr. Zurek provided complex specialized treatment with excellent results. He is a kind, compassionate and knowledgeable dentist whose care is outstanding. Skillful and gentle. Highly recommended.”

“Dr Zurek changed my life. When I first went to see Dr Zurek I had a very complicated set of problems. I was going back and forth with a number of specialists and no one would take charge of my case. Dr Zurek took charge. He reassured me that my issues could be fixed and he managed my case all the way to resolution. He changed my life.”
