Dental Implants
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer the function, look, and beauty of natural teeth and a nearly complete return to oral function and dental health. No other tooth replacement solution in dentistry can provide these benefits, all of which can be achieved in our office without any referrals out to another office for care. At the forefront of implant dentistry, Dr. Connelly is a Master of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and has received live surgical implant training from Dr. Carlos Roa, one of the most renowned oral and maxillofacial surgeons in Mexico and a pioneer in his field in Latin America.

IV Sedation
IV Sedation
Dr. Connelly is certified to administer IV sedation and has completed over 1,300 problem-free sedation cases. IV sedation lets you “sleep” comfortably through your treatment and leave our office without any (or very little) recollection of your appointment. Unlike any other conscious sedation options, IV sedation gives you a completely anxiety-free experience, no matter how simple, complex, or time-consuming your procedure is. With fully customized levels of sedation administered intravenously for optimal anxiety and pain control, you won’t have to worry about uncomfortable, stressful dental visits ever again.

I want to just say I can’t thank you enough for giving me a reason to smile again and for all the kindness you showed.
J.P.C. 
I just wanted to send a thank you note after my recent crown and root canal. I was very nervous and even with the unexpected root canal, I knew I made the right choice coming to you. I was very pleased you could do everything in one visit and that you stayed late to do so. I was also very impressed with the follow up call. Much to my surprise I was in very little pain and even started eating on it by the second day.
A.T.
I’d like you to know that you’re the best dentist I’ve ever had. Can I take you to Traverse City area? You have corrected my periodontal problems. You are very thorough and conscientious in your work. Because of your efforts my teeth and mouth is healthier than it has been in 20 yrs. I’ll never forget your gentle care.
J.J.
I didn’t feel or remember a thing. I am still amazed at how much dentistry was done while I was sedated. It’s the only way to go.”
I use to dread going to the dentist. The anxiety about my dental appointment would keep me awake the night before. I was a wreck! With sedation dentistry, I no longer dread having my dental work done.
