He continuously studies with some of the top dentists in the country and maintains high standards for keeping up with the latest techniques and technology of modern dentistry.

His extensive knowledge of complex surgical procedures, orthodontics, endodontics, dental implants and full-mouth reconstruction gives him the ability to make accurate diagnoses and plan comprehensive and advanced treatments.

We provide patients with comprehensive dental services, using advanced technology for better results. Dr. Liska offers a range of great services from cosmetic to general dentistry, dental implants, full mouth restoration and orthodontics.

Dr. Liska treats you as an individual when planning your treatment. He understands that everyone is different and has their own specific needs. Thats why he makes an effort to explain your treatment options and listen to your dental goals. Most importantly, he makes sure that you are entirely comfortable and relaxed, and if you are anxious or nervous he can alleviate any concerns related to your treatment.

Our 3D Panoramic Cone Beam X-ray emits 2% of the amount of radiation of traditional X-rays, and our advanced intraoral video cameras give an in-depth look at your mouth, enabling Dr. Liska to find problem areas not otherwise seen. This technology provides Dr. Liska with detailed information that is vital for planning effective treatment. He even uses computer software to plan complex surgical procedures with precision, which shortens the amount of time you have to spend in the dental chair and minimizes potential complications.

Our friendly staff provides outstanding care in a relaxing and modern environment. Our office features some great comfort amenities, including televisions in every room, a selection of drinks in our lobby, and extra cushions and blankets to help you relax when youre in the dental chair.

In addition, Dr. Liska has special training in conscious sedation for patients who are nervous, or to make longer and more complex surgical procedures easier on the patient. His technique for delivering injections is also careful and painless.

Dental implants are the modern method for effective tooth replacement. Whether you have a single tooth that has decayed to the point of requiring extraction, or if you are looking to stabilize your loose dentures, dental implants are an ideal permanent replacement option.

A dental implant is composed of a root made of durable, biocompatible material that is placed into the jawbone and integrates with the surrounding bone. The second part of the implant, called the abutment, is the mount on which the restoration (crown) is placed.

Dr. Liska holds a Fellowship and Mastership in Oral Implantology from the American Dental Implant Association. His extensive knowledge, gained from over 35 years of practicing restoration dentistry, has given him the ability to provide patients with excellent results.

Dr. Liska has worked on many hundreds of complex cases involving restorative dentistry and implants. For instance, while serving in the army as a dentist, he treated Vietnam veterans who had suffered extensive facial trauma, and gained valuable experience planning and performing reconstructive surgery.

Dr. Liska uses advanced procedures and equipment to ensure the success of your dental implant. 3D X-rays are used to get detailed images of your jaw andcomputer designed guided surgery can be used to precisely plan your implant placement. If bone grafting is needed to place the implant, Dr. Liska uses the latest methods and materials to regrow bone.

We use the latest in dental technology for minimally invasive, efficient and comfortable treatment. The tools he uses also speed up recovery time. Read about some of our equipment and procedures below.

Our office uses a 3D Cone Beam scanner that takes high quality images of the supporting structures of the face and mouth, giving Dr. Liska an accurate and detailed view for planning surgical procedures. The images are produced on a computer monitor instantaneously and are much more informative than traditional X-rays.

Dr. Liska designs surgical procedures using the Kodak Carestream surgical planning software. This computer assisted design software helps Dr. Liska create a surgical guide that maintains precision accuracy while performing the various surgical procedures. Another benefit of using 3D planning is that Dr. Liska is able to see all the various factors, such as bone amount and density, and the angle in which he must place the dental implant for the most beneficial effect.

Once Dr. Liska has used computer software to plan the implant surgery, when needed, he creates a surgical guide to ensure the implant is placed in the precise place. This increases the amount of time and ease for placing implants, meaning more comfort and less time spent in the dental chair.

Guided surgery not only lessens the time needed for surgery but it makes the implant placement a minimally invasive procedure since there is ideally no need for incisions or suturing. The guide makes sure the implant is placed in the exact spot it needs to be for proper integration and strength.

Dr. Liska uses some of the best materials and techniques for bone grafting and sinus lifts. He bases his treatment on his advanced training and takes a conservative approach. The benefits are that the treatment is less traumatic, faster healing for the patient, more economical and reduces the chances of post-operative complications.

The method of placing implants with precision computer technology allows for the greatest post-operative comfort. Dr. Liska also prescribes the proper medications after treatment is finished to help keep you as comfortable as possible while you are healing.

Dr. Liska can help you replace your missing teeth with beautiful, natural looking restorations in the form of crowns, bridges or dentures fitted to implants. Depending on your specific needs, Dr. Liska will come up with the best restoration suited to your needs. A team approach is used to obtain your new smile, often ten to fifteen people you never see are involved in the process of giving you the smile you deserve.

Once an implant is placed, most patients cant even tell the difference between it and their natural teeth. You are able to eat as normal, and with full chewing power. Dental Implants also have the added benefit of looking more natural than dentures.

Dr. Liska uses dental implants that are biocompatible and made from a long-lasting titanium material that is medical grade ISO and CS certified. However, even implants can suffer the same periodontic issues as natural teeth, meaning required hygienic care and regular cleanings visits to the dentist are required.

The adjacent teeth of a missing tooth can become destabilized, causing them to shift or rotate towards the gap. This shifting can affect your bite and overall ability to chew. A poor bite can also lead to jaw and musculature problems such as TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction.

Jawbone deteriorates in the space of a missing tooth. This is because the jawbone is typically strengthened by the natural tooth roots structure. It is also conditioned from the pressure of chewing to maintain its density. Implants act as natural teeth and provide the required stimulation of the jawbone, preventing bone loss.

With progressive bone loss (resorption) caused by open spaces of missing teeth, the height between the base of the nose and chin can decrease, causing the lower facial structure to collapse. With this collapse comes an increased amount of wrinkles around the mouth, thinning of the lips and saggy skin. These side effects can make a person look much older than they really are. Dental implants preserve bone levels so this collapsing effect doesnt occur.

Dental implants provide added chewing power and stabilization for denture wearers. With dental implants there is no more need for messy adhesives or uncomfortable soreness and pain caused by the constant moving and rubbing of the dentures.
