Why Choose Chemung for Implants?

Experience you can trust:

Dr. Dunn is a Fellow of the American College of Dentists and a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine. His pioneering work in implants means you benefit from the latest techniques and proven results.

Comprehensive care under one roof:

Our on-site partnership with board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Nicholas Petti means you don't have to travel elsewhere for implant surgery. From extraction to restoration, you remain with the team who knows you.

Premium materials & personalised plans:

As a fee-for-service practice we select implant systems based on quality, not insurance restrictions. Together we'll determine whether a single implant, implant bridge or full-arch solution fits your needs and budget.

Comfort & peace of mind:

Real patient stories:

Patients drive from 25 miles away because of the care they receive here. One wrote, "The implant surgery was trouble-free, painless and took no more than 15 minutes to perform. I received a call from Dr. Dunn that evening to make sure I was OK." We invite you to read more success stories on our website.

The Implant Process

Complimentary consultation:

We discuss your goals, review your health and take digital scans. There is no fee and no pressure.

Custom plan & financing options:

Surgery & healing:

We'll show you how to care for your implant and schedule regular check-ups. Expect a phone call from us after surgery to see how you're doing.
