Board-certified care for the most complex cases.

A dental implant is a titanium post placed into the jawbone that integrates with your own biology to form a permanent foundation for a replacement tooth. For a single missing tooth, a multi-tooth bridge, or a complete arch, implants are the most predictable, long-lasting solution we can offer.

At CCAD, every implant case is planned and executed by the same specialist — the surgical placement, the prosthetic design, and the final restoration. Dr. Schelkopf is a board-certified prosthodontist with additional surgical implant fellowship training, so the surgery is designed with the final restoration in mind from the very first appointment. That single-hand workflow is what separates a good implant outcome from a great one.

Prosthodontics is the dental specialty dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment planning, and reconstruction of complex restorative cases. Patients who have lost teeth to disease, wear, or trauma — or who have inherited conditions affecting tooth structure — benefit from the depth of training a specialist brings.

Dr. Schelkopf is a board-certified prosthodontist with both surgical and prosthetic training. That dual expertise means every reconstructive case is planned with the final result in mind from the very first appointment, ensuring that surgery, bone management, soft tissue, and the final restoration all align toward the same outcome.

Healthy bone and soft tissue are the foundation of every restorative outcome — from a single crown to a full-arch implant reconstruction. Dr. Schelkopf's surgical implant fellowship adds advanced surgical training to his prosthodontic specialty residency, allowing him to manage the full range of surgical preparation in-house: implant placement, bone grafting, sinus lifts, and ridge augmentation.

Because the same specialist is responsible for both the surgery and the final restoration, every surgical decision is made with the prosthetic endpoint in mind. That alignment is what allows our patients to expect predictable, long-lasting outcomes.

Dental trauma and aesthetic emergencies — a fractured or avulsed front tooth, a broken or debonded restoration, a failing implant, or acute pain and infection — almost always demand two things at once: immediate stabilization, and a plan that protects the long-term outcome. Done together, they save the tooth and the smile. Done in isolation, they often don’t.

Dr. Schelkopf manages the full arc of an emergency — from the first stabilization to the definitive restoration — with the same standard of care used in every elective case. The right repair, delivered at the right time, so the final result looks as if nothing ever happened.
