Dr. Salava

As a dentist, Dr. Salava has the opportunity to meet and care for so many awesome people. He believes every person has a unique story that deserves to be heard – just like every smile is unique.

Dental Implants

While natural teeth are always our first choice, dental implants are the next best option for your smile. As the gold standard in tooth replacement, implants restore both function and aesthetics – allowing you to eat and smile with complete confidence. Our team provides comprehensive implant care in-office, ensuring your entire treatment takes place in a familiar, comfortable environment.

Invisalign

Transform your smile discreetly with Invisalign's custom-crafted clear aligners. This comfortable, removable alternative to traditional braces effectively straightens teeth while fitting seamlessly into your lifestyle. Schedule a complimentary consultation to discover if Invisalign is right for you.

Sleep Apnea Treatment

Looking for an alternative to CPAP therapy? We offer custom-fitted oral appliances that are comfortable, portable, and easy to use. These devices work similarly to custom-crafted night guards to help maintain open airways during sleep, providing a less invasive solution for sleep apnea management.

Knowledgeable, professional and courteous service from the moment I walked in the door. My Hygienist, Bridget and Dr. Salava are the best!

Dr. Salava and his staff are some of the most compassionate and friendly people I’ve worked with in the medical field. Every experience I have at the office is an excellent one.

Dr.Salava, is the best dentist I’ve ever had!! He’s kind, caring, and compassionate. I’ve been seeing him for my implant “process,” and he’s been nothing short of amazing!! He has kept me informed of every detail of the process, and is always concerned if you call with any issue. Everyone in his office is amazing, and I honestly wouldn’t want to go anywhere else. I decided on him out of 1000+ Drs. I could have seen from Topeka to Kc. Dr.Salava’s office and staff are knowledgeable, efficient, and willing to do what it took for me to be proud of the teeth in my mouth. He explained every step and process to a T, and eliminated a lot of my anxiety committing to the process. If you’re in need of dental work of any kind, I’d strongly suggest Dr. Salava.

Tinh M.

Everyone there is super friendly and professional! Recently Dr. Salava did an implant and a bridge for me. Both look absolutely amazing!!! My hygienist, Jackie, always does an outstanding job in cleaning my teeth.

Denise B.

I am grateful for the excellent care I received for my problem tooth. From the endodontic referral, getting me in for care when Dr. Salava was unavailable, to scheduling around my travel plans. The entire staff was caring, kind and helpful.
