They provide solutions like "All on Four" implants, allowing patients to receive a full set of teeth, often immediately. The clinic also handles oral surgery procedures designed to restore oral health and function, including tooth extractions and bone grafting, though another clinic (South Bend Oral Surgery Partners) is also associated with a "Dr. Paul" and offers similar services.

The clinic aims to provide "dental health care" rather than just "disease care," focusing on preventative measures and educating patients for long-term oral health.
