The practice specializes in oral and maxillofacial surgery and periodontics, providing a wide range of advanced dental solutions. It is led by a husband-and-wife team of experienced specialists: Dr. Manuel La Rosa, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and Dr. Silvia La Rosa, a periodontist. Dr. Manuel La Rosa offers a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery, including wisdom tooth removal, reconstructive jaw surgery, diagnosis and treatment of facial injuries (jawbone, facial skeleton fractures, and soft tissue lacerations), and oral pathology (benign and malignant lesions). He is particularly skilled in highly complex dental implant reconstructions, often involving bone and soft tissue grafting procedures. Dr. La Rosa also provides cosmetic treatments such as injectable fillers and Botox, and has expertise in treating obstructive sleep apnea. He is rigorously trained and certified in administering general anesthesia, intravenous (I.V.) sedation, and ultra-light sedation, ensuring patient comfort. Dr. Manuel La Rosa has been recognized as one of the top Oral Surgeons in Seattle Metropolitan Magazine for multiple years. Dr. Silvia La Rosa specializes in Periodontology and Implantology. Her services include the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease (periodontal disease), cosmetic procedures like correcting "gummy smiles," gum grafting to enhance aesthetics, and dental implants for single or multiple missing teeth. She emphasizes a conservative approach to treatment, limiting surgery to essential areas. Sound Surgical Arts prides itself on utilizing the latest technology and techniques, including computer-guided implant surgery with 3D imaging for enhanced accuracy, increased safety, reduced recovery time, and improved aesthetics. Their comprehensive services also encompass bone grafting, sinus lifts, All-on-4 dental implants, and frenectomy. The clinic is committed to interdisciplinary diagnosis and treatment planning, collaborating with other medical and dental professionals as needed to ensure optimal patient outcomes. Patients consistently praise the clinic for its friendly, professional, and compassionate staff, thorough explanations of procedures, and the comfortable experience provided. They accept most private dental insurance and are preferred providers with Delta and Washington Dental Services (WDS), also offering flexible payment options through third-party financing like Cherry and CareCredit.
