Can you handle everything in one office, or will I be referred out?+
Almost everything is done here. Dr. Carroll places and restores implants, does orthodontics, oral surgery, cosmetic work, and emergency care. Fewer referrals means fewer trips — especially helpful when you're driving in from Shell Lake.
