Valley Implants and Oral Surgery | Dr. Travis Sorensen D.D.S.

Losing a back tooth rarely announces itself as a crisis. It is more often a slow accumulation: a root canal that failed, a crown that came off one too many times, a gap you learned to chew around. Then a dentist mentions that the bone underneath is thinning and the neighboring teeth are drifting into the space. That is the conversation that sends most people in Davis County looking for an implant surgeon.

Valley Implants and Oral Surgery is Dr. Travis Sorensen's practice, on the second floor at 625 East 500 South in Bountiful, a block off the 500 South connector that links US-89 with the I-15 interchange. That puts it within roughly ten minutes of Woods Cross, North Salt Lake, Centerville and much of Farmington, without anyone having to cross into Salt Lake traffic. Dr. Sorensen is a board-certified oral surgeon with more than a decade in practice, and the office also runs a second location in Pleasant View, north of Ogden. Weekday hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with no weekend clinic.

The service list reflects a surgical practice weighted toward implants and reconstruction: implant placement, bone grafting, pre-prosthetic surgery to prepare a ridge for dentures, wisdom tooth extraction, exposure of impacted canines for orthodontic treatment, oral pathology, and platelet-rich plasma and PRF injections for the jaw joint. Low-radiation 3D imaging is used to map nerve position and bone volume before surgery is planned. Sedation is tailored to the procedure and to your medical history rather than offered as a single default setting, and emergency oral surgery is part of what the office covers.

One honest caveat on implants: the surgeon places the fixture, but the crown or bridge that sits on it is usually made by your general dentist, so the total cost is split across two offices and the two quotes need to be added together before you decide anything. Grafting, sinus work and the number of units all move the figure. Ask for the imaging findings in plain language, meaning how much bone is actually there and how close the nerve runs, because that is what determines your plan.
