Our story, since 2019
Husband and wife, and business partners. Local, and family owned.
Why choose us
Their mission is a dental experience like no other: honest, trustworthy and high quality. Here is what that means when you walk in.
The problem: putting off the dentist for years because it frightens you.
Nitrous oxide calms you within minutes through a small nasal mask, and you feel normal again a few minutes after it comes off. Oral conscious sedation goes further, and lets a lot of work be done in one well-managed appointment.
The problem: a messy impression, a week in a temporary, and a second appointment.
With CEREC, your porcelain crown is designed, milled and placed in a single appointment. It is metal-free, matched to your smile, and made in the office rather than sent away to a lab.
The problem: feeling rushed, then sold treatment you did not ask for.
Little to no wait time, and one-on-one attention from your dentist, who makes the effort to understand your situation before recommending anything. You will never be pressured into a procedure you do not need.
Dental implants & All-on-4
The office has “implant” in its name for a reason. Dr. Shane and Dr. Amiee perform the entire procedure themselves, so from your first consultation to your new teeth you work with the same team, and save time, money and stress along the way.
A look at your gums, bite, facial features and jaw, your options explained, and an estimate from the front office.
A local anesthetic numbs the area. You may feel pressure, but there is no pain.
Over a few months the implant bonds with the bone, then a small abutment is attached to it.
A crown, bridge or denture designed for you, fitted from a digital scan rather than a putty impression.
The back two implants are set at a 45-degree angle to use the densest bone, which greatly reduces the need for bone grafting. In most cases a temporary set of teeth goes in while you heal, so you leave with a full smile. Dr. Shane would do it every day if he could.
Fixed dentures sit on four to six implants and only a dentist can remove them. Snap-on dentures clip onto two to five implants and come out for cleaning. Both stop the slipping of a traditional denture.
Pain, movement, bleeding or swelling around an implant can mean it is failing. Call us. We find the cause first. If it is an infection, it may be treatable with the implant left in place.

★★★★★Any initial, first-time visit to a new dentist office can often feel uneasy. Not this time! Based on my first experience, JUPITER IMPLANT and COSMETIC DENISTRY in Jupiter appears to be my long-awaited go-to staff of cordial professionals. Being a nervous patient, I really needed a relaxed, confident group and I couldn't have been happier with the experience.B. GlennGoogle review

Frequently asked questions
Call the office first. For something urgent, such as a cracked tooth or one knocked out, we make arrangements to see you on the same day whenever possible. When you call, the team asks about your symptoms, gives you first-aid instructions over the phone, and works out whether you need to come in straight away.
If you have a dental plan, we can use it to help you save. We are in-network with several of the most popular PPO plans and we work with out-of-network plans as well, where the difference can be negligible depending on your policy. We file the claims for you. Call ahead and we will tell you exactly how you will be covered.
Our In-House Dental Savings Plan covers a year of preventive care for a flat annual fee, with no copays, no deductibles and no hidden fees, plus 15% off all other in-office treatment. CareCredit financing can also break larger treatment into monthly payments.
No. Dr. Shane is skilled in both placing implants and restoring them, and Dr. Shane and Dr. Amiee perform the entire procedure themselves, from the first consultation to your new teeth.
Yes. It can replace one arch at a time, but in many cases both are done at once. We always try to keep as many of your natural teeth as possible, but where all of them need replacing, doing both jaws together usually saves time and money.
While you wear the temporary teeth, avoid hard, brittle or chewy foods for roughly the first three months while the implants join with the jaw. Applesauce, broiled fish, muffins, pasta and pudding all work well. Once your permanent teeth are in, there are few limits at all.
Yes. We provide routine checkups for children, and Dr. Amiee has treated patients from the ages of 1 to 100. Nitrous oxide is gentle enough to use safely with small children who are anxious.
