Kind words from our patients

Love Dr. Skene!! I have had many problems with implants. She somehow made them work in my terrible mouth. She is very good at her profession and her bedside manner is welcoming and warm. I started crying in her chair one day, and she got a tissue and wiped my tears. I mean how sweet is that?

Dr. Skene is the best. She always takes the best care of me. She has put in multiple implants and i have always been satisfied with the results. She takes great care to make sure it is a mostly a pain free experience, except for the shots of course, and they are not really that bad, I just dread shots.

Jeannine H.

Dr. Skene was wonderful. She was so kind, explained everything clearly (before and during the procedure), and was skilled, caring, and efficient. I had been dreading this procedure for days and when it was all over, I thought, "my gosh! I wish I could have known how well that would go!" The office staff were good to work with and friendly too. An overall good experience, which is saying a lot when you have to have dental work done!

DENTAL IMPLANTS

We are proud to offer dental implants for our patients. Dental implants are roots placed in your mouth for either permanent teeth to be placed on or ones that you can remove.

GUM GRAFTING

Gum grafting treatment for receding gums works best for patients who are suffering from more extensive gum loss where gum disease cannot be resolved by a professional cleaning alone. This procedure can help repair the damaged area of the gums and work to prevent further gum tissue loss. In addition to stopping recession, gum graft treatment will better protect the roots of the teeth from decay by giving the patient more gum line, and reduce tooth sensitivity to hot and cold foods.

CROWN LENGTHENING

For patients who believe that their smile is too “gummy” or that their teeth are too short, we are proud to offer crown lengthening services to fix those concerns. Crown lengthening procedures are done to expose more of the tooth and remove extra gum tissue. By doing this, we can reshape your gums and help give your teeth the look and shape you desire. In addition to the life-changing results, crown lengthening is a minimally-invasive procedure that will allow for a more balanced, even smile.
