Come See Our Periodontist

As a third-generation dental professional, Dr. Ryan Clagett understands the importance of providing exceptional care and treating every patient like family. He is a board-certified periodontist and has undergone extensive training in tooth and gum health. From dental implants and implant dentures to gum recession treatment and gum surgery, he tailors each treatment plan to his patients’ unique needs and goals. Dr. Clagett is abreast of the latest techniques and technology in the field and developed the SAMRI technique as a less invasive method for treating gum disease with fewer complications.


Our Periodontal Procedures

Periodontal care is not one-size-fits-all, and our periodontist offers a variety of treatments to address your smile’s unique needs and your concerns.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are small titanium posts that serve as substitute tooth roots for missing teeth. Dr. Ryan Clagett precisely inserts them into the jaw, where they fuse with the existing bone before a permanent crown is attached. This creates a strong, natural-looking replacement tooth that blends in with your smile and allows you to return to eating all of the foods you enjoy and speaking more naturally. Dental implants are cared for just like natural teeth, and they can last for the rest of your lifetime, making them a cost-effective, long-term solution.

Implant Dentures

Much like traditional dentures, implant dentures are used to replace a full arch of upper or lower teeth. However, they are a fixed solution that is held in place by four dental implants to keep the dentures from shifting when you eat, drink, or speak. You do not need to remove them for cleaning or sleeping, and they can be more comfortable than traditional dentures because they do not rely on the gums for support. With implant dentures, you can design a beautiful smile to boost your confidence and replace missing teeth.
