Dr. Shanks is as good as it gets. This will be my 4th implant he's done for me.

Patient Review
I was apprehensive about having a procedure where I would be sedated using anesthesia due to a rare allergy I have. Dr. Shanks took the time to explain the anesthesia he would be using and assured me I would have no reaction. He was right! I woke up from the procedure, pain free and now I can eat pain free! Everyone was very kind and patient. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to my friends or family!

Went in for consult, very nice and explained everything thoroughly for my 12y old. She’s a little more “at ease” than before the appointment. 🙂

Patient Review
I had a tooth pulled. After the preliminary check in procedures they took me back to the surgery room. Two nurses were busy getting everything ready for Dr. Shanks. The nurses were so friendly and efficient that was able to relax and feel confident that I was in the right place. Dr. Shanks came in and spoke with me for about 20 minutes. He explained everything that was going to happen and answered all questions. They put me to sleep with gas and an injection. I woke up seemingly minutes later. I walked to the car with a little help from my wife. They sent me home with prescriptions for hydrocodone and amoxicillin. I alternate the hydrocodone with over the counter ibuprofen. The area where the tooth came out was kind of achy for about 2 days. Otherwise I have been pain free. I go back in a few weeks to have an implant installed.

Shanks office made everything so easy from the beginning to the end! They were friendly, prompt and did a fantastic job with my son and extracting his wisdom teeth. We were in and out within an hour. I can’t say enough great things about this office, the staff and doctor!

I highly recommend Dr. Shanks. He knows what he's doing and does it well and efficiently. I was highly anxious about having an implant but Dr. Shanks (as busy as he was) sat down and talked me through it. I'd done all that worrying for nothing as the surgery was done and I never had any pain afterward! More than likely there will come the day when another implant will be needed. Dr. Shanks will certainly be the oral surgeon I will go to.

Patient Review
I was very impressed with Dr. Shanks. He is very knowledgeable about dental issues. He took the time to explain the procedure and answered all of my questions. He listened to my concerns and was very caring and considerate. Update: I had my initial procedure with Dr. Shanks today. He went above and beyond. I recommend him to anyone that needs oral surgery.
