Shanks Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Patient Review
Dr. Shanks was more than willing to take my daughter’s medical history into consideration when making a plan for surgery. We left with two options and a month to consult with her physician prior to making a final decision. He was incredibly supportive and informative.

Patient Review
Had a wisdom tooth removed. Was treated with kindness and respect. Dr Shanks explained what to expect before extraction and after. I was given an iv medication and remember nothing. I had no pain afterwards. Very happy I’m not dealing with a painful tooth anymore.

Patient Review
I walked in with a referral after visiting my dentist. The plan was just to get the consultation appt set up but they got me in for that within 30 mins that day. They have already contacted me on day one with a cancelation trying to accommodate me better for my extraction appt. Wonderful staff and Shanks is as pleasant as they come with lots of personality!

Patient Review
First time visiting, and the staff and surgeon were extremely friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond in fitting me in (unscheduled, sudden problem) and in making a follow up appointment that worked for my transportation needs. This was a very positive experience at a rather stressful time.

Patient Review
Dr. Shanks performed two extractions, a bone graft, and implants for me over a nine-month period. Initially, I was apprehensive and uncertain about the process, but Dr. Shanks’ professionalism and confidence put me at ease. He thoroughly explained my options and shared his insights, ensuring that I felt comfortable throughout my care. His work was successful, my experience was positive, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of dental surgery. Dr. Shanks and his office are kind and professional.
