This group of professionals is the greatest! From the front desk to the back office, nothing but sweet caring people and excellence in oral surgery! I had to go from local anesthesia to full and they handled the transition perfectly even though it crammed into their other procedure times. This is the place to go to get your specialty dentistry done!

The whole procedure was very impressive, from explaining in details, the time it took, I was unaware of the time, very quick! Excellent in explaining medication and what to expect after.

Dr. Shanks was extremely professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone! I have had dental work in the past and felt like someone had beat my face but not this time! I’m not even really sore! Will definitely use him for any future dental procedures.

Dr. Shanks was very gracious and professional when he first saw my wife for an emergency 4 years ago. Dr. Shanks saw my wife again this week to discuss an elective procedure, and once again was very gracious. He answered all of my wife's questions and explained the planned procedure very well.
