Nice note I received from this wonderful patient :-)))

I consider myself very lucky to have found such an outstanding dental professional.
Over the years he has done some truly amazing work for both my husband and me. He filled, he fixed, he patched, repaired and replaced, while employing the latest innovations in dentistry. All this with a cheerful, kind attitude that would put the most anxious person at ease. Not just best in his field, but BEST ALL AROUND! You can not imagine just how wonderful my new teeth feel! The fit is simply perfect!! My whole outlook has changed and I feel like a new person. Thank you, thank you! I could not be happier!!!
We have the highest regard for Dr. Philip Gentry and recommend him without reservation.

This patient lost his 2 lower central incisors. We placed a bone graft to build up his lower jaw, and I made him an immediate partial denture while he heals. We will place dental implants in 3-4 months.

Bone grafts of the week

Following the removal of a tooth, there is a large hole left in the extraction site. The area resorbs and collapses. In order to preserve the extraction socket, dentists place a bone graft. This is very important especially when an implant will be placed. In these photos I demonstrate the placement of a bone graft and collagen membrane following a surgical extraction.
