Ayers, McEntire and Hedgpeth are board certified periodontists. They specialize in the placement of dental implants and treatment of gum disease. The full scope of periodontal and dental implant treatment is performed, including non-surgical therapy, periodontal plastic surgery, crown lengthening, soft tissue grafts (gum grafts), dental implants, bone grafting, sinus augmentation, and sedation.
Services
The inside of the mouth is normally lined with a special type of skin (mucosa) that is smooth and coral pink in color. Any alteration in this appearance could be a warning sign for a pathological process. The most serious of these is oral cancer. These changes can be detected on the lips, cheeks, palate, gum tissue around the teeth, tongue, face, and/or neck.
A dental implant provides several advantages over other tooth replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like a natural tooth, a dental implant replaces a single tooth without sacrificing the health of neighboring teeth. The other common treatment for the loss of a single tooth, a tooth-supported fixed bridge, requires that adjacent teeth be ground down to support the cemented bridge.
The main cause of periodontal disease is bacteria in the form of a sticky, colorless plaque that constantly forms on your teeth. However, many factors can cause periodontal disease or influence its progression. Your bone and gum tissue should fit snugly around your teeth like a turtleneck around your neck.

I will give minus star if I can. On my first visit, I was asked to pay at the full price of around 179$ and the front desk told me they would return me by check if my insurance covered it. After two weeks, I called them as I still can't see this claim on my insurance account. They said my insurance didn't include dental. It is funny as my insurance includes medical, dental, mental and pharmacy. I asked them twice to file all the information to the insurance company. I still can't see ii in my insurance account. Then I contacted my insurance company and they asked me the dental office's name and

As a patient who gets very nervous for any type of dental/periodontal work, Dr Hedgpath and staff made sure that I was comfortable and took wonderful care of me. Very kind and understanding. I highly recommend them.
