Laser dentistry can be used in place of other traditional methods for precision drilling, gum tissue removal, and gum aesthetics. LANAP is a unique procedure that utilizes a laser to remove diseased gum tissue while aiding in the reattachment of healthy gums to teeth. Piezosurgery employs ultrasonic vibrations in place of harsh metal drill bits for clean and precise drilling into teeth and jawbones.

A sinus lift is a surgery that fills space in the jawbone where the sinus cavity has expanded due to the shrinking of bone tissue after the loss of a tooth. Periodontal plastic surgery acts as a "gum lift" to effectively shorten the length of gum tissue to reveal more of the underlying tooth structures.
Michael C. Toms, DDS, MS is an experienced periodontist who graduated with his specialization from Ohio State University in 1996. Since then, he has been helping patients who suffer from various forms and effects of periodontal disease. Dr. Toms is passionate about his continued education and training to ensure he can meet the needs of his patients with the best and most effective periodontal treatments available.
When teeth are lost due to injury, periodontal disease or decay, the jawbone will no longer be stimulated and can begin to weaken. The deterioration of the surrounding bone may also occur as a result. Once enough bone tissue has worn away the area may no longer have enough strength to support a dental implant.
Bruxism is a term for teeth grinding, which is a condition more common than most people think. Patients do not always realize they have a problem with it until they start seeing the effects that it has on their teeth. Most bruxism occurs when people sleep at night. Although the specific cause of bruxism is not entirely known, it seems to be more common with patients who have some form of malocclusion.

I was recently referred by my dentist when my X-rays were questionable where I had a root canal several years back. The experience has been nothing but professional, comforting, and oddly enough fun! The office personnel and Dr. Tom make me feel comfortable and laugh even when I was having teeth extracted. Very positive environment and always up front with the process/ cost. Had surgery last week and so far it has been healing nicely and no pain medication needed. I would recommend Dr. Tom and his team!

I have been coming to Dr. Toms for about a year now. My dentist referred me to him when I developed peritonitis. Since then I have had laser treatment for the gums and a tooth extraction and in the process I am getting an implant. He and his team are top notch! It is a very positive work environment. I feel very confident and safe coming to Doctor Toms. I would recommend him to anyone.

I self-referred myself to Dr. Tom's office after I was diagnosed with periodontal disease and met Dr. Toms by chance. He is extremely friendly and professional and I knew immediately from meeting him that I would be in good hands at his office.
I was please to find his office very clean, aesthetic and welcoming. Every one of his staff made me feel as though I was at home and among friends while I got my treatment!
I just got my LANAP (laser procedure) this morning and am already amazed at how quickly I have recovered. Aside from a slight tenderness that lets me know we got work done, I have no

I scheduled my grandma an appointment to have work done by Dr. Toms and I’ve never had a better experience with an office. Super clean, friendly, treated my grandma so well, and was so accommodating to her needs. The front desk is super friendly and was helpful through the whole process which I knew nothing about. Dr. Toms is an amazing doctor and made my grandma feel so comfortable. Amazing office!!

I have had the same experience as one of the other reviews (TW) - they are not upfront on all the charges - said they accepted my insurance. Yes, they did but were not upfront that I was going to pay out of network insurance price. In addition, I went to get a second opinion and the other office said my gums were fine and to be looked at every year. Before Dr. Toms would even consider grafting, he said I needed a deep cleaning (my dentist never recommended that - I have great teeth). I went with Dr. Toms recommendation and ended up spending wasted money. Get two opinions before going with his advice

I have had several gum surgical procedures performed by Dr. Toms over the years. Each time the result has been great. In fact, the entire procedure from exam, recommendation, surgery and follow up have been without any issues at all. All charges have been disclosed to me before hand and no surprises! As a bonus, Dr. Toms and his staff are all very friendly, professional and a pleasure to deal with.

"The Happiest (Periodontist) Place on Earth!" Dr. Toms and his exceptional staff are to be commended for the expert (smiling) care and treatment I received for my gum graft procedure! Everything was clearly explained to me about the procedure and payment policies. I am sure throughout my treatment I met and received help from all of the staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Toms and his entire staff for all periodontal needs. Many thanks to ALL of you!

I recently had a gum graft at this office. The staff was fantastic! They were very communicative and extremely helpful in answering questions or addressing concerns. Dr. Toms did a great job by being quick and assuring me everything was working well throughout the procedure. Overall, it was a great experience.
