Palms West Periodontal, Dr. Lauren B. Shack

Specialties

Dr. Shack is a Board Certified Periodontist who specializes in the placement and repair of dental implants, cosmetic periodontal procedures, and in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. All periodontists complete an additional three years of extensive training beyond dental school to earn a Certificate in Periodontics. However, only some periodontists earn the distinction of being named a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology like Dr. Shack, which signifies mastery of all phases of periodontal disease and its treatment, including dental implants. If you want to keep your teeth for life, or need to replace missing teeth with dental implants– completely reasonable goals in this day and age — you need to make sure the tissues that surround them are also healthy. Should gum problems arise, you may need periodontal therapy to restore diseased tissues to health. Dr. Shack’s services include:

*Dental Implants (placement and repair)

*Treatment of Gum Disease

*Cosmetic Gum Surgery

*Gum Grafting

*Extractions

*Bone Grafting

*Treatment of Loose Teeth & Bite Problems
