Meet The Doctor
Richard N. Vest, Jr., DDS
"I
am excited about the advances in periodontal and implant care that we can offer our patients. Our use of a CT Scanner in determining the placement of dental implants is of great value to our patients. Also as the scanner is in our office, it allows for a faster, more accurate diagnosis. I believe the CT Scanner will become the standard of care in implant placement.

I believe the CT Scanner will become the standard of care in implant placement. In providing aesthestic procedures, I utilize a microscope. Microscopically enhanced periodontal plastic procedures such as connective tissue grafting as well as regenerative surgery is providing our patients with incredibly pleasing aesthetic results.
For patients with bone loss, I am able to greatly enhance their regeneration of bone through the use of bone morphogenetic protein. This "BMP" allows regrowth of bone with impressive results.
The enhancement of someone's smile is always rewarding."
