Our Team of Specialists

Our team of Winterset doctors comes from an extensive background of universities, cities and focuses. As skilled professionals from multiple disciplines—prosthodontics (specialists in implants, adult reconstruction and replacement of missing teeth), periodontics (specialists who focus on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gum diseases) and oral surgery—our doctors are extensively trained in all aspects of replacing or restoring missing or decayed teeth. Each doctor on our team brings a unique quality and high level of care to our patients to deliver the smile experience you’ve been searching for.
