â€œThe field of periodontics appeals to me for two reasons. I mostly enjoy working with patients to overcome obstacles to excellent dental health and function. The specialty also appeals to me because it requires a gentle touch along with precision and …technical skills. Not too long ago, it was a foregone conclusion that part of the aging process meant increasing dental problems and loss of teeth. We are now able to restore function and esthetics like never before and can offer patients alternatives to accomplish these goals.
â€œI find it rewarding to help preserve and enhance the foundations for my patientsâ€™ smiles using the most innovative techniques for treating periodontal disease such as regenerative soft-tissue and bone grafting, site preservation and dental implants. I know that periodontal surgical procedures can be new and intimidating, so I always take the time to explain the condition and treatment options in plain language. My friendly, knowledgeable staff and I treat every patient with the kindness, respect and excellent focused care they deserve.â€

Walking in this office was a death sentence via permanent liver damage. It's a slow but debilitating and devastating process. I told the staff I could not have a strong antibiotic. I was given clindamycin. I did not recognize it. It was a disaster. I wish I'd never walked into his office.

Terrible experience. Went in to schedule a tooth extraction per my Orthodontists referral. Spoke with Dr. Tanner for less than five minutes, he did nothing but confirm that I could schedule the removal. Talked to me as if I were a child and charged me $115 for the privilege. Safe to say I will not be paying him to do any dental work. Absolute con artist!

pros: good mechanic, can get an implant in tight spaces. reasonable rates. cons: prescribes unnecessarily sledgehammer antibiotics. After 3 months now don't know if my gut nor the rest of my body systems can recover. worst post op experience I've ever had.

Dr. Tanner had me laid back in the chair and was very aggressive and verbally Abusive. For someone who has PTSD this is not a good situation to be put in! This was very unprofessional! I would not recommend Dr. Tanner for anyone.

I thought a tooth extraction and implant would be scary and awful. But much to my surprise it was neither scary or awful. Dr. Tanner put me at ease and his staff made me comfortable. Dr. Tanner is the best

Never been to a place where you have to swallow your spit during and after the service. Seemed really strange. I think I know why.

Good for periodontal work only, but watch out for surprise charges. Not recommended for implant work at all.
