Dr. Benjamin Metz Periodontics - Lancaster

Dr. Benjamin Metz Periodontics - Lancaster is a specialized dental clinic located at 550 E Main St, Lancaster, OH 43130, with a phone number of (740) 687-3500 and a website at http://www.doctormetz.com/. The clinic is dedicated to providing comprehensive periodontal care and dental implant solutions. Dr. Benjamin Metz, a highly skilled periodontist, earned his surgical dentistry doctorate from Case Western Reserve University in 1987, followed by a Certificate and Masters in Periodontics from the same institution in 1989. He established his practice on the East Coast, maintaining a busy practice for a decade before expanding to serve patients in Ohio. The clinic offers a wide array of services designed to address various gum and tooth-related issues. These include soft tissue grafts, which are used to cover exposed root surfaces and replace lost gum tissue, improving appearance, protecting teeth, and reducing sensitivity. They also perform periodontal surgery for cases with significant bone changes or persistent pockets after initial cleaning, aiming to reduce pockets and improve bone and gum contours. Non-surgical therapy, such as scaling and root planing, involves thorough cleaning of root surfaces to remove plaque, calculus, and bacterial toxins from deep periodontal pockets. A significant focus of the practice is dental implants, which have become a standard of care for tooth replacement. Dr. Metz and his team emphasize how implants help preserve the jawline, prevent further bone loss, and avoid the drifting of surrounding teeth that can occur with missing teeth. Additionally, crown lengthening procedures are offered to increase the visible portion of a tooth, often necessary for placing new crowns or restorations when there's a crack, decay, resorption, or extreme wear. Dr. Metz Periodontics operates Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, remaining closed on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The clinic prides itself on providing care in a relaxed and painless environment with a high degree of professionalism, ensuring patient comfort and satisfaction. They work closely with referring dentists to coordinate treatment plans, aiming for optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes. Patient testimonials often highlight Dr. Metz's communicative and reassuring approach, the professionalism and friendliness of his staff, and the overall positive experience at the clinic.
