Detailed Introduction
Mountaineer Periodontics is a dedicated periodontal and dental implant clinic located at 1311 Quarrier St, Charleston, WV 25301. The practice is primarily led by Dr. John W. McGehee Jr., DMD, MS, who is Board Certified in Periodontics and Dental Implant Surgery. Dr. McGehee has over 15 years of experience in the field and is particularly skilled in flap surgery, dental implants, cosmetic/gum surgery, and bone grafting.
The clinic offers a comprehensive range of services aimed at addressing various periodontal (gum) diseases and conditions, as well as tooth replacement solutions. Their core services include:
Dental Implants: This is a major focus of the practice. They provide solutions for single tooth replacement, multiple teeth replacement with partial prostheses (fixed bridges), and full arch replacement with complete dental prostheses (fixed or removable). They also perform bone grafting procedures when necessary to ensure sufficient bone volume for implant placement.
Gum Disease Treatment: As periodontists, they specialize in diagnosing and treating gum disease, which is a leading cause of tooth loss. They aim to preserve natural teeth by addressing the deterioration of gum and bone support.
Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery: This includes procedures like gum grafting to address gum recession, and other aesthetic enhancements related to the gums.
Bone Grafting: For patients who lack sufficient bone density for dental implants, Mountaineer Periodontics performs bone grafting to increase bone volume.
Mountaineer Periodontics emphasizes a patient-centered approach, focusing on education and clear communication to ensure patients understand their treatment options. While many patients are referred by their general dentists, the clinic also welcomes direct appointments. Patient testimonials highlight the professionalism, courtesy, and kindness of Dr. McGehee and his staff, praising their attentive service and comforting demeanor, particularly for those who may have dental anxieties. The office provides a comfortable reception area with amenities and informational videos. The clinic operates Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and is closed Friday through Sunday.
