Woodyard Periodontics

Woodyard Periodontics is a prominent dental clinic located in Newburgh, Indiana, specializing in periodontics and dental implantology. The practice is led by Dr. James Woodyard, a board-certified periodontist and Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, making him the only board-certified periodontist in the Newburgh/Evansville area. The clinic provides a wide range of services focused on the health of gums and the supporting structures of teeth. Their expertise includes advanced gum disease treatments, from early-stage gingivitis to severe periodontitis. They offer non-surgical options like scaling and root planing, as well as more advanced procedures such as LANAP® laser gum surgery, a minimally invasive technique that promotes rapid healing without cutting or stitches. Dr. Woodyard is noted as a level 5 LANAP® provider and was among the first in the area to adopt this protocol. In addition to gum disease treatment, Woodyard Periodontics specializes in dental implant placement, including complex cases that may require bone grafting using innovative techniques like SonicWeld Rx® and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for enhanced healing. They also offer Teeth Xpress™ dental implants for swift, permanent solutions for missing teeth, utilizing BioHorizons® Laser-Lok® technology to minimize bone loss. Other services include gum grafting for receding gums, gingivectomy (gum contouring/gum lift) to reshape gum tissue for aesthetic or functional purposes, and osseous surgery for severe gum disease. The clinic places a strong emphasis on patient comfort, being the only practice in the Newburgh area to offer IV sedation, in addition to nitrous oxide and oral sedation, to help anxious patients relax during procedures. Woodyard Periodontics is committed to excellence through continuous education and the use of state-of-the-art equipment. Dr. Woodyard completes over 100 hours of continuing education annually and sponsors the Select Study Club, a division of the Seattle Study Club, providing world-class continuing education for dental professionals. The practice is known for its high standards of personalized care, working closely with general dentists to ensure optimal patient outcomes, and focusing on preventive care and patient education.
