Elite Specialty Care Near Sheffield, IA


Periodontics | Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery | Endodontics


For years, specialists in and around Sheffield have adhered to the traditional model of working independently within their own practices. However, as interdisciplinary referrals increase and treatment options become more diverse and complex, Drs. Hogg, Kotecki, Moore, and Gell have pioneered a new approach to streamline specialty care in Sheffield, IA.

For the first time in private practice in Iowa, the specialties of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Periodontics, Endodontics, and Dental Implantology will be housed together under one roof—a true "union of forces," as described by Dr. William Mayo.

"The best interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered, and in order that the sick may have the benefit of advancing knowledge, union of forces is necessary."
William J. Mayo, MD 1910
With a grand total of 13,500 square feet, our dental community in Sheffield will now have access to a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Periodontics, Endodontics, and Dental Implantology.

Periodontics

Periodontics

Periodontics focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases that affect the supporting structures of the teeth. Periodontal disease includes gingivitis, a milder form characterized by inflamed gums, and more severe forms like periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS) is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of a wide range of conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, face, and neck. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are highly trained dental professionals who undergo extensive education and clinical training to perform various surgical procedures related to these areas.

Endodontics

Endodontics

Endodontics specializes in the treatment of dental pulp and the tissues surrounding the roots of teeth. The most common procedure associated with endodontics is root canal therapy. This treatment becomes necessary when the dental pulp becomes infected or inflamed, often due to deep decay, dental trauma, or other dental issues.

Procedures



Tooth loss is incredibly common, and dental implants are generally the best way to address it. Dental implants function as artificial tooth roots, providing a safe and secure way to anchor dental prostheses. Not only do dental implants provide a fully functional and aesthetic restoration, but with the right oral hygiene, they can potentially last a lifetime. We are pleased to provide dental implant surgery.

The term "root canal" refers to the natural cavity within the center of the tooth that houses the tooth's nerve and pulp. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, injury, or other factors, a root canal procedure may be necessary to remove the infected tissue and alleviate pain.

Great Experience


Everyone was very nice and answered any questions I had. My procedure was done very professionally and quickly. After I left anytime I called with questions they were very polite and answered my questions. It was a great experience, especially for someone who generally doesn’t like going to the dentist.
