Dr. Shanbour received his D.D.S. at the University of Oklahoma in 1982 and his M.S. in Periodontology at the University of Michigan in 1984. Dr. Gregory Shanbour is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology. This is one of the highest recognitions of achievement afforded in the field of periodontics. This specialty involves nonsurgical and surgical treatment of gum diseases, periodontal plastic surgery, bone regeneration, dental implant therapy to replace missing teeth, and bruxism/clinching habits. Generally, referrals are made by your dentist. However, a referral by a dentist is not reguired to visit our office. Several of our patients are self referred or referred by friends, family and current or past patients. Part of our commitment to serving our patients includes providing information that helps them to make more informed decision about their oral health needs. This website is a resource we hope you will find both useful and interesting.
