Patients and dentists in the Salt Lake City area and beyond choose our practice again and again due to the unique level of expertise we offer when it comes to advanced gum disease therapy and dental implant care. But, what truly leaves an impression in peoples minds is how theyre treated in our specialty dental office. The only thing that rivals the quality of the smiles we provide here at Utah Implants & Periodontics is how well we treat people, enabling them to enjoy a calm and stress-free journey toward optimal oral and overall health.
You will never hear a sales pitch in our periodontal office. Our job isnt to sell dentistry, but rather to educate patients about whats available so they can make confident decisions that satisfy their needs and goals. Well detail every step of the treatment process, and with our imaging technology, we can show you exactly what were seeing when we examine your mouth so that youre always on the same page as your periodontist. Basically, well treat you like a living, breathing person, not just an economic opportunity!
Our practice is led by our periodontist, Dr. Robert Wood. After finishing dental school, both of them underwent years of advanced training specifically dedicated to providing all aspects of periodontal and implant care. This, along with their drive to help people, means theyre able to consistently deliver comfortable, effective care in a timely manner that looks as great as it feels.
Every patient is different, and we believe this should be reflected in their care. There is no single approach to gum disease therapy or dental implants that works for everyone, so you can trust our team to fine-tune whatever procedure you desire in a way that will enhance the result while maximizing your comfort. Your smile is a precious, singular, and important part of you, and it deserves a fully tailored approach.
One of the biggest worries patients have when it comes to visiting a specialty dental office is being able to afford it. We quickly put those concerns to bed here at Utah Implants & Periodontics, because in addition to our competitive prices, we also accept several PPO dental insurance plans. Our team will go over your coverage and file your claims for you to guarantee you maximize your benefits and save as much as possible.
Dr. Wood's mission is to bring a friendly, personal touch back to specialty dental care.

When it came time to decide on a career, Dr. Wood ultimately chose dentistry because he saw that it would enable him to help people, plus it would still allow him to be involved with his children. A lot of medical professions require doctors to sacrifice family time, but dentistry offers a unique balance that allows Dr. Wood to dedicate himself 100% both at our specialty dental office and at home.
Dr. Wood completed his undergraduate education at the University of Utah, and he then obtained his dental degree from the Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry. He went on to complete his specialty training in periodontics at the University of Texas, and today, he is a board-certified periodontist.
Away from work, Dr. Wood devotes the majority of his free time to his family, which consists of his wife, their 4 great kids, and an amazing dog. Together, they love doing anything that involves being outdoors, especially fishing and taking trips to Lake Powell, Hebgen Lake, and New Port Beach.
