After a rigorous written and oral board certification process, Dr. Jenkins became board-certified in the specialty of Periodontics, a recognized specialty of the American Dental Association. To maintain Diplomate status with the board, Dr. Jenkins stays up to date with the current literature, research, publications, and surgical techniques in his field, as well as participates in many hours of continuing education to provide the most advanced care to his patients. In order to ensure optimal surgical success and decrease the risk of complications and implant failure, Dr. Jenkins only uses the top of the line dental implants and biomaterials, as well as 3D cone beam, computed tomography (CBCT) in his practice. These attributes and credentials are what separate Dr. Jenkins and his practice regarding periodontal surgical procedures and the surgical placement of dental implants.
