Dental implants provide a durable foundation for permanent or removable teeth, preventing bone loss and gum recession. Our in-office procedures ensure natural-looking results that restore chewing function and facial aesthetics. Patients avoid adhesives and enjoy lifelong solutions with proper care.

LANAP uses laser energy to regenerate gum tissue and treat periodontitis without cutting or stitching. This FDA-approved protocol eliminates infected tissue while preserving healthy structures, promoting faster healing and bone regeneration for advanced gum disease cases.

We address all stages of gum disease, from gingivitis to severe periodontitis, using scaling, root planing, and surgical interventions. Custom treatment plans halt progression, prevent tooth loss, and reduce systemic health risks associated with untreated periodontal disease.

Bone grafting restores jawbone volume to support dental implants after tooth loss. Using autografts, allografts, or synthetic materials, we rebuild bone structure through minimally invasive techniques that integrate naturally with existing tissue over several months.

This minimally invasive method corrects gum recession by repositioning existing tissue without grafts or sutures. Patients experience less discomfort and quicker recovery compared to traditional grafting, with immediate cosmetic improvement and long-term root protection.

Dr. Newhart has specialized in periodontics since graduating from Case Western Reserve Dental School. With extensive postgraduate training, he pioneered LANAP adoption in West Virginia and focuses on advanced implantology and gum disease solutions.

We specialize in periodontics, including LANAP, gum disease treatment, dental implants, bone grafting, and cosmetic gum procedures like the Pinhole Surgical Technique.

We bill dental insurance as a courtesy for non-Medicare/Medicaid HMO plans, but payment is due at service. Check with our office for specific carrier details.

Yes, we offer CareCredit financing to help patients access necessary treatments with manageable payment plans.

Detailed instructions cover diet, oral hygiene, and medication management. We emphasize follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure optimal outcomes after procedures like LANAP or implants.

While we don't provide 24/7 emergency services, we prioritize urgent periodontal concerns during business hours and guide patients on managing acute symptoms until appointments.

By far one of the best practices in WV. Lakin is awesome at what she does and I see consistent improvement in my numbers. And who can forget the man himself. Dr Newhart was able to save 2 of my implants which in turn saved me thousands of dollars and multiple surgeries.

Laken is a great dental hygienist. She is very thorough yet extremely gentle and is a really nice person!

Laken is the nicest dentist Ive ever met! I'm so happy to have found this dentists office! They keep me well informed and cheer me on when my mouth has improved. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend!

My whole experience with doctor Newharts office was a positive one. My reason for going was stressful, as would any intense issues in the mouth be. But every interaction with the staff was welcoming and professional. Oral work is often expensive, and while I was talking to different offices to get a quote on costs I was sweating a little at the projected costs for what I needed done. But doctor Newharts office was the best financial option I had and I was so relieved to not have to pay an arm and a leg to buy a tooth.

The financial team even filled out extra paperwork to send to the insurance company requesting they cover more because my issue was genetic not cosmetic. Because they did this extra step for me the insurance company covered hundreds more than they originally said they would. And I am so grateful to them for doing that for me. I am thankful for my experience with this team and I'm quite satisfied with the work they did for me.
