Institute for Periodontics and Implant Dentistry: Lance Culley, DDSdentist in Jackson, TN

The Institute for Periodontics and Implant Dentistry is a specialized dental clinic founded in 2001 by Dr. Lance Culley in Jackson, Tennessee. The practice focuses on advanced periodontal care, including the diagnosis and treatment of gum disease, as well as cosmetic procedures and the restoration of function with dental implants. Dr. Culley's philosophy is rooted in providing the best and easiest treatment possible for his patients, treating each one with the same care and consideration he would give his own family. The practice prides itself on a "team approach," collaborating with other local dentists to ensure comprehensive patient care. The clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including digital radiography and CT scans, which allow for a high degree of precision in diagnosis and treatment planning. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of services. Core services include dental implants, which are used to replace missing teeth, and periodontal maintenance to manage gum health. They also specialize in soft tissue grafting, including the minimally invasive Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique, to address gum recession. Other services include ridge augmentation, esthetic contouring to enhance a smile's appearance, and oral cancer exams. Dr. Culley himself has a distinguished background, having served as a part-time associate adjunct clinical professor at the University of Alabama School of Dentistry and lectured nationally on topics such as periodontics, implant dentistry, and 3D imaging. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and a fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI). Beyond his clinical work, he and his wife have also established the Culley Pre-Dental Endowment Scholarship at the University of Tennessee at Martin to support future dentists.
