Services
Gum Disease Treatment
We offer comprehensive treatment for gum disease using advanced techniques like the Perioscope for non-surgical plaque removal. Our approach focuses on eliminating infection, restoring gum health, and preventing tooth loss. Patients benefit from personalized care plans tailored to their specific condition severity and medical history.
Dental Implants
Our dental implant services include single and full-mouth solutions using state-of-the-art 3D imaging for precise placement. We utilize bone grafting and sinus lift procedures to ensure successful implant integration for patients with bone loss. All treatments are completed in-house from initial consultation to final restoration.
Gum Grafting
We perform gum grafting procedures to treat receding gums and improve smile aesthetics. Using minimally invasive techniques, we restore healthy gum tissue coverage around teeth to reduce sensitivity and prevent further recession. The procedure also helps protect tooth roots from exposure and decay.
Bone Grafting
Our bone grafting services rebuild jawbone structure lost to periodontal disease or tooth extraction. This procedure creates a stable foundation for dental implants through guided tissue regeneration techniques. We use both synthetic and autogenous bone materials to stimulate natural bone growth.
Sedation Dentistry
We provide sedation options to ensure comfortable treatment for patients with dental anxiety or complex procedures. Our methods include oral sedation and nitrous oxide to help patients relax while remaining conscious during treatment. This service makes advanced periodontal care accessible to nervous patients.

Report
I see Dr. Hodges in his Paris clinic. Dr. Hodges and his staff are friendly but professional. I have gone to him for a number of years and have not one complaint. I travel 80 miles to his clinic because of the care I receive. I appreciate his professional manner and the fact that he listens and takes the time needed. My husband is in the medical profession (retired) and I do recognize skilled and quality care.

Report
Dr. Hodges was recommended to me by three different dentists to perform surgery to implant two molars for me. After the consolation I felt that doctor Hodges could perform this somewhat of a complicated surgery as my jaw had withered and bone grafting was necessary with the greatest of ease. After the surgery and recovery period I have never felt better. I recommend Dr. Hodges to all.

Report
I was concerned about periodontal treatment but Dr. Hodges is very personable and communicated very well with me during my consultation. He thoroughly examined my gums to develop a procedural plan, fully explaining the procedure and follow-up visits to ensure proper healing. He patiently answered all my questions which made me feel more confident. In addition, his staff members are exceptional. I am very glad I was referred to his practice.

I've been going to Dr Nathan Hodges for years and have had nothing but a great experience. Everyone in the office is compassionate about what you're going through and is there to help in any way. Dr Hodges has always been just a phone call away if need be. Probably one of those most comforting things he does is explain everything he's doing while he's doing it. That's most important because in that situation you are always nervous. He asks during the procedure if you are doing ok and to let him know if any discomfort. I have recommended Dr Hodges to family and friends and will continue to do so.
