I just want to say that Dr. Schwimmer and his staff our first class from start to finish. I took the time to read Dr. Schwimmer’s bio and some of his work he has developed to help other dentist and all I can say is he is nothing short of perfect. Thank you to the entire staff for making me feel comfortable and relaxed.

If you are going to get any implants done make sure you only see Dr. Schwimmer, seeing he even teaches the socket and shield method to other dentists which is going to be used all over the globe.

Thank you 😊

Dr. Schwimer and everyone in his office is very friendly, courteous and professional. I needed a periodontist and I am so glad that I went to this office. Dr. Schwimer did the necessary oral surgery and put me on a treatment program that is working very well. Kathy is by far the best dental hygienist I have ever had. I would highly recommend this office to anyone who needs a periodontist.

I am in the process of having an implant put in. Everyone in their office is super friendly! Dr Schwimer gave me instructions to let him know if I needed a break as he worked on me, which I found to be very thoughtful. Everything went very well on my procedure so far. My husband has had 5 implants from Dr. Schwimer which have all worked out very well. Obviously we would return to this business again!

I would like to start by saying **I** am the worst patient. (SERIOUSLY) I travel the country and have been asked to leave before. Dr. Charles NEVER made me feel bad or like I was being dramatic. He and his entire staff showed me nothing but COMPASSION and CONCERN. I live "some" hours away and will always make the drive for professionalism. I never had a problem with billing or misleading cost information. I am forever grateful for Dr. Schwimer and his whole office for their understanding and support during a HIGH anxiety time for me. I will always advocate for this office. They are the B E S T!

I would recommend Dr. Schwimer to anyone that needs excellent dental and periodontal care. He knows exactly what needs done, does it with care and skill and is one of the most understanding and compassionate people on the planet. In a day and age where it is trendy to put aside the patients care because of time, he is the opposite...very caring and you can reach him when needed. He is exceptional in his field. He has done great work for me and made a huge difference in my health. Thank you!

I will rate Dr. Charles W. Schwimer very high. He is awesome, not only just him all his nurses who do the cleaning are one of the best you can ever get. Let me explain this in detail. We (Me and My Wife) had some gum issues and my gums used to bleed a lot, we had 2 surgeries for all four quadrants twice, there was no benefit, nothing much changed, and I got so frustrated and disappointed that I gave up. Then I went to another dentist who referred me to Dr. Charles W. Schwimer, this changed everything for us. He did surgery on us but unlink the previous periodontist his surgery was way more efficient. We both saw complete stop on our bleeding. In addition, he is a nice gentlemen who is very kind and polite during the procedure and also patient, as I can tell you my surgery was not easy for him but he was patient. In addition, I also like to appreciate the nurses, I now go to his office every 3 months for cleaning and have interacted with almost all of the nurses they are very thorough in their work. They do not compromise of try to be done quickly, I initially thought maybe one nurse is good but then found out they were all equally good. I guess it is the culture.

“Wow! Dr. Schwimer has a passion for his work. The implant work that he did for me was perfect and painless. It quickly became obvious that he is a perfectionist, so I had no doubt that the procedure was going to be done right. Sheila assisted in the procedure and she was wonderfully calming and knowledgeable. The entire staff could not have been more welcoming.

I travelled from Columbus on a recommendation to have this done and will gladly do it again if the need should arise.

Thank you Charlie, Sheila and the rest of the crew!”

Emergencies are Welcome!

Have an emergency such as a broken implant?

We Offer Care Credit

The care you need, when you need it.

Use the CareCredit credit card to pay for your health, wellness and personal care needs.

We pride ourselves on the fact that we are very conservative in our treatment recommendations and limit surgery to the areas where it is absolutely necessary.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Rediscover the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life.

Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery

Cover unsightly, sensitive, or exposed root surfaces and prevent future gum recession. Are you unhappy with the appearance of short unsightly teeth? This can be greatly improved.

Gum Disease Laser Therapy

Advancements in gum laser therapy allow many periodontal procedures to be performed with no bleeding, no suturing, and negligible postoperative discomfort.

Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling removes plaque and tartar deposits beneath the gum line. The tooth roots may also be planed to smooth the root surface allowing the gum tissue to heal and reattach to the tooth.

Frenectomy

An excessively large frenum can prevent the teeth from coming together resulting in a gap between the front teeth. A malpositioned frenum can also cause gum recession.

Bone Regeneration

Guided tissue bone regeneration regenerates the previously lost gum and bone tissue. Some techniques utilize membranes that are inserted over the bone defects.

Even a subtle change in your smile helps you to project an image of self-confidence and high personal esteem. When you feel good about yourself, it shows in your appearance.
