Dr. Michael G. Tanner, DDS, MS

Specialized periodontal care often overlaps with restorative dentistry—especially when it comes to dental implants and gum health. That’s where a periodontist steps in, bridging the gap between surgical precision and long-term oral stability. Procedures like bone grafting, sinus lifts, or treatment for gum recession aren’t just technical; they’re foundational for anyone considering implants or managing advanced gum disease. These services require a mix of surgical skill and a deep understanding of how gums and bone structure interact—something not every dental practice offers under one roof.

On Olentangy River Road, just north of downtown Columbus, this practice operates out of a professional suite at 3600 Olentangy River Rd #500a. The area’s a mix of medical offices and quiet residential pockets, making it a practical stop for those already navigating the city’s healthcare corridor. Periodontal work isn’t the kind of thing you’d stumble upon by accident; it’s the kind of place you find after a referral or a very specific Google search. No flashy signage, no gimmicks—just a straightforward listing for a specialty that’s as niche as it is necessary.

Booking a consultation usually starts with a call to (614) 451-5201, where the focus stays on logistics: records, referrals, and scheduling the preliminary exam. If you’re mapping it out for the first time, the directions will pinpoint the suite inside the larger medical complex. No frills, no upsell—just the next step for anyone whose dental needs have outgrown a general practice.
