Dr. Thomas G. Shaw, DDS

Specialized periodontal care isn’t always easy to find—especially when you’re dealing with something as precise as dental implants. Over on N Mayfair Rd, just north of Wauwatosa’s main drag, Dr. Thomas G. Shaw, DDS focuses on the kind of gum health and implant work that general dentists often refer out. The address, 2600 N Mayfair Rd, puts it in a stretch where medical offices and quiet residential pockets blend together; no surprise, then, that it’s a go-to for locals needing bone grafts, gum disease treatment, or implant placement without the downtown commute.

Periodontists handle the foundation—literally—so if you’re researching options for tooth replacement or advanced gum therapy, this is one of the names that comes up. A quick call to (414) 259-0660 covers the basics, whether you’re verifying details or scheduling a consultation. For first-timers, the map pin makes it simple to spot; just watch for the unassuming office front between the cross streets. Wauwatosa’s got its share of dental practices, but not all of them specialize this deeply in implants and gum surgery.
