Shank Dental Care

Shank Dental Care We are a relationship-driven dental office that focuses on minimally invasive treatment with a holistic mindset.

Did you know Dr. Shank has been spending the past several years diving into the world of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ/TMD) and orofacial pain? A poorly positioned jaw can cause headaches and migraines, snoring and sleep apnea, tinnitus, poor head and neck posture, teeth chipping and breaking, and more.

We use precision made orthotics, infrared laser therapy, and nerve blocks to address the cause and manage the symptoms.

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Dr. Preston “Jay” Webre, who founded and cared for this dental practice for many years before his well-earned retirement in 2020. His dedication to his patients and his gentle spirit set the foundation for the care we continue to provide today. We are honored to carry on his legacy and grateful for the trust he built within our practice.

Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with his family, friends, and all who were touched by his kindness. Dr. Webre will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.

Visitation will take place at Martin and Castille tomorrow, October 23rd from 11:30-1:30 preceding the service at 1:30.
