SPOTLIGHT ON DR. J. BUTLER Our Implant Specialist

Dental implant technology has advanced leaps and bounds in recent years. It’s now one of the greatest weapons in our cosmetic-dentistry arsenal, allowing patients to receive safe, long-lasting tooth replacements that match the natural appearance of their mouths. Of course, placing these implants requires an expert periodontist who specializes in such procedures. Luckily, we have just the specialist on our team. His name is Dr. J. Butler, and we’re honored to work with him. Dr. Butler is based in Bartlesville but travels to our office twice per month to place implants. “Working on implants is one of the most gratifying pursuits I could ever imagine,” Dr. Butler says. “The process takes time, but when you place the final prosthesis, you see a patient’s spirits rise instantly.” Because his expertise is so in-demand, Dr. Butler has worked with many practices during his 22 years as a periodontist. “I can say without reservation,” he reveals, “that Masterpiece Smiles is as thoughtful and thorough as any practice I’ve encountered. Dr. Cobble and his team genuinely care about their patients, explain treatment options, and provide only the best in cosmetic- dentistry services. I may not be a full-time member of the team, but I’m very lucky to spend some of my time in their office. It’s a wonderful change of scenery and a chance to treat an entirely different patient pool than at my regular practice.” Speaking of scenery, Dr. Butler spends his free time managing his beautiful 800- acre ranch. “I breed bulls as a hobby,” he says. “Every year, we sell about 50 of them as a way to improve the gene pool for local ranches. It’s a passion of mine, so it doesn’t feel like work, but my wife and kids might argue that point.” Providing the best care to patients requires working with best-in-class specialists who understand their field better than anyone else in our area. Dr. Butler certainly fits that bill, offering spectacular implants to our patients. He’s an integral part of Masterpiece Smiles, even if he’s only in our office for a few hours per month.
