I am very impressed by Dr Shanks office as a whole. From the moment I first called I was greeted with authentic concern and a warm invitation. Dr Shank is very knowledgeable, and treated me with care. Dr Shank and his office all work well together giving me and all patients the best care possible.

I was so happy to find a biological dentist in my area. Dr. Shank is absolutely amazing! Not only does he have great “bedside manner“ but he is also very knowledgeable about whole body health In conjunction with the teeth and mouth. His staff is very friendly. The office is extremely clean and nice. And best of all, his prices are better than I ever expected especially for a specialized holistic dentist. I highly recommend Dr. Shank and his dental practice, especially if someone is looking for a more natural holistic approach to dentistry.

Another positive experience at Shank Dental. Early in June I was due for a cleaning. I was cordially greeted Clara, at the front desk who manages appointments and keeps billing straight. Then Hygienist, Emily took me into an office and cheerfully prepared me for periodic cleaning. Emily went to work, while making me feel comfortable with interesting conversation. Soon she was done and Dr. Shank came in to give me a professional once over, and then I was done. My total experience left me feeling I was a valued patient and that I had been exposed to the best treatment available. I can highly recommend Dr. Shank and his staff as seasoned professionals who are well trained and as nice as I could hope for.

Could not recommend Shank Dental Care enough! Dr. Shank and his team are so nice and make you feel so comfortable. It feels like you are with family when you walk in. Mrs. Clara in the front is always such a pleasure to talk to and makes booking appointments so easy. Thankful I found this amazing team!

Shank Dental Care is a general dentistry practice in Lafayette, Louisiana, that offers ceramic dental implants as part of its integrative approach to oral health. The practice describes itself as focused on holistic and minimally invasive treatment, seeing patients one at a time rather than operating on a high-volume model. For patients considering dental implants, this means the option of a metal-free, ceramic or zirconia implant as an alternative to titanium, described on the site as offering excellent systemic biocompatibility.
Beyond implants, the practice offers a range of general and integrative services, including cleanings and exams, laser dentistry, ozone therapy, biocompatibility testing, and mercury-free amalgam filling removal. The website emphasizes clear communication, with the dentist explaining findings and treatment options so patients can make informed decisions without pressure. Patients considering implants at this practice can expect a consultation process that takes time to review options and materials suited to their individual needs.
Dr. Taylor Shank is the dentist at Shank Dental Care. He was born and raised in Lafayette and is a graduate of St. Thomas More High School, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and the LSU School of Dentistry. He started his practice to offer a more holistic and minimally invasive alternative to high-volume dental care, and he is an active member of the International Academy of Ceramic Implantology (IAOCI), the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), and the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM).
