Crowns that chip. Fillings that keep failing. Teeth that look shorter every year. Most dentistry fixes the tooth in front of it. Dr. Prentice starts by finding out why it broke.
Your bite, wear patterns, jaw muscles, habits and history are evaluated before a single tooth is treated.
One coordinated plan replaces one-tooth-at-a-time repairs.
You live with your new smile in provisional teeth and refine it before the final ceramics are made.
Call us — we can usually work dental emergencies into our schedule, often the same day.
Your first visit starts with a thorough exam and digital scan, then time with Dr. Prentice to go over what we found and talk through your options — no rush, no pressure. Cleanings, exams and everyday care for teens and adults are welcome too, and most PPO plans are accepted.
See What to ExpectEvery treatment decision is made with long-term function and comfort in mind.
As a solo-doctor practice, you'll never be passed between providers.
In-house digital scanning and design mean greater accuracy and, for many procedures, fewer appointments.
Technology With a Purpose
Every tool in our office earns its place by making your diagnosis clearer, your plan more precise or your visit shorter.
iTero Lumina scanners capture a precise 3D model of your teeth and bite in minutes, and you see it on screen as we talk.
Overjet AI analyzes your x-rays and highlights what it finds, so we can review your x-rays together and track changes over time.
Dr. Prentice is a paid consultant for Overjet.
Three in-house Glidewell mills let us design and mill strong zirconia crowns while you wait, typically in one visit. We're one of the only solo practices in the U.S. with three in-house mills.
In January 2022, Glidewell announced Dr. Prentice as the first person to mill a sintered zirconia bridge in a dental office.
Digital smile design lets you see a simulation of your planned smile before any treatment begins.
Detailed clinical photography guides planning, keeps you informed at every stage and gives our lab partners the information they need to match your smile.

The Craft
Your final teeth are only as good as the hands that make them. Dr. Prentice's full-mouth and smile makeover cases are crafted by premier dental laboratories with master ceramists, not high-volume labs. Each restoration is custom-made for shade, translucency, shape and surface texture so it looks like your tooth, not a crown.
The lab works from the design you've already test-driven in your mouth, so the final ceramics reproduce a result you've lived with.
The same premier lab makes your prototype test-drive teeth and your final restorations.
Everyday single crowns can be milled here the same day. Full-mouth and cosmetic cases go to master ceramists.
