Are Your Teeth Breaking Down? Stop Hiding Your Smile?
From complex full-mouth reconstruction to cosmetic makeovers, we deliver systematic, predictable results using cutting-edge digital technology and a proven treatment philosophy.
Comprehensive Care, One Trusted Doctor
Every service delivered with systematic precision and advanced technology—from routine prevention to complex reconstruction.
Complex Restorative Dentistry
Are your teeth worn down, broken, or failing? Dr. Prentice specializes in full-mouth reconstruction (also called full-arch restoration or complete dental rehabilitation) using a systematic 10-phase approach—eliminating the uncertainty of complex care so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence again, not worry about the next tooth breaking.
Cosmetic Smile Design
Stop hiding your teeth in photos. Transform stained, chipped, or gapped teeth with cosmetic smile design (including digital smile design, aesthetic dentistry, and smile makeovers)—eliminating years of embarrassment so you can smile freely in photos, meetings, and everyday moments without thinking twice.
Same-Day Crowns & Restorations
Tired of temporary crowns breaking? Same-day crowns (also called CEREC crowns or single-visit crowns) eliminate the frustration of fragile temporaries and multiple appointments. Get permanent crowns designed, milled, and placed in one visit—so you leave with final restoration strength and aesthetics the same day, not two weeks later.
Preventive & Family Care
Want to see the same doctor every visit? Our private practice provides comprehensive exams, cleanings, and preventive care for your whole family—catching problems before they become expensive emergencies so you avoid root canals, extractions, and painful surprises down the road.
Emergency Dental Care
In pain? Broken tooth? We prioritize same-day emergency appointments Monday-Thursday—eliminating days of suffering so you get immediate relief and, when possible, permanent same-day restorations using advanced technology, not just band-aid temporary fixes.
Dental Implant Restoration
Missing teeth affecting your confidence? Complete your implants with precision-designed crowns, bridges, or dentures—digitally preplanned and systematically restored so you can eat what you want, speak clearly, and smile without gaps, not live with incomplete treatment for years.
Full-Mouth Reconstruction vs. Single Tooth Treatment: Which Do You Need?
Understanding when comprehensive care is necessary versus when isolated treatment is appropriate
| Factor | Full-Mouth Reconstruction | Single Tooth Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| What It Addresses | Multiple failing teeth, worn dentition, collapsed bite, systemic problems | Isolated cavity, single cracked tooth, one failed restoration |
| Number of Teeth | Typically 8-28 teeth restored | 1-3 teeth treated |
| Timeline | 4-8 months (includes test-drive phase) | 1-2 visits (often same-day) |
| Planning Required | Comprehensive: records, digital design, bite analysis, test-drive | Minimal: exam, X-ray, treatment |
| Investment | $20,000-$60,000+ (financing available) | $300-$2,000 per tooth |
| Best For | Severe wear, multiple failures, TMJ issues, functional breakdown | Healthy mouth with one problem tooth, no systemic issues |
| Longevity | 20-30+ years when bite is properly designed | 10-20 years (depends on overall bite health) |
| Risk If Wrong Choice | Treating teeth individually often leads to repeated failures | Unnecessary expense and time if systemic problems exist |
Dr. Prentice's Recommendation: If you have multiple teeth with large fillings, crowns breaking repeatedly, bite discomfort, or progressive wear, full-mouth reconstruction addresses the underlying cause—not just symptoms. Single tooth treatment works well when the rest of your mouth is healthy and stable.
During your consultation, Dr. Prentice will help you understand whether isolated treatment is appropriate or if comprehensive care will deliver better long-term outcomes.
