At Lake Center Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we specialize in restoring your smile’s natural beauty and functionality. Whether you’re dealing with tooth decay, missing teeth, or damaged dental structures, our state-of-the-art techniques and compassionate care will help you achieve optimal oral health.
It’s great news that tooth decay has significantly diminished over the years due to the use of fluorides and increased patient awareness. However, teeth remain susceptible to decay, infection, and damage. When these issues arise, we offer a wide range of restorative treatments tailored to your specific needs.
Dental implants are a durable and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. By anchoring titanium posts into your jawbone, we provide a secure foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dental implants improve chewing ability, prevent bone loss, and restore your smile’s aesthetic appeal.
If you’re missing a single tooth, our single dental implant treatment is the perfect option. This minimally invasive procedure replaces the tooth with a lifelike crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring both form and function.
All-on-4 dental implants offer a revolutionary solution for patients needing full arch restoration. Using just four strategically placed implants, this treatment supports a full set of teeth, providing a stable, long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures.
For patients with extensive tooth loss, full-mouth dental implants can restore your entire smile. This comprehensive solution combines advanced planning and precision placement to ensure optimal function, comfort, and aesthetics.
Bone grafting is a preparatory procedure that strengthens the jawbone for dental implants. If you’ve experienced bone loss due to missing teeth, our techniques will restore the foundation for successful implant placement.
When tooth infection occurs, root canal therapy can save your natural tooth. This procedure removes the infected pulp, cleans the root canal, and seals it to prevent further damage. Root canals are an effective way to alleviate pain and preserve your smile.
Full dentures are a traditional yet reliable solution for replacing all missing teeth in the upper or lower arch. Our custom-made dentures fit comfortably and restore function and appearance, allowing you to eat and speak confidently.
Partial dentures are ideal for patients missing several teeth. These removable prosthetics are designed to fill gaps while preserving your remaining natural teeth, ensuring a balanced and functional bite.
Mini dental implants are a less invasive alternative to traditional implants. Ideal for patients with limited bone density, they securely anchor dentures and crowns, providing stability and comfort without extensive surgery.

Restorative dentistry focuses on diagnosing and managing oral health problems to restore function and aesthetics, addressing issues like cavities or damaged teeth. Prosthodontics, a specialized branch of restorative dentistry, emphasizes designing and fitting dental prosthetics such as crowns, bridges, and dentures. Fixed prosthodontics, compared to direct restorations, offers superior strength for extensive restorations and provides a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance. While restorative dentistry encompasses broader treatments, prosthodontics relies on advanced techniques and materials to enhance durability, function, and the overall smile.
Insurance often partially or fully covers dental restoration, particularly when procedures are deemed medically necessary. Restorative treatments like porcelain crowns, tooth fillings, and implants are typically included if they address functional dental issues. However, purely elective or cosmetic enhancements, such as teeth whitening or aesthetic veneers, are usually excluded. Interestingly, many restorative procedures, like crowns or implants, also serve cosmetic purposes, offering functionality and enhanced appearance. Reviewing your insurance policy and consulting your dentist to understand coverage for specific procedures is advisable.
Dental insurance coverage for implants varies based on the plan and the reason for the procedure. Most plans will cover implants if necessary due to an accident or medical condition, but they typically won’t cover cosmetic implants. If your plan does cover implants, it usually only covers a percentage of the costs, typically ranging from 25% to 50%. Additionally, some plans may have six months, a year, or longer waiting periods before you can access the highest level of coverage for implants. Be sure to check your plan’s specific terms for details.
Dental insurance typically covers 100% of preventive care, such as routine cleanings, exams, and X-rays. For basic care, most plans include coverage for services like simple extractions, fillings, and oral cancer screenings. Major restorative treatments, including bridges, crowns, dentures, root canals, and complex oral surgeries, are often covered partially, depending on the plan. Some dental insurance policies may also include coverage for dental implants, though this varies by provider. It’s essential to review your specific plan details to understand the extent of coverage for restorative care.
A root canal treatment typically costs $500 to $2,000, depending on factors such as the tooth’s location, procedure complexity, and insurance coverage. Front teeth tend to be less expensive, while molars with multiple roots require more intricate treatment and thus cost more. The overall cost may also vary based on the dentist’s expertise and region. Having dental insurance can significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses, with some plans covering a substantial portion of the treatment.
