A damaged, decayed, or missing tooth affects more than just your appearance — it changes how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself every single day. At Beechnut Dental Care, we believe every patient in Bellaire, TX deserves a smile that works as well as it looks, and we have the training, technology, and full range of restorative services to make that happen.
Led by Dr. Mitch Dang — a prosthodontist-trained dentist and recipient of the prestigious Hanau Best of the Best Award of Excellence in Prosthodontics from UT Health Science Center Houston — Beechnut Dental Care brings a level of restorative expertise to the Bellaire community that goes well beyond what most general dental practices can offer. Whether you need a single tooth-colored filling, a same-day CEREC crown, a dental implant, or a comprehensive full-mouth restoration, you’ll receive care that is precise, durable, and designed to last.
Quality dental care should fit your budget. We accept most major insurance plans and offer flexible financing options to make your treatment affordable. Whether you need a routine cleaning or comprehensive dental work, we'll work with you to find a payment plan that fits your needs. Monthly payment options start as low as $99 for many procedures.
Restorative dentistry is the branch of dental care focused on diagnosing, treating, and rebuilding teeth that have been damaged by decay, fracture, wear, or tooth loss. The goal is to restore full function — your ability to chew, speak, and smile comfortably — while maintaining or improving the natural appearance of your teeth.
Unlike cosmetic dentistry, which is primarily focused on aesthetics, restorative dentistry is clinically driven. Treatments are chosen based on what the tooth needs to function properly and remain healthy long-term. That said, modern restorative materials — including zirconia, ceramic, and composite resin — are designed to look completely natural, so there’s rarely a trade-off between function and beauty.
At Beechnut Dental Care, restorative treatment always begins with a thorough examination. Dr. Dang uses digital X-rays and CBCT 3D cone beam imaging to evaluate the full structure of your teeth, roots, and bone before recommending any treatment. This means your care plan is built on a complete, accurate picture — not an assumption.
During your consultation, we’ll help determine which restoration option best suits your oral health needs and lifestyle preferences.
A dental crown is a full-coverage restoration that fits over the entire visible portion of a damaged or structurally compromised tooth. Crowns are used to protect teeth weakened by large cavities, fractures, excessive wear, or previous dental work, as well as to complete root canal therapy or restore a dental implant.
At Beechnut Dental Care, all crowns are made from zirconia or ceramic (eMax) materials — no metal, no porcelain-fused-to-metal. These materials are stronger than many older alternatives, biocompatible, and designed to closely mimic the translucency and shade of natural tooth enamel. The result is a crown that looks like a natural tooth and performs like one, too.
For patients who want their crown placed without two appointments and weeks of waiting, Beechnut Dental Care offers CEREC same-day crown technology. Using CAD/CAM digital design and an in-office milling machine, Dr. Dang designs and fabricates your permanent zirconia or ceramic crown chairside — in the same appointment as your tooth preparation.
There is no temporary crown, no lab wait, and no return visit. Dr. Dang personally designs each CEREC crown with a trained eye for fit, bite alignment, and aesthetics, ensuring your restoration blends seamlessly with your natural dentition. From preparation to permanent placement, most CEREC crown appointments are completed in one and a half to two and a half hours.
This is one of the most impactful restorative advantages Beechnut Dental Care offers patients throughout the Bellaire area — specialist-quality single-visit crown placement that most dental offices simply cannot match.
Dental implants are the most durable and natural-feeling solution for replacing a missing tooth. A titanium or ceramic post is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the surrounding bone (osseointegration) over a period of months. Once integrated, the implant is topped with a custom crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture, restoring full tooth function above and below the gumline.
What sets Beechnut Dental Care apart is Dr. Dang’s use of guided implant surgery. Using our CBCT 3D cone beam scanner and digital intraoral scanning, Dr. Dang creates a precise surgical guide before the procedure even begins. This guide maps the exact position, angle, and depth for implant placement — making the surgery less invasive, more predictable, and faster-healing than freehand implant approaches.
Unlike offices that handle only the crown portion and refer out for implant placement, Beechnut Dental Care manages a significant portion of the implant process in-house, giving Dr. Dang complete control over how the implant is positioned to support the final restoration.
When decay or damage reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, root canal therapy is necessary to save it. Far from the painful experience many patients fear, a modern root canal — especially with GentleWave technology — is a highly effective, minimally uncomfortable procedure that removes infection, relieves pain, and preserves the natural tooth.
Beechnut Dental Care is a certified GentleWave provider. The GentleWave system uses multisonic energy and advanced fluid dynamics to clean the root canal system more thoroughly than traditional hand-file methods — reaching deep into the complex micro-anatomy of the root to remove bacteria and debris that conventional techniques can miss. GentleWave root canal therapy is associated with less post-operative discomfort, lower rates of re-treatment, and faster recovery.
Following root canal therapy, the treated tooth is typically restored with a CEREC same-day crown, providing full protection in a single subsequent visit.
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. Unlike a removable partial denture, a bridge is permanently cemented in place and functions just like natural teeth.
At Beechnut Dental Care, bridges are custom-designed from high-quality ceramic or zirconia material, matched precisely to the shape, size, and shade of your surrounding teeth. Dr. Dang’s prosthodontic training in occlusion (how teeth fit together) ensures your bridge is not only aesthetically seamless but also functionally balanced — protecting your bite and the longevity of the restoration.
Dental fillings are the most common restorative treatment used to address cavities and tooth decay. At Beechnut Dental Care, we exclusively use tooth-colored composite resin fillings — no metal, no amalgam. Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, requiring less removal of healthy tooth material than older metal alternatives, and they match the natural shade of your tooth so they’re completely invisible in your smile.
Composite fillings are also used to repair small chips, cracks, and worn edges, making them a versatile first-line restoration for a wide range of minor tooth damage. In most cases, a tooth-colored filling is completed in a single appointment.
For patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, Beechnut Dental Care offers both traditional and implant-supported denture solutions. Traditional dentures are removable prosthetics that replace a full arch of missing teeth and rest on the gum tissue. Implant-supported dentures (also called implant-retained dentures) are anchored to dental implants placed in the jaw, eliminating slippage and providing a significantly more stable, comfortable bite.
Dr. Dang’s prosthodontic background is particularly valuable in denture treatment, as prosthodontics is specifically focused on the design and placement of dental prosthetics. Whether you need a conventional denture or an implant-supported overdenture, your restoration will be crafted for fit, function, and a natural appearance.
When a tooth is too damaged for a simple filling but doesn’t require a full crown, an inlay or onlay offers an ideal conservative solution. Inlays fill the area within the cusps of a tooth, while onlays extend over one or more cusps. Both are custom-crafted from zirconia or ceramic and bonded permanently to the tooth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure than a crown would require.
Inlays and onlays are also known as “indirect fillings” and are fabricated to fit the precise contours of the prepared tooth. At Beechnut Dental Care, these restorations can often be completed using our in-office technology, reducing the need for multiple visits.
For patients who have experienced significant tooth loss, decay, damage, or wear across multiple teeth — or who have complex dental needs that require coordinated treatment across the entire mouth — Beechnut Dental Care offers comprehensive full-mouth restoration planning and treatment.
A full-mouth restoration combines multiple restorative procedures — crowns, implants, bridges, root canal therapy, gum treatment, and more — into a coordinated treatment plan designed to restore complete dental function and a natural-looking smile. This type of complex, multi-discipline treatment is exactly where Dr. Dang’s prosthodontic training delivers its greatest value.
Prosthodontists are trained specifically in the science and artistry of rebuilding complex dental cases. Dr. Dang approaches full-mouth restoration with an understanding of bite mechanics (occlusion), jaw alignment, tooth proportions, and the long-term durability of each restoration choice. Rather than treating each tooth in isolation, he evaluates the mouth as a whole system and designs a plan that works together functionally and aesthetically.
For patients who have already had a dental implant placed elsewhere, or for whom Dr. Dang has placed the implant at Beechnut Dental Care, we provide custom implant crown restoration — the final step in completing a single-tooth implant. The implant crown is designed and placed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size, and to function precisely within your bite.
Using CEREC technology, Dr. Dang can design and place implant crowns with the same precision and aesthetic quality that goes into every restoration at our office.
Not all restorative dentistry is created equal. Many general dentists offer crowns, bridges, and fillings — but the depth of training behind those treatments varies significantly. Dr. Mitch Dang is a prosthodontist-trained dentist who earned the Hanau Best of the Best Award of Excellence in Prosthodontics from UT Health Science Center Houston, one of the most recognized honors in this specialty field.
Prosthodontics is the dental specialty dedicated to the restoration and replacement of teeth. It requires advanced training in:
This training means Dr. Dang doesn’t just place a crown and move on. He evaluates how that crown interacts with your opposing teeth, your bite, your gum tissue, and the surrounding teeth — because all of those factors determine how well the restoration performs five, ten, or fifteen years from now.
For Bellaire patients seeking a restorative dentist, that level of specialization is a meaningful advantage — and it’s available at Beechnut Dental Care without requiring a referral to a separate specialist’s office.
Beechnut Dental Care invests in advanced diagnostic and treatment technology that allows Dr. Dang to plan and deliver restorative treatment with a level of precision that traditional methods cannot match.
CEREC CAD/CAM In-Office Milling
Our CEREC system allows permanent zirconia and ceramic restorations — crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays — to be designed and milled right here in the office. No lab, no temporary restoration, no return visit for placement.
CBCT 3D Cone Beam Imaging
Our CBCT digital cone beam scanner produces a three-dimensional view of teeth, roots, bone, and surrounding anatomy in a single scan. This is essential for implant planning, root canal evaluation, and any restorative case where the status of the underlying bone and root structure needs to be known before treatment begins.
Digital Intraoral Scanning
No more traditional putty impressions. Our digital intraoral scanner creates a precise, three-dimensional digital model of your teeth in minutes — increasing the accuracy of restorations and eliminating the discomfort of conventional impression trays.
GentleWave Root Canal System
As a certified GentleWave provider, Dr. Dang uses this advanced system to deliver root canal therapy that is more thorough, more comfortable, and associated with better long-term outcomes than traditional root canal techniques.
Solea Laser Dentistry
Our Solea laser is used in restorative care for cavity preparation and certain soft tissue procedures — often without the need for injections. For patients with dental anxiety or sensitivity, laser-assisted treatment can make the restorative experience significantly more comfortable.
