Sometimes life throws us a curveball, and sometimes that curveball hits us right in the face. There is some dental damage we just cannot avoid, but that does not mean we have to live with the results forever. At Beechnut Dental Care, we have the advanced technology and training to bring your smile back to its full glory with our dental restorations in Houston, TX â serving patients from Meyerland, West University, the Galleria, and communities across the city.
Dental damage happens â cracked teeth, deep decay, tooth loss â and it rarely waits for a convenient moment. What matters is having a restorative dentist in Houston who can address the full range of those problems under one roof, with the training and technology to do it right the first time. At Beechnut Dental Care, Dr. Mitch Dang earned the Hanau Best of the Best Award of Excellence in Prosthodontics from UT Health Science Center Houston in 2012, the same year he graduated. Prosthodontics is the dental discipline centered on restoring and replacing teeth â which means every crown, implant, bridge, and full-mouth restoration we complete is informed by that advanced specialty training. We serve patients from across Houston, including those coming from Meyerland, Braeswood, and the Galleria area, and we design every treatment plan around completing as much care as possible in a single visit using our same-day CEREC crown system, guided implant surgery, and GentleWave root canal therapy.
Restorative dentistry encompasses a range of dental procedures designed to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth. At our Houston practice, we offer customized restorative dentistry treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs. From dental implants and bridges to dentures and same-day crowns, our goal is to restore both the function and appearance of your smile with the least disruption to your schedule possible.
Our team has undergone extensive training in several dental health areas, including:
If you have suffered a traumatic injury resulting in a dental misalignment or an issue with your nasal cavity, oral and maxillofacial surgery can provide functional and cosmetic benefits.
Prosthodontics is the dental medicine area of using prosthetic devices to restore your teeth’s appearance and utility. Some of the most common prosthetic treatments include dentures, bridges, crowns, and implants.
Endodontic dentistry focuses on treating infections of the dental pulp at the center of your teeth. Endodontic therapy involves the removal of infected pulp and sealing the damaged tooth with a dental filling.
Root canal therapy is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. In order to save the tooth, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed and the resulting space is filled with medicated dental materials, which restore the tooth to its full function.
Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic (CEREC) has revolutionized restorative dentistry procedures. Traditionally, if crowns, onlays, inlays, or dental veneers were required to restore damaged teeth, multiple procedures and a great deal of waiting time in-between would be inevitable. CEREC creates these ceramic restorations within minutes in the dental office. This means many treatments can be completed in just a single visit.
An inlay restoration is a custom-made filling made of composite material, gold, or tooth-colored porcelain. It is made by a professional dental laboratory and is permanently cemented into the tooth by your dentist.
Onlays are essentially identical to inlays with the exception that one or more of the chewing cusps have also been affected and need to be included in the restoration. An onlay is sometimes also referred to as a partial crown. It is made by a professional dental laboratory and is permanently cemented onto the tooth by your dentist.
A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a tooth affected by decay, cracks, fractures, and similar damage. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth is removed and then filled with a composite filling.
A dental crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface, restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
A denture is a removable dental appliance replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are made to closely resemble your natural teeth and may even enhance your smile.
There are two types of dentures: complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. A partial denture not only fills in the spaces created by missing teeth but also prevents other teeth from shifting. For patients seeking a more permanent solution, dental implants may be an excellent alternative.
A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance and is an excellent way to replace missing teeth. Dental bridges are highly durable and may last many years, however, they may need replacement or need to be re-cemented due to normal wear.
Root canal therapy performed with GentleWave technology cleans the canal system more thoroughly than traditional hand-file techniques â reaching lateral canals that conventional instruments miss â and typically completes treatment in fewer appointments. If you are experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling, contact our office to schedule an evaluation and find out whether root canal therapy can save your tooth.
When selecting a restorative dentist in Houston, experience and technology matter. Dr. Dang and our team combine advanced specialty training with the latest dental innovations to deliver exceptional results. Dr. Dang earned his Hanau Best of the Best Award of Excellence in Prosthodontics from UT Health Science Center at Houston â the same discipline that informs every crown, implant, and full-mouth restoration case we take on. Our practice uses CBCT 3D imaging, CEREC in-house milling, the Solea laser, and guided implant surgery to make treatments faster, more precise, and more comfortable for patients across the Houston area.
We know that cost can be a concern when considering restorative dental treatment. We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans and our front-desk team works directly with your provider to maximize your coverage before treatment begins. For patients without insurance, we offer Cherry financing with 0% APR options on approved credit â ideal for spreading the cost of larger treatments like implants, full-mouth restorations, or same-day crown work across manageable monthly payments. Our in-house Beechnut Plan bundles two preventive visits per year with a flat discount on most restorative services, designed for patients who do not carry a dental policy. We are committed to helping every Houston patient find a payment path that makes their care possible.

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged, decayed, or missing teeth to restore proper function and oral health. While cosmetic dentistry primarily improves the appearance of your smile, restorative treatments address structural and health issues such as cavities, broken teeth, and tooth loss. At Beechnut Dental Care in Houston, many restorative procedures also deliver cosmetic benefits, so you can regain both a healthy bite and a beautiful smile.
Our Houston practice offers a comprehensive range of restorative services, including dental crowns, bridges, dentures, dental implants, All-on-4 full-arch restorations, same-day CEREC crowns, inlays and onlays, root canal therapy, and full-mouth restorations. Dr. Mitch Dang, recipient of the Hanau Best of the Best Award of Excellence in Prosthodontics, leads our team in delivering customized treatment plans tailored to each patientâs unique needs.
The cost of restorative dentistry in Houston varies depending on the procedure. Dental crowns typically range from $950 to $1,500, dental implants from $1,500 to $5,500 per implant, and dentures from $1,800 to $4,500. At Beechnut Dental Care, we provide transparent pricing and offer flexible financing options through partners like Cherry, with monthly payments starting as low as $150. We also accept most major insurance plans to help make treatment affordable.
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of restorative treatments, though coverage varies by plan and procedure. Preventive and basic restorative services like fillings typically receive higher coverage, while major restorative work such as crowns, bridges, and implants may be covered at a lower percentage. Our team at Beechnut Dental Care works directly with your insurance provider and can help you understand your benefits and maximize your coverage.
We use advanced technology to deliver precise, comfortable results. Our CEREC system creates same-day ceramic crowns, inlays, and veneers right in our office. We also use CBCT 3D cone beam scanning for detailed imaging, guided implant placement software for precise implant procedures, Solea laser technology for many anesthesia-free soft tissue treatments, and digital scanning for accurate impressions without messy molds.
The best restorative treatment depends on factors like the extent of damage, the number of teeth affected, your jawbone health, and your personal goals. During your consultation at our Houston office, Dr. Dang will perform a comprehensive examination using advanced 3D imaging, discuss your options in detail, and recommend a personalized treatment plan. We believe in patient education and take the time to ensure you feel confident in your decision. Call us at (713) 839-0900 to schedule your consultation.
