Restoring function, confidence, and quality of life

Damaged or missing structural teeth don't just compromise your smile's layout — they alter your speech, limit nutritional intake parameters, and completely change your quality of life. Delaying care cascades simple issues into complex problems.

Using premium modern materials like shade-matched composite resins, ultra-durable porcelain, and biocompatible zirconia, we deliver natural-looking restorations that look and function like original teeth.

Somehow managed to chip a tooth 300 miles from home. Looked for an in network provider and found this one. GREAT experience! They got me in the next day and fixed my tooth perfectly. AWESOME experience. I would definitely go back if another emergency comes up. Staff was friendly and efficient.

I highly recommend Merrill Smiles. My appointments have always been right on time. The staff is welcoming and helpful. James is the best hygienist I have ever had. My teeth feel amazing when I am done, and there is no pain or discomfort while they are cleaning my teeth.
Frequently Asked Restorative Questions

The precise scale of structural enamel damage determines the solution. Minor to moderate focal decay is cleanly managed using tooth-colored composite fillings. Extensive decay, deep fractures, cracked cusps, or root-canal-treated structures require a full-coverage dental crown to prevent splits.

Dr. Drew Bertelson will evaluate your gums, bone support, bite, and overall oral health

Restorative coverage varies by dental plan and by the treatment recommended. Our team can help review your benefits and provide an estimate of expected out-of-pocket costs before care begins.

Premium porcelain or zirconia crowns typically last between 10 and 15+ years based on wear levels. Successfully integrated titanium or zirconia dental implant anchors are engineered to remain fixed and functioning for a lifetime when maintained with excellent preventive care habits.

Most custom crowns are completed over two visits. At the first visit, the tooth is prepared and protected with a temporary crown. The final crown is crafted by a dental laboratory and placed at a follow-up appointment after the fit, bite, and appearance are checked.
