After years of searching to find a comfortable, trustworthy dental practice, Jonah came to Lakeshore Dental Studio to restore his damaged teeth. He needed a solution that would treat his severe tooth decay and reinstate the natural function and aesthetics of his smile. Jonah wasn't just looking for a quick fix to get his mouth back to a healthy state. He was looking for a dental home that would listen to his needs and calm his dental anxiety. Dr. Kella's compassionate approach and transparent guidance helped Jonah understand the procedure and follow his treatment plan with confidence.
To ensure a soothing first visit, the Lakeshore Dental Studio team welcomed Jonah into the practice before his procedure to help him feel acclimated to the space. After discussing various restorative options, Dr. Kella completed a conservative anterior bonding treatment using the Bioclear Method. In just one appointment, Dr. Kella was able to remove the decay and discoloration present in each tooth, which gave Jonah the strong, bright, functional smile he deserved. Jonah left our care with a healthy set of teeth and a bright smile to boot!

Composite fillings are a great way to treat cavities. Instead of using a metal amalgam material, composite fillings are made of dental resin that will be perfectly matched to your tooth so your filling will blend right in to the rest of your smile. Composite fillings also require the removal of less enamel than metal amalgam fillings, which keeps your tooth structure as strong and healthy as possible.
We offer both posterior (rear) and anterior (front) root canal therapy. This treatment is required to repair teeth that have been infected due to extensive tooth decay or an oral injury. Damage and decay can expose the vulnerable pulp of your tooth to harmful bacteria, causing an infection. During treatment, a small opening is made in the tooth, then the infected pulp is removed and replaced with a rubbery material to provide structure. Then, the tooth is cleaned and sealed. After a root canal, you will need to get a dental crown placed to protect your existing tooth structure.
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped dental prostheses intended to cover up a damaged tooth and protect its structure. This treatment can also be used to replace an entire missing tooth or to cover up a tooth that has been treated with a root canal. During treatment, your damaged tooth will be prepared for the crown, then your restoration will be attached permanently to protect the remaining enamel. If you are missing a tooth, the dental crown will be used in conjunction with a dental implant to provide a strong, durable restoration.
Dental implants are small, screw shaped titanium rods which are surgically implanted into your mouth to replace a missing tooth. This implant acts as an artificial tooth root and supports a dental crown. The implant heals and bonds permanently with your gums and jaw during a process called "osseointegration". Because the implant bonds to your natural tissues, it is able to prevent bone loss. You will be left with a beautiful restoration that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.
TMD/TMJ refers to a dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint, which is located just beneath the ear and attaches the jaw to the skull. If this joint is infected, inflamed or damaged, it can cause pain, locking of the jaw, an inability to open your mouth properly. We offer a variety of TMJ/TMD treatments, including bite splints to help treat this issue.

"I've seen Dr. Kella a few times to get a crown and have some cavities filled. After my first visit, he and his staff were up front about the work I would need done and how much it would cost. There were no financial surprises. He and his staff are friendly and professional. My appointments always start on time. The quality of the dental work has been excellent as well. I also feel the office is managing COVID concerns and precautions well. They have it coordinated so that I'm not running into other patients in the waiting room or hallway. They take my temperature, provide hand sanitizer, and do a pre-appt questionnaire. I would absolutely recommend this office!"
"Love our Dentist! They do such a good job. Also if your a little squeamish about going to the dentist this is the place for you! They have a TV on the ceiling and will play anything you want on Netflix. Then when they prop you back up they resume your show, quickest cleaning ever. Doctor is great, he is attentive and personable. Would highly recommend."
