Expert Diagnosis. Personalized Treatment. Exceptional Results.

Every patient deserves a diagnosis before a recommendation. Not every missing tooth requires a dental implant, and not every patient benefits from the same treatment. The first step is understanding your oral health, your goals, and the solution most likely to provide lasting success.

As a prosthodontist, Dr. David Zelby directs and coordinates your restorative care, beginning with a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether a tooth can be predictably restored or whether replacement offers the better long-term solution.

He begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether a tooth can be predictably restored or whether replacement is the better long-term solution. When replacement is recommended, he develops a personalized treatment plan and coordinates your care with trusted specialists, including oral surgeons and periodontists, whenever their expertise is needed.

Just as complex medical care is often provided by a team of specialists, Dr. Zelby believes exceptional dental care is achieved through collaboration. Each specialist contributes the expertise for which they have received advanced training. The surgical phase is performed by the appropriate specialist, while Dr. Zelby designs, fabricates, and precisely places the custom restoration—the tooth you see, bite with, and rely on every day.

This approach may involve more than one office visit or more than one specialist, but it reflects our commitment to providing the treatment that is right for you—not simply the treatment that can be performed under one roof. Our goal has always been to recommend what offers the greatest opportunity for long-term health, comfort, function, and appearance.
