Repair damaged teeth, replace missing ones, and restore full function to your smile. Smile Science Dental Spa offers the complete range of restorative treatments, from simple fillings to full-mouth reconstruction, using digital scanners, 3D imaging, and our in-house lab.
Restore Function. Rebuild Confidence.
Restorative dentistry addresses structural problems that compromise your ability to bite, chew, speak, and smile comfortably. At Smile Science Dental Spa in Glendale, AZ, Dr. John Turke uses digital impressions, CAD/CAM same-day milling, and CBCT-guided planning in restorative treatment. The goal is always to restore what you have, as conservatively as possible, before considering replacement.
Restorative Treatments at Smile Science
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Composite resin restorations that match your tooth color and bond directly to enamel. No metal. Ideal for small to medium cavities, including replacing older amalgam fillings.
Completed in one visit. Most covered by insurance.
Same-Day Ceramic Crowns
Our in-house PlanMeca digital lab lets us design, mill, and seat a custom ceramic crown in a single appointment. No temporary crown, no second visit, no two-week wait for an outside lab.
All-ceramic material for natural-looking strength.
Dental Bridges
A fixed bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the adjacent natural teeth on either side. Restores bite function and prevents the remaining teeth from drifting.
Fixed solution that looks and functions naturally.
Inlays and Onlays
Partial restorations that repair more damage than a filling can address but less than requires a full crown. Fabricated from ceramic and bonded into the tooth for a precise, conservative fit.
The conservative middle ground between filling and crown.
Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
Comprehensive reconstruction combining multiple restorative and cosmetic procedures to address severe wear, decay, structural loss, or bite collapse. Planned with CBCT and digital design before treatment begins.
Dental Implants
The gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Implants integrate with the jawbone and support crowns, bridges, or full-arch prostheses. Permanent, bone-preserving, and the closest thing to a natural tooth.
Why Smile Science
Digital Planning for Precise Restorations
Every significant restorative case at Smile Science begins with a complete digital assessment. Intraoral scans replace traditional impressions. CBCT imaging provides a 3D view of bone structure, root positions, and jaw anatomy for cases requiring that level of precision.
For crowns, inlays, and onlays, our in-office PlanMeca digital lab fabricates same-day restorations from solid ceramic blocks. Dr. Turke reviews the digital design at chairside before the restoration is milled and seated, no laboratory delay, no temporary, no second appointment.
For full-mouth rehabilitation cases, the digital records inform a comprehensive treatment plan that is reviewed with you before a single tooth is prepared.

Restorative Dentistry FAQs
All-ceramic crowns placed with proper preparation and bite adjustment typically last 10 to 15 years or longer with routine maintenance. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, bite forces, and whether the patient grinds their teeth. If you grind at night, a custom night guard significantly extends crown life.
A filling replaces material lost inside the tooth. An inlay fills within the cusps. An onlay covers one or more cusps in addition to filling the inside. A crown covers the entire visible tooth surface. The choice depends on how much of the original tooth structure remains. At Smile Science, Dr. Turke selects the most conservative option that provides adequate strength for the tooth's function and position.
Many teeth that appear unsalvageable can be restored with the right approach, root canal therapy, a post and core buildup, and a crown. CBCT imaging helps us assess the root structure, bone support, and fracture depth accurately. We will always tell you candidly when a tooth is more predictably replaced with an implant than restored, and when saving it is the better long-term choice.
Approximately 2 to 3 hours for the full appointment. This includes tooth preparation, digital scanning, CAD/CAM design review, milling (about 15 to 20 minutes), fit adjustment, shade matching, and final seating. Most of that time is passive, you are in the chair but the milling is automated. You leave with a permanent ceramic crown the same day.
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of restorative procedures such as fillings, crowns, and bridges, typically at 50% to 80% after your deductible. Annual maximums vary by plan. Our team verifies your specific benefits before treatment and provides a written cost estimate so there are no surprises. We also offer flexible financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Sunbit for out-of-pocket balances.
Full-mouth rehabilitation refers to a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses multiple failing or missing teeth, severe wear, bite problems, or structural collapse across the entire mouth. It typically combines implants, crowns, veneers, and sometimes orthodontic changes into a sequenced treatment plan. Smile Science uses CBCT imaging, digital smile design, and a phased approach so you understand each step before any work begins.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Smile Science Dental Spa, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and service provided by the entire team. Dr. Dawson and Dr. Turke are both incredibly skilled and made me feel completely at ease throughout my procedures. Their professionalism, combined with their gentle approach, made me feel comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. I was especially impressed that I was able to get a same-day crown(apparently their first ever!), which exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t believe how quick and seamless the process was. It really saved me time and made the experience even more convenient. Cindiray and Angeles, the dental assistants, were equally wonderful. They were not only friendly and attentive but also thorough in explaining everything and made sure I was relaxed during each phase of my visit. Lastly, a big thank you to Litzy at the front desk, who greeted me with a smile and helped with scheduling and any questions I had. She made the entire check-in process a breeze. From start to finish, my experience at Smile Science Dental Spa was exceptional. I'll be returning for sure. I highly, highly, highly recommend them for anyone looking for high-quality dental care.

Honestly I’ve never been so happy to go to the dentist. I came in (late due to Lyft) and was still taken care of and treated with care. Even without insurance (kicking in within the next month) prices for an extraction on my infected tooth were more than reasonable. I was able to get more than expected done in the same visit. Dr. Dawson and his team made me feel so comfortable and taken care of. Won’t go anywhere else.

Myself and my family had previously gone to Dr. Turk at another dental office that he worked at. He had relocated and we did not know where he had gone to until this week. Today I got in with Dr. Turk and he took the time to look at my x-rays carefully . I was having pain from a tooth and some other issues. The previous Dentist I went to that I saw just a few days earlier, he did not find any issues with my tooth which I had pain in. Dr. Turk identified infection and referred me to an endodontist. He is very gentle as a wonderful disposition and my self and my family are thrilled to be able to get back with him. The office is lovely, relaxing music, heat and massage chair.I have always been very nervous and some anxiety going to dentist as I have had bad reactions with the anesthesia. I am confident that Dr. Kirk will help me get through my next appointment just fine. “The staff are very kind and attentive. I am looking forward as I have quite a bit of work to be done, and I know I’m in good hands with Dr. Turk and his staff. Five stars!⭐️ Sherry

I recently moved to Arizona and had an issue with a tooth repair from 15 years back. Not knowing anyone here in my new home, I searched dentists close to me. I chose Smile Science much like pinning the tail on the donkey and my selection couldn't have been better! What a terrific staff! Dr. Turke was concerned the tooth would need to be extracted, but said he wanted to take a shot at saving it..and that's just what he did! After setting a temporary crown, I was on my way with an appointment to install the permanent crown in the following two weeks. That evening I received a call I've never received from a dentist. Dr. Turke had taken the time to follow up with me to make sure I wasn't in any discomfort..I was completely caught off guard by this kind of attention to detail and caring for my well being. The permanent crown is now in place, it fits and feels fantastic, the job and treatment are first class! Thank you, Dr. Turke and staff for taking in this stray and giving me a home dentist! I'd like to say that I'm just good at selecting blindly, but the truth is I am very lucky..and I'll take lucky over being good any day of the week! Thank you, again and Happiest of New Year's in 2026, Science Smile!!
