When dental work keeps failing, the answer is not another crown. It is a deeper level of diagnosis — then a plan built around what it actually finds.
From a single filling to a full-mouth reconstruction — planned together, staged for your timeline, and backed by the same diagnostic standard.
A permanent replacement for missing teeth, built on thorough diagnostic planning. Cone beam imaging, DEXA bone density scans, and collaborative surgical planning with Dr. Becker.
Jaw pain, clicking, locking, and chronic headaches are symptoms most dentists don't treat. Dr. House diagnoses the underlying jaw and bite issues and builds a plan to resolve them.
Single crowns milled and placed in one visit with CEREC same-day technology. Bridges evaluated for long-term success based on the supporting teeth and the position of the bite.
Implant-supported snap-in dentures that provide real stability without a full fixed restoration. A proven alternative to All-on-4, planned with the same diagnostic thoroughness.
Custom dentures and partials designed and fabricated in-house by Robert, our denturist, working directly with Dr. House. They cost more because they take more time. And it's worth it.
Adult orthodontics as part of a full treatment plan. Moving teeth into the right position so implants work, the bite functions, and long-term restorations hold. Functional, not cosmetic.
When years of dental problems have compounded, full-mouth reconstruction rebuilds everything from the ground up. Planned collaboratively with Dr. Becker and Robert, staged to your timeline.
Porcelain veneers placed as part of a full restoration, not a cosmetic-only service. Dr. House places veneers when the bite, the jaw, and the underlying structure support a result that will last.
Restorative dentistry rarely starts with the tooth. It starts with a symptom — and the reason it's there. These are the patterns we see most often.
A crown re-cemented two or three times is rarely a crown problem — it's a bite problem. Until the cause is found, the next one fails too.

Read More Common ConcernYour neurologist checked. The headaches persist. The connection to your bite, jaw, and sleep often gets missed until a dentist looks at the whole picture.

Read More Second OpinionsWhen dental work keeps failing, the issue is almost never skill — it's a diagnosis that didn't go deep enough. A different kind of exam usually finds what was missed.

Beyond the fix — here is what changes when every restoration is built on a full diagnosis.
Treat the cause — not just the broken tooth — so the next crown, bridge, or implant holds.
A stable bite means biting into what you've quietly been avoiding for years.
A restoration built right looks, feels, and functions like the teeth you were born with.
Stop the chain reaction of chipping, shifting, and grinding before it costs you more teeth.
Leave knowing exactly what is happening, what comes next, and why — in plain language.
Restorative dentistry covers everything from a single filling to a full-mouth reconstruction. But at House Dental, the restoration is never the first step. The first step is understanding why something broke down in the first place.
A crown placed without understanding the bite will fail again. A bridge built on a shifting foundation will not hold. An implant set without assessing bone density and overall health is a gamble. Dr. Allison House has spent 24 years watching well-made dental work fail — not because the dentist did anything wrong, but because the underlying cause was never identified. That is not bad dentistry. That is an incomplete diagnosis.
Every restorative case here begins with a two-hour first visit. Cone beam CT scans, full-series X-rays, digital impressions, photographs, and a complete medical history review that includes medications, blood pressure, diet, and sleep. Dr. House collects the data first. She looks at the whole picture. Then she builds a plan that addresses what is actually going on, not just what is visible on the surface. When you start with the right information, the restoration lasts.
Your two-hour first visit includes cone beam CT scans, full-series X-rays, digital impressions, and photographs. Dr. House reviews your bite, joint health, medical history, medications, diet, and sleep. Nothing is assumed.
Dr. House studies the data and identifies why the breakdown happened — not just what broke. She explains what's happening with your teeth, bite, and joints in plain language before any treatment is recommended.
From a single crown to a full-mouth rebuild, every plan is staged. Stabilize first. Restore second. Protect third. You see the order, the timeline, and the investment before anything begins, and nothing surprises you.
Implants place in coordination with Dr. Becker. Dentures hand-built by Robert in-house. Orthodontics and sleep medicine brought in when the case calls for it. One cohesive plan — not handoffs.
Restoration doesn't end on the day it's placed. Dr. House builds follow-up into every plan so the results hold. There's a right moment for everybody — and a right pace for keeping the outcome stable.
Twenty-four years of saying yes to the cases most dentists refer out — because rebuilding teeth properly is what she does best.
Dr. House has spent her career inside the complex restorative work general dentists often refer out — implants, full-mouth reconstruction, failed dental work, TMJ, and the bite issues behind them. She diagnoses thoroughly, plans collaboratively, and builds restorations designed to hold for decades.
Four things that make this practice different — and why restorative work done here tends to hold.
Most dental breakdowns have a cause nobody has investigated. Dr. House starts with a two-hour first visit that includes cone beam CT imaging, full-series X-rays, digital scans, and a careful evaluation of bite, joint, and overall health. She looks at the whole picture before recommending anything.
Single-visit crowns, custom dentures hand-built by Robert in-house, and restorations designed to the millimeter. Fewer appointments, faster turnaround, and tighter quality control than work sent to outside labs.
Complex restoration often needs an oral surgeon, orthodontist, denturist, or sleep specialist. Dr. House brings that team in from the start so every phase supports the next — no handoffs, no repeated work. It's a group effort.
Cosmetics follow function here. A restoration that looks beautiful but doesn't fit the bite will fail. Dr. House plans every case around how it has to hold up for the next 20 years — the appearance follows.
I'd had the same crown re-cemented three times at two different offices. Dr. House found a bite issue no one else had caught, stabilized it, and built the replacement crown around the fix. Four years later it hasn't budged.
Verified Google ReviewI came in thinking I needed All-on-4. Dr. House walked me through locator dentures instead and explained why it was the better long-term call for me. She treats you like an adult. The dentures fit beautifully — I can eat steak again.

Restorative dentistry is the branch of dental care that repairs, replaces, and rebuilds damaged or missing teeth. It includes fillings, crowns and bridges, implants, dentures, and full-mouth reconstruction. At House Dental, every restorative plan starts with a thorough diagnosis of why the damage happened in the first place.
Every case begins with a two-hour first visit that includes cone beam CT scans, full-series X-rays, digital impressions, photographs, and a complete medical history review. Dr. House reviews the data, identifies the root cause, and then stages a plan that addresses the cause first so the restoration lasts.
Cost depends on the scope. A single crown is different from a full-mouth reconstruction. House Dental accepts CIGNA and Aetna, and offers financing through CareCredit and Proceed Finance. Every plan is presented with a clear quote and staged options so you understand your investment before treatment begins. See insurance & financing details.
Yes. Many of Dr. House's patients arrive after restorations placed elsewhere have failed repeatedly. The first step is not redoing the work — it's finding out why it failed. Once the cause is understood, the new restoration is designed to hold. Read more about second opinions.
A well-planned restoration placed on a stable bite can last decades. The lifespan depends far less on the material and far more on whether the underlying cause — bite forces, grinding, missing teeth, sleep issues — has been addressed. That's why diagnosis comes first.
Yes. Dr. House collaborates with Dr. Becker (oral surgery), Robert (denturist), and local orthodontists and sleep specialists. Complex restorative cases are planned as a team so every phase supports the next.
House Dental is at Camelback and 32nd Street — just east of the Biltmore and a few minutes from Paradise Valley and Scottsdale.
No matter how simple or complex the restoration, it starts with understanding the whole picture. Your teeth, your bite, your health, your history. That's what the first visit is for.
