Switched hygienists in coming to J&D Dental and it was the greatest dental experience I have ever had. Sarah is not only exceptional, but the care was impressive as well. The technology available is first class, and a simple cleaning procedure was a breeze. Dr. Herbert is beyond personable and great at her craft as well. Could not recommend J&D Dental more highly.

I happened to get a mailer from them right when I was considering trying a downtown dentist after a recent move, and I'm so glad I did. The hygienist was great, as was the dentist (Sarah), and their tech was even better than my last office (which was top notch). I highly recommend these folks!

Douglas Meisner

First and only dentists office I have ever been to, hoping to keep it that way. Staff is great. Service is excellent. So many people talk about how they hate going to the dentist, but with J & D Dental the experience is enjoyable. I tell my friends about my dentist office and they get jealous.

I've been a patient here for 20+ years and have only ever had positive experiences. The ladies at the front desk are welcoming, the dental hygienists are kind and gentle, and Dr. Herbert and her assistants are excellent. My dental hygiene habits have fluctuated over the years and during the worst of times, I was treated with the same respect and care that I'm treated with now. I cannot recommend and thank Dr. Herbert and her amazing team enough.

Common Questions About Restorative Dentistry

Why would I need restorative dentistry?

You might need restorative care if you have teeth that are cracked, chipped, worn down, or affected by decay. Damaged teeth can impact your ability to eat comfortably and may lead to more serious dental problems if left untreated. Early intervention with restorative treatments can prevent the need for more extensive procedures later. Regular dental check-ups help identify potential issues before they become major concerns requiring extensive restoration.

What types of restorative treatments are available?

Our restorative solutions range from simple tooth-colored fillings to more comprehensive treatments like same-day crowns and bridges. Each treatment is designed to address specific dental concerns while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. Our iTero scanner helps us plan precise, minimally invasive treatments. CEREC technology allows us to create perfect-fitting crowns in a single appointment, eliminating the need for temporary restorations.

Will my restored tooth look natural?

Modern restorative materials are designed to match your natural tooth color and translucency perfectly. Using our iTero scanner, we capture exact measurements and shading of your surrounding teeth to ensure seamless integration. Our CEREC technology allows us to craft restorations that mimic the subtle characteristics of natural teeth. The final result is a restoration that blends so well with your smile, even you might forget which tooth was restored.
