Restoring worn dentitions. Replacing missing teeth. Upgrading old fillings and crowns. Restoring the health and appearance of your smile.
This is the foundation of our specialty.
Formal training will provide the knowledge and principles, but experience will allow an understanding of clinical capabilities and potential.
Dr. Schelkopf’s years of formal residency allowed him the understanding to surgically and prosthetically manage the most advanced reconstructive cases, and his years of private practice allowed him to turn that expertise into helping thousands of patients find comfort and confidence in their smile,
just like you.
Don’t take our word for it, visit our gallery of cases or patient reviews to see for yourself.
Our workflow is the key to successful, consistent results for each reconstruction — whether rebuilding a worn dentition, replacing old crowns, or replacing broken down or missing teeth. The standard never wavers, but the care is personalized for every patient.
A virtual or in-person consultation to meet, understand your concerns, and discuss the path forward. When you’re ready, we schedule your records appointment and Dr. Schelkopf personally diagnoses the case and designs your blueprint by hand.
The first phase includes completing any surgical treatment, shaping the teeth, and placement of the temporary design. Before final restorations are fabricated, the design is tested in your mouth as a prototype — allowing you to see, feel, and refine the result while everything is easily adjustable. Aesthetics, function, and phonetics are confirmed against the plan before the case moves to final ceramics.
Final restorations are fabricated in concert with our master ceramist to the approved prototype — nothing left to interpretation. This close control is what defines the consistency of our results. The same hand that designed and prepared the case delivers the final result: precise, predictable, and built to last.
Every reconstruction is personally planned, designed, and cared for. The right combination of approaches depends on the case — prepared and delivered by Dr. Schelkopf from start to finish.
Rebuilding teeth that have worn down from grinding, age, or acid erosion. We restore both the height of the teeth and the function of your bite with proper design and material selection. Not only does this recreate the naturally-beautiful aesthetics of a youthful, healthy smile, but it protects against future damage so that your results are built to last.
Whether replacing a single tooth or multiple, a thoughtful combination of implants, bridges, and restorative options are selected to restore the function and aesthetics of your smile — designed specifically around your case and your goals.
Outdated fillings and crowns can compromise the health of your teeth, the appearance of your smile, and the function of your bite. Modern materials and conservative techniques allow us to upgrade old restorations and restore the long-term health of your dentition.
Modern materials and clinical techniques allow for healthier, more conservative approaches — maintaining more natural tooth structure and more longevity in our results. Success does not have to be complicated. Let our advanced training and expertise make your case and experience feel simple and seamless.
Reconstruction at Stuart is never a series of disconnected restorations. The entire case is designed as one — every contour planned to support the next, every material selected for its role in the bite, every aesthetic decision made in the context of the whole face. Feldspathic porcelain, lithium disilicate, and zirconia each have a place; knowing which to use, and where, is what separates a reconstruction that lasts from one that does not.
Whether the case is six worn anteriors or a full-mouth rebuild combining implants, crowns, and veneers — the same hand diagnoses, designs, prepares, and delivers. The same studio fabricates every component. That is what specialty-level reconstruction looks like.
Reconstruction is an investment in your health, your function, and the way you live. Our team is always here for you, making every step clear and comfortable, through transparent, thoughtful conversations about expectations before any treatment begins — from sequencing and finances to timing and travel.

Patient reviewsEvery reconstruction begins with an unhurried first conversation — virtual or in person. Dr. Schelkopf reviews every case personally before any treatment is recommended.
