Perry lived with tooth pain every day for more than 20 years. Headaches. Exhaustion. He couldn't drink anything cold. Most of his remaining teeth were broken down and infected.
His wife found Dr. Bender in a short video online. "He's up the street from us," she said. Perry walked in with sweaty palms, convinced it was going to be bad.
Dr. Bender laid out every option. Traditional dentures. Snap-in dentures. Fully fixed implants. The good and bad of each. Perry and his wife chose the path that fit their family and their budget. On surgery day, the infection came out and Perry walked out wearing new teeth.
Today he's sleeping better and has more energy than he's had in years. His kids noticed first.
"I went probably 20 some years with pain in my mouth all the time, every day. I have no more pain in my mouth. It's awesome."
Perry
"Even the kids... they're all just, 'I've never seen you smile like this, ever.'"
Perry
"I didn't know dentistry has come this far. Absolute night and day."
Perry
Brianna's braces came off early when she joined the military. That left gaps in her back teeth, crowding in her lower teeth, and a smile that always bothered her. Aligners helped a little. Not enough.
At her first visit, Dr. Bender asked one simple question: "If you could improve anything about your smile, what would it be?" In her words, "That just kind of opened up the whole book."
Instead of patching her front teeth, Dr. Bender planned veneers and crowns from the back teeth forward so the work would last. Then she got to wear a mockup of her new smile before a single tooth was touched, and they fine-tuned it together until it was right.
Now people keep telling her there's something different about her. That was the whole point.
"The first day that we put on the temporaries, I was almost in tears. I'm like, this is the smile I wanted."
Brianna
"We truly got to see what the end result was going to be... which gave me a lot of reassurance."
Brianna
"She comes in smiling and beaming every time that we see her."

There's no one right answer for broken or missing teeth. There's the right answer for your mouth, your budget, and your timeline. Dr. Bender will always give you a few options and walk you through the pros and cons of each.
One broken, cracked, or missing tooth. A crown, a filling, or a dental implant gets you chewing on both sides again, usually in just a few visits.
Several broken or missing teeth. Implants, bridges, and crowns planned together so your bite works, your teeth last, and your smile looks like you.
Most of your teeth need work. Full mouth restoration, implant-supported teeth, snap-in dentures, or traditional dentures. One plan. One finish line. Done.
Some patients handle the biggest problem today and plan the rest over the next couple of years. Others want it done once and for all. Both are good answers. We'll map out each one so you can decide.
We understand how much this impacts your everyday life, and we're here to help.
There's a tooth that's cracked, broken, or already gone. Cold drinks hurt. Steak is off the menu. You eat around the problem every single day.
You dodge the group photo. You turn the camera off on video calls. You laugh with your hand over your mouth and hope nobody notices.
Maybe five. Maybe fifteen. Now you're dreading the lecture almost as much as the drill. So you keep putting it off.
Crowns that fall off. Fillings that crack. Back in the chair again, paying for another patch that won't last.
And you're thinking, I'm too young for that. You're right to hesitate.
Your teeth take a beating three or more times a day, every day of your life. Things break. That's not a character flaw.
What keeps people stuck is the way most dentistry works. Quick patches built around what insurance will cover, so you're always playing catch up. Rushed appointments where nobody explains anything. And that feeling of being judged the second you open your mouth.
So people wait. The problem grows. And the waiting makes the fear worse.
We built Lakeville Modern Dentistry to be the opposite. We listen first. We show you everything. And we never, ever make you feel bad about how long it's been.
3D X-rays, photos, and a real conversation. Every tooth gets checked. You get honest answers about what's going on and what can be done. No rushing.
Every option laid out side by side with itemized pricing. Then AI-driven digital smile design shows you exactly what your new teeth will look like, designed to fit your face. Some patients even get to wear a mockup of their new smile before treatment starts.
Watch a movie on the ceiling TV. Grab a blanket and headphones. Laughing gas is available, and full sedation with board-certified anesthesiologists if you need it. For many denture patients, you walk out with teeth the same day.
Broken teeth don't heal. Cracks spread, neighbors shift, and a crown today can turn into an extraction and an implant tomorrow.
Infected teeth and gums wear your whole body down. Patients tell us they were tired, run down, and fighting headaches for years without knowing why.
Paying every year for repairs and temporary fixes adds up. And you're still stuck in the chair.
Photos you skip. Food you avoid. Laughs you hold back. Time you don't get back.
Big picture dental care with a small practice heart. Lakeville Modern Dentistry is privately owned by Dr. Eric Bender. No corporate quotas. No conveyor belt. Just a team that wants you to love your smile again.
It doesn't matter how long it's been or how bad you think it is. You'll hear options, not a lecture. Patients say it over and over in our reviews.
Dr. Bender completed advanced training at the Kois Center in Seattle, cosmetic training under Dr. Andi Jean Miro in Los Angeles, and implant surgery training under Dr. Justin Moody. The complex cases other offices refer out are the ones he loves most.
3D imaging and AI-driven smile design mean no guessing and no surprises. Your new smile is designed around your face, not a template.
Itemized costs before anything starts. Financing through CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and Sunbit. An in-house membership plan if you don't have insurance. And if you do, we work hard to get you every dollar of your benefits.
Ceiling TVs, blankets, headphones, laughing gas, and full sedation options. Raise your hand anytime and we stop. That's a promise.
We don't cut appointments short. Ask every question. Take the time you need to decide.
"As a dentist and practice owner in the metro area, I can confidently say Dr. Bender is who I trust with my own dental care."

Almost never. We work with people who haven't seen a dentist in decades and people with every tooth broken or missing. Whatever's going on, there's a path forward.
No. We don't shame anyone for waiting. We'd rather you came in today than worried about it another year.
It depends on your path. One crown and a full mouth restoration are very different numbers. You'll get itemized pricing for every option before anything starts, and you'll never get a surprise bill in the mail.
We offer financing through CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and Sunbit, plus an in-house membership plan if you don't have insurance. And you can always fix the biggest problem now and plan the rest in phases.
We're insurance friendly and work hard to maximize your benefits. Just know that insurance rarely covers everything for bigger cases, and we'll be upfront about what it will and won't do.
We'll make sure you're comfortable before we start and check in the whole way. Laughing gas and full sedation are available. Raise your hand and we stop. Most patients tell us the worry was worse than the visit.
Not necessarily. Dentures are one option. Implants, bridges, and crowns may be others. Dr. Bender will always show you a few and let you choose.
Imagine biting into whatever you want. Laughing without covering your mouth. Smiling in the family photo. Hearing someone say, "Something's different about you."
That starts with one conversation with Dr. Bender.
No judgment. No pressure. Just honest options.
