Why Choose Stebbins Dental Studio?
Why Stebbins Dental Studio?
Dr. Stebbins is always learning. It would be difficult to find another dentist in the northwest who puts as much time and money into professional continuing education. She believes it is her responsibility to continually improve her treatment skills and knowledge to provide the best care in the country. She has honed her cosmetic skills with courses from internationally renowned instructors to achieve consistent, beautiful results. Dr. Stebbins feels that it is vital for patients to have the autonomy to make their own healthcare decisions, and our job to support and educate with complete transparency of fees and time involved. As a sixth generation Flathead Valley resident, she is an active contributor to this unique and inspiring community of hardworking, adventurous individuals.
Technology:
State-of-the-art technology is essential to any dental practice. Our Airflow Polishers utilize warm, soothing water and polishing powder to gently and effectively remove plaque and debris from your gums and teeth. These machines are quickly becoming the standard of care for patients with dental implants and bone loss. This technique, called “guided biofilm therapy” has been proven to comfortably and safely penetrate below the surface and eliminate the bad bacteria that cause periodontal disease. We do not use lasers or other tools that can damage gum and bone.

Our Medit Scanner
We use our state of the art Medit scanner to quickly and accurately take records of your teeth. We can use these digital scans to make study models, plan a smile makeover, or simulate orthodontics. This technology opens the door to a new world of treatment options.

Lab Affiliations:
You will not get a “crown in a day” in this office. There is no “one size fits all” approach. Dr. Stebbins contracts with respected, trustworthy dental laboratories who craft artisan-level custom restorations for each patient. Dr. Stebbins has a personal relationship with her dental labs and works carefully to ensure the optimal aesthetics and function for each individual.

In this age of additives in almost everything, you can rest assured that Dr. Stebbins always uses the highest quality materials and products that are FDA approved and made in the U.S. She uses white composite resin fillings and porcelain crowns. For those that value a traditional approach, Dr. Stebbins offers gold crowns and fillings for the most biomimetic material possible. This tried and true material is safe and biocompatible, and can be a wonderful and lasting restorative option.
