A damaged or missing tooth changes more than your smile. It can change how you eat, speak, and feel every day, and dental problems rarely improve on their own.
At All Smiles Dentistry in Lake Stevens, Dr. Jason Steinhubel and our team treat everything from a single cracked tooth to widespread damage. We examine your teeth, walk you through your options in plain language, and recommend care designed to hold up over time. You can also browse our full range of dental services.
Restorative dentistry repairs, replaces, or rebuilds teeth that are damaged, decayed, or missing. The goal is to bring back how your teeth work as well as how they look, so you can eat comfortably, speak clearly, and protect your oral health for the long term.
Tooth decay is common. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that about 21% of adults ages 20 to 64 have at least one untreated cavity. A cavity that has grown past what a simple filling can fix, or a tooth that has been missing for years, can often be addressed with the right restorative plan.
Patients come to us for many reasons, including untreated cavities, cracked or fractured teeth, injuries, gum disease, and gradual wear from grinding. Many have put off care for years because they worried about pain or cost. Those concerns are common, and we explain each step and your payment options before treatment begins.
All Smiles Dentistry offers restorative care under one roof, so most treatments can be completed without a referral elsewhere. Our services include these options, matched to the severity of your concern and your long-term goals:
We also provide wisdom tooth removal and TMJ/TMD treatment, and we can rebuild worn teeth and fit custom night guards for patients who grind.
Every mouth is different, and your dentist makes the final recommendation after an exam. This general guide shows how common concerns are often matched to treatment.
| Your situation | Common option | How it helps |
|---|---|---|
| A cavity or small crack | Tooth-colored filling | Repairs the tooth while keeping most of your natural structure. |
| A large cavity, a cracked tooth, or a tooth after a root canal | Dental crown | Covers and strengthens the tooth. |
| Infection or inflammation inside the tooth | Root canal therapy | Removes the infected tissue so the tooth may be saved. |
| One missing tooth | Dental implant or dental bridge | Fills the gap to restore chewing and appearance. |
| A tooth that cannot be saved | Extraction, then replacement | Removes the source of the problem and protects neighboring teeth. |
| Widespread wear, damage, or missing teeth | Full mouth reconstruction | Combines treatments into one coordinated plan. |
Not sure which row sounds like you? We can help you sort it out at your first visit.
A small cavity is a lot like a small roof leak. Caught early, it is a quick repair. Left alone, it can grow into a much bigger job. A filling that is delayed may become a crown, and a tooth that could have been saved with root canal therapy may need to be removed if infection spreads. Restorative dentistry works best when care starts at the right time, so we focus on catching concerns early and laying out your options before they escalate.
We use lasers, digital x-rays, digital impressions, intraoral cameras, 3D cone beam imaging, and microscope dentistry to plan treatment with more precision and, in many cases, fewer appointments. You can see more of our dental technology. That matters for busy families and working professionals in the Lake Stevens area.
Knowing what happens before you sit in the chair makes the whole process feel easier.
If anything about treatment worries you, tell us when you call so we can plan around your comfort.
Choosing a provider for restorative work is a big decision. All Smiles Dentistry brings together experienced clinicians, including Dr. Jason Steinhubel, whose background in endodontics gives our practice a strong foundation in one of the most technically demanding areas of restorative care. Dr. Izoh Ashour, DDS, MS, is a board certified periodontist and implantologist with European and U.S. training who supports our implant and periodontal cases, and Dr. Andrea Price, DDS, is passionate about building lasting relationships with every patient she sees.
We are contracted with Delta Dental, Regents, and Primera, and we also welcome patients with out-of-network benefits. Those plans include Cigna, Aetna, Guardian, Standard, MetLife, Principal, BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, TRICARE, and VA with pre-authorization, and our insurance information has more detail. For flexible payment options, we offer Cherry financing first, with CareCredit available as another choice.
Restoring your smile is one of the most meaningful steps you can take for your health and comfort. Dr. Jason Steinhubel opened All Smiles Dentistry in Lake Stevens in 2004, and with our team of providers and modern technology under one roof, we are here to help you feel comfortable, informed, and confident at every step.

Our goal is to save your natural tooth whenever that is possible. Before recommending a tooth extraction, our dentists look at other options, such as root canal therapy or a filling, and explain what each one involves. Modern materials and techniques can restore teeth that once would have been lost.
Several options can replace a missing tooth, and dental implants are widely considered the gold standard because they restore both function and appearance. If an implant is not the right fit, a dental bridge is another option that may suit different needs and budgets. We review each option with you before you decide.
That depends on how much healthy tooth structure remains. We try to preserve as much natural tooth as possible, so a filling is usually our first choice. When the damage is too extensive, or when a tooth has had a root canal, we may recommend a dental crown.
We numb the treatment area, and nitrous oxide sedation is available for patients who feel anxious. Some tenderness afterward is common and is usually manageable, and we review aftercare with you before you leave. If fear has kept you from the dentist, tell us when you call so we can plan your visit around your comfort.
Coverage depends on your plan and the treatment. We are contracted with Delta Dental, Regents, and Primera, and we accept out-of-network benefits from many other plans. We also offer Cherry financing, with CareCredit as another option, so cost does not have to keep you from getting care. Our team can help you see how your benefits may apply.
That depends on the treatment. A filling is often completed in one visit, while crowns, bridges, implants, and full mouth plans take more time and are mapped out at your consultation. Digital impressions and imaging help us plan carefully and, in many cases, reduce the number of appointments.
Our team always listens to your concerns and gets to know you before customizing your experience to your needs. We want to ensure your comfort while bringing you the best treatments modern family dentistry has to offer.
