Restoring a smile that has experienced tooth loss, wear, or structural breakdown requires more than replacing what is missing. It requires understanding why the breakdown happened, what the bite needs to support long-term stability, and how to rebuild in a way that lasts. At 100 Dental Southlake in Southlake, TX, Dr. Baik brings a structured, diagnosis-first approach to every restorative and implant case, because durable results are always the product of thorough planning.
Diagnosis Before Any Restorative Decision Is Made
Before recommending any restorative treatment, Dr. Baik conducts a comprehensive evaluation of your bite, bone health, gum tissue, and existing tooth structure. As a Kois-trained dentist, she follows detailed protocols to understand the full clinical picture before a treatment plan is developed. This means patients receive recommendations grounded in what their mouth actually needs, not what is fastest or most convenient to provide.
CBCT-Guided Implant Planning
Dental implant placement at 100 Dental Southlake begins with 3D CBCT imaging that gives Dr. Baik a precise view of your bone volume, density, nerve pathways, and sinus anatomy before any surgical decisions are made. This level of detail allows for implant positioning that is safe, precise, and optimized for long-term stability. Both implant placement and restoration are performed in-house, meaning patients benefit from coordinated, consistent care from the first appointment through the final crown.
Restoring Function & Aesthetics Together
Restorative treatment at 100 Dental Southlake is never planned around appearance alone. How a restoration fits into the bite, how it distributes force, and how it supports the surrounding teeth and tissue are all evaluated as part of the planning process. The result is restorative work that looks natural and functions reliably, because both goals are pursued with equal attention.
Occlusal Stability As A Foundation for Implant Success
One of the most commonly overlooked factors in implant longevity is bite stability. An implant placed into an unbalanced bite is subject to excessive force that can compromise the implant over time. Dr. Baik’s training and diagnostic approach place significant emphasis on occlusal analysis before and during restorative treatment, ensuring that every restoration is supported by a bite that can sustain it long term.
Restorative Solutions Tailored To Your Needs
100 Dental Southlake offers a full range of in-house restorative options, including:
- Implant-supported crowns for single tooth replacement
- Implant-supported bridges for multiple adjacent missing teeth

- Full-mouth rehabilitation for patients with widespread wear, failure, or functional breakdown
Every solution is selected based on what the clinical situation calls for, with the least invasive option that reliably achieves the desired outcome always considered first.
Materials & Techniques That Hold Up Over Time
Evidence-based material selection is part of every restorative case at 100 Dental Southlake. Dr. Baik chose materials based on their clinical track record, the demands of the patient’s bite, and the location and function of the restoration. Long-term stability is always the benchmark, not just immediate aesthetics.
