About Lakeview Dental
About Us

Modern Dentistry, Built on Trust

Our Story

Lakeview Dental was founded in 2010 by Dr. Sarah Mitchell with a simple vision: create a dental practice where patients genuinely look forward to their visits. Fifteen years later, that vision drives everything we do.

We've grown from a solo practice to a team of three experienced dentists, each bringing specialized expertise in different areas of dentistry. What hasn't changed is our commitment to treating every patient like family — listening to your concerns, explaining your options in plain language, and never recommending treatment you don't need.

Our Park Road office was designed for comfort. From the moment you walk in, you'll notice the difference — natural light, calming colors, warm blankets, and a team that greets you by name. We've invested in the latest technology not because it's flashy, but because it means better outcomes and more comfortable experiences for you.

Whether you're bringing your child for their first dental visit or you're an adult who hasn't been to the dentist in years, you'll find a judgment-free, welcoming environment at Lakeview Dental.

Reviews

What Our Clients Say

R
Rebecca L. General Dentistry Patient
★★★★★

"I hadn't been to the dentist in over five years because of severe anxiety. Dr. Mitchell and her team were incredibly patient and understanding. They talked me through everything, offered sedation options, and made me feel completely at ease. I actually look forward to my appointments now — something I never thought I'd say."

T
Thomas R. Dental Implant Patient
★★★★★

"Dr. Park placed two implants for me after I'd been wearing a partial denture for years. The whole process was smoother than I expected — he explained every step, the sedation was great, and the final crowns look completely natural. I can eat and smile with confidence again."

J
Jessica H. Invisalign Patient
★★★★★

"My Invisalign results are amazing. Dr. Chen showed me the 3D projection at my first visit and my teeth ended up looking even better than the simulation. The whole process took about 14 months, and nobody at work even noticed I was wearing aligners. Highly recommend."

FAQ

Common Questions

We accept most major dental insurance plans, including Delta Dental, MetLife, Cigna, Aetna, United Healthcare Dental, BlueCross BlueShield, and Guardian. Our team will verify your benefits before your appointment and help you maximize your coverage. If we're out of network with your plan, we can still file claims on your behalf. Don't have insurance? Ask about our Lakeview Membership Plan for uninsured patients.

Your first visit takes about 90 minutes and includes a full set of digital X-rays, a comprehensive exam, an oral cancer screening, and a professional cleaning (when appropriate). We'll discuss your dental history, listen to your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan together. We send new patient paperwork by email so you can complete it before you arrive.

Dental anxiety is incredibly common, and we take it seriously. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild anxiety, oral sedation for moderate anxiety, and IV sedation for more complex procedures or severe dental phobia. Our team is trained in gentle techniques, and we go at your pace. You're always in control — just raise your hand if you need a break.

In-office Zoom whitening results typically last 1-3 years, depending on your diet and habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco can cause staining to return more quickly. We provide a custom take-home touch-up kit with your whitening treatment so you can maintain your results at home. Most patients do a quick touch-up every 6-12 months.

Most adult Invisalign treatments at our office take 12-18 months, though minor cases can be completed in as few as 6 months. Treatment length depends on the complexity of your case. During your free consultation, Dr. Chen will give you a personalized timeline after reviewing your 3D scan. You'll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next set.

Call us immediately at (704) 555-0183. We reserve same-day appointment slots for emergencies and can usually see you within a few hours. If a tooth has been knocked out, keep it moist (in milk or back in the socket if possible) and get to our office within 30 minutes for the best chance of reimplantation. For after-hours emergencies, call our main number and follow the emergency prompts — Dr. Mitchell monitors after-hours calls.
