Board-Certified Prosthodontist · Columbia, MD

The Full Picture.
From the First Visit.

A board-certified prosthodontist in Columbia, MD. Advanced imaging you can see for yourself. A complete diagnosis in your first visit. This is dentistry at a different standard.

The Brand Promise

You will never leave this practice wondering what's going on in your own mouth. You will see what we see, understand your options, and be respected as a whole person — not just a set of teeth.

Diagnostic Transparency

We don't ask you to take our word for it. We show you.

CBCT imaging, AI-enhanced radiographs, and intraoral scanning — not as a feature list, but as a way to bring you into the diagnosis. You see what we see, in real time.

Comprehensive, Not Piecemeal

Your last dentist fixed the tooth. We look at the whole picture.

A board-certified prosthodontist is trained to read the full clinical context — teeth, bite, bone, function. The plan addresses where you're headed, not just today's complaint.

Ethical Expertise

Board-certified. Teaching-level expertise. And we'll never recommend work you don't need.

Dr. Cross pursued specialty training and board certification to practice at the highest level — and to have the harder conversation when a quick fix isn't in your long-term interest.

Respect for the Whole Person

We'll give you real options — because your life is part of the plan, too.

Two to three real paths forward, accounting for clinical findings, financial reality, and personal readiness. The success of a consultation is measured by your clarity — not by whether you proceed.

The First Visit

One hour.
Complete clarity.

A comprehensive digital exam. CBCT, AI-enhanced radiographs, and Trios 6 intraoral scanning. A one-on-one consultation with Dr. Cross. Technology-driven treatment planning.

You leave with a real diagnosis and two to three treatment plan options — the same day, in the same hour.

Services

Specialist-level care, under one roof.

Crown & Bridge

A crown isn't just a cap — it's a restoration that has to fit your bite, protect your tooth, and look like it was always there. Ours are designed digitally and crafted in our in-house lab.

Smile Makeovers

We build your new smile digitally before we touch a single tooth. Intraoral scans and photos create a virtual version of you — studied, designed, and refined.

Dental Implants

A prosthodontist plans the restoration first, then builds backward to the implant. Single tooth or full arch. That's the difference between a replacement and a result.

Dentures

Dentures have a reputation problem — and most of it is earned. Ours are designed digitally by a board-certified prosthodontist and crafted in our in-house lab.
