Re·gen's approach to dentistry
Most people leave a filling without ever seeing the tooth. At Re·gen we photograph it before, during and after, even for a small filling, so you see what was there and what changed, and you know what you paid for and why.
We also look past the one tooth you came in about, to your bite, your habits and your gums. When the cause is found, a repair has a better chance of lasting, and you spend fewer visits fixing the same tooth. And when the best plan is to leave something alone and keep an eye on it, we'll tell you, so you aren't paying for work you don't need.
The team
Good dentistry is as much about understanding people as it is about teeth. So we take our time. We ask what happened at past visits and what matters to you, and we explain each step before we begin.
The best part of the practice is the people, especially the friendships that grow between our team and our patients, visit after visit. When you walk in, we want you to think: “Okay. This is a place that sees me.”
We'd like Re·gen to be a steady part of life in Lakeview: kids growing up in the practice, families comfortable stopping in, and a place people tell their friends about.

A KGoogle · Dec 2025“More like a spa than a dentist's office”
“The office feels cozy, spotless, and very modern — more like a spa than a dentist's office. Dr. Erin was wonderful — she took her time to explain everything in detail and really paid close attention to my needs and concerns.”
