SMILE
MAKEOVERS

A smile makeover can be an elective procedure, or can be a by-product of
otherwise needed major work, such as replacing missing teeth. We’ll explain your
options.

Learn More
02


FULL-MOUTH
REHABILITATION

Sometimes the teeth completely break down. Painful TMJ disorder or other major
dental problems can require full-mouth reconstruction by a specialist.

Learn More
03


DENTAL
IMPLANTS

A dental implant is the most conservative way to replace a missing tooth because
it doesn’t require any work on the adjacent teeth. Implants are also used to
replace multiple teeth.

04


WHITE
FILLINGS

White fillings are made of a composite of resin and nano-particles of glass and
silica that are bonded to the teeth. Every year brings improvements in this
technology and they are now stronger than ever.

“The entire staff is so friendly, and even ask follow-up questions about
previous conversations from previous appointments (How is your dog doing since
he was sick? Did you get that project done at work?) They treat their patients
like family and you can feel entirely comfortable knowing that the well-being of
your teeth and mouth are in this team’s hands! Thank you 5 Star Dental!”


Caitlin Yount

“Dr. Tostado and the office staff are wonderful. Best service I have had at a
dental office. The hygienist was knowledgeable, gentle and sweet.”


J.P.M.

“My wife and I drive about one hour and fifteen minutes, each way, and pass a
lot of dentists traveling to 5 Star Dental Group and I have done so for about
thirty-five years. I do not hesitate in recommending 5 Star Dental Group to
anyone who is seeking a knowledgeable, caring, friendly dentist and staff.”


Bill Dean

“The biggest thing is my TMJ issues being resolved. I really didn’t realize that
I was getting so many headaches and had so much pain on a daily basis from TMJ!
I only mentioned it to Dr Carlson because I usually have to use a little block
during treatment. I went from taking ibuprofen every day, to not taking any at
all after his treatment. I can’t believe the difference. After years of ongoing
daily pain, I wouldn’t have believed it could have been eliminated by a
dentist!”


Melinda Wickley

I needed a new crown on a front tooth, and I am VERY happy with the result. It
matches the other front tooth perfectly, and was all done in one visit. And Dr.
Tostado was gentle and took the time to listen to my concerns. As well, his
staff is very thorough. I would highly recommend Dr. Tostado and his team!


Lisa L.

“Simply the best of the best. When you walk into the office reception area you
know you’re in a first-class environment – it speaks quality and
professionalism, and that’s the level of care you’re provided. Thanks for
providing superb dental care and having such a high standard of performance.”


Maxie Howard

Impressive! The care given to me by both Dr Gilbert Tostado & Dr Acuna was truly
outstanding! What professional & caring individuals I’m lucky enough to call my
dentists!


Beth Dean

Dr. Tostado and the staff are very friendly and made me feel right at home! I am
ordinarily very nervous about going to the dentist, but they made me
comfortable, and I LOVE MY NEW SMILE❤.
