General Dentist Liberty Township
As a general dentist, Dr. Laura Arnold believes dentistry should be both restorative and preventive — helping patients not only repair damaged teeth, but better understand the underlying causes behind oral health concerns. At Arnold Dental & Wellness, we combine modern technology, biologically conscious materials, and personalized care to create treatment plans that are thoughtful, long-lasting, and tailored to each individual patient.
Your Mouth is a Window to the Rest of Your Body
We are committed to helping patients create healthier habits and healthier smiles that last a lifetime.
Bioactive Fillings
When a tooth develops a cavity or begins to break down, our goal is not simply to “fill a hole,” but to help strengthen and protect the tooth for the long term. That is why we use advanced bioactive filling materials and bonding agents designed to work with your body rather than simply sit passively inside the tooth. These materials continuously release ions to help support remineralization, strengthen weakened tooth structure, and create a more stable seal between the filling and the tooth itself.
Traditional fillings can sometimes fail over time when bacteria and moisture seep around the edges of the restoration. Bioactive materials are designed to help prevent this by creating a more protective environment that discourages bacterial growth and supports the tooth’s natural healing response. In deeper areas of decay, these materials may even help stimulate the tooth to repair and protect itself from within. Our philosophy is always to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible while providing restorations that are durable, functional, and biologically supportive.
Zirconia Crowns
When a tooth has been significantly weakened or damaged, a crown may be recommended to restore its strength, function, and appearance. At Arnold Dental & Wellness, we use high-quality zirconia crowns for teeth that experience heavy biting forces — especially back teeth or patients who clench and grind. Zirconia is an incredibly strong, tooth-colored material often referred to as “ceramic steel” because of its exceptional durability and resistance to fracture.
In addition to being strong, zirconia crowns are beautifully natural in appearance and designed to blend seamlessly with your smile. They are biocompatible, resistant to staining, and often require less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to traditional crowns. We partner with a trusted dental laboratory that guarantees the crown material itself for life, allowing us to provide restorations that are not only aesthetic, but built to last.
Clenching, Grinding & TMJ Therapy
Jaw tension, clenching, grinding, headaches, and TMJ discomfort can affect far more than just your teeth. Many patients live with chronic muscle tension, worn teeth, fractured dental work, migraines, or jaw pain without realizing how connected these symptoms can be. At Arnold Dental & Wellness, we evaluate the health and function of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding muscles to better understand the root cause of these issues and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Treatment may include custom night guards designed to protect your teeth and reduce stress on the jaw joints while you sleep, as well as therapeutic Botox to help relax overactive muscles contributing to tension and pain. Our goal is not simply to manage symptoms temporarily, but to help patients feel more comfortable, protect their long-term oral health, and improve overall quality of life through thoughtful, personalized care.
