Southside Dental Arts provides both advanced restorative treatment and comprehensive general dentistry. While Dr. Baldree is a prosthodontist with specialized training, the practice is intentionally structured to allow unhurried, relationship-based care for patients seeking long-term oral health — not just quick visits.
the value of your smile
A healthy smile is about more than appearance — it plays an important role in your overall well-being. Growing research continues to explore the connections between oral health and systemic health, including relationships with heart disease, diabetes, respiratory conditions, and pregnancy outcomes. Maintaining a healthy mouth supports your body as a whole.
Comfortable chewing and stable bite function also contribute to good nutrition. When eating becomes difficult or uncomfortable, people often avoid the foods that are most important for long-term health, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and proteins.
Your teeth and jaws are equally important for clear speech and social confidence. When people struggle to eat, speak, or smile comfortably, it can affect self-esteem and quality of life. Thoughtful dental care that restores comfort, function, and natural appearance can make a meaningful difference in how people feel every day.
Comprehensive dental care
In addition to advanced restorative treatment, Southside Dental Arts provides comprehensive general dental care for patients who value a thoughtful, unhurried approach. Appointments are structured to allow time for careful evaluation, meaningful conversation, and long-term planning — not rushed, high-volume visits.
With a limited number of hygiene appointments each day, care is delivered in a calm environment focused on prevention, comfort, and lasting oral health.
Our comprehensive care includes:
Preventive examinations and professional cleanings
Periodontal health maintenance
Implant maintenance and hygiene support for long-term implant health
Tooth-colored restorations (fillings)
Conservative treatment for worn or damaged teeth
Custom take-home whitening trays with professional-strength carbamide peroxide gel
Monitoring of bite function and overall oral health
Our hygiene team is experienced in caring for both natural teeth and implant restorations, helping patients maintain healthy, stable results for years to come.
Patients who choose us for ongoing care often appreciate the continuity, attention to detail, and the relationship-based approach that comes from seeing the same doctor over time.
Prosthodontic & Advanced Restorative Care
As a prosthodontist, Dr. Baldree has advanced specialty training in restoring complex dental conditions involving function, structure, and esthetics. This level of care is often sought when treatment requires careful coordination, detailed planning, and long-term durability.
Patients and referring dentists from throughout the region seek care at Southside Dental Arts for:
Full-mouth rehabilitation and complex restorative cases
Implant planning and implant-supported restorations
Replacement of multiple missing teeth
Restoration of severely worn or damaged bites
Esthetic rehabilitation requiring careful balance of form and function
Prosthodontic treatment may include:
Crowns and bridges
Porcelain veneers
Implant crowns and implant bridges
Implant-supported overdentures
Fixed-detachable full-arch restorations (“hybrid” or “teeth-in-a-day” solutions)
Complete and partial dentures
Maxillofacial prosthetics, such as obturators
These treatments are approached with a focus on precision, longevity, and natural appearance — always with time devoted to thorough evaluation and clear communication.

high tech, high touch
At Southside Dental Arts, advanced technology and personal attention work hand in hand. Dr. Baldree’s specialty training in prosthodontics and commitment to clinical excellence mean that many aspects of care are handled directly by the doctor — including procedures often delegated in larger, high-volume practices. This allows for a level of precision, consistency, and oversight that supports long-term success.
We also invest in proven technologies that enhance comfort, accuracy, and outcomes. These include CBCT imaging for detailed 3D evaluation during implant planning and complex restorative treatment, as well as digital scanning and CAD-CAM technology for precise, well-fitting restorations.
Because complex restorative dentistry requires exceptional detail and craftsmanship, we collaborate with highly skilled dental laboratory technicians — many of whom focus exclusively on advanced esthetic and restorative work. This careful coordination helps ensure results that are both functional and natural in appearance.
Every step of care is guided by the same principle reflected in the work of the hand: thoughtful planning, technical precision, and genuine care for the person behind the smile.
“Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.”
—Frank Lloyd Wright

Your First Visit
Your first visit is designed to be thorough, informative, and unhurried. This appointment allows Dr. Baldree to understand your concerns, evaluate your oral health, and begin developing a plan tailored to your needs.
Depending on your situation, the initial evaluation may include:
A comprehensive clinical examination
Radiographs (x-rays)
Diagnostic study models or digital intraoral scans
A diagnostic wax-up or digital mock-up
Clinical photographs
Following this visit, many patients return for a dedicated treatment conference. During this appointment, Dr. Baldree reviews findings, explains treatment options, and answers questions so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Because prosthodontic and restorative treatment is often highly individualized, careful planning is essential. Our team will help you understand the sequence of care, expected timelines, and financial arrangements so you can move forward comfortably and at a pace that works for you.
