My Dentist Couldn't Fix It.
You have been back two, three, maybe four times for the same problem. Dr. Allison House specializes in the complex cases that need a deeper level of diagnosis to finally resolve.
You have been back two, three, maybe four times for the same problem. Dr. Allison House specializes in the complex cases that need a deeper level of diagnosis to finally resolve.
When the same problem keeps coming back, the issue is rarely the tooth you are focused on. It is usually something deeper in the system that has not been named yet. It can show up in a wide range of ways, including these.
If any of these sound familiar, Dr. House can help you find what others may not have had time to uncover.
When dental work fails once, it can be a setback. When it fails repeatedly, it is almost always a sign that something underneath has never been diagnosed. The restoration is the symptom. The environment around it is the cause.
At House Dental in Arcadia, Phoenix, Dr. Allison House evaluates the complete picture before she recommends anything. She has spent 24 years building a practice around patients who have been everywhere and still do not have an answer.
Conventional care often focuses on symptom control. Our approach identifies and addresses the underlying biological patterns driving the condition.
Many problems that keep recurring were never fully diagnosed the first time. Thirty-minute appointments rarely allow for cone beam imaging, full bite analysis, and a deep health history. The data gap leaves the real cause hidden.
A tooth hurts, so it gets a filling. The filling breaks, so it gets a crown. The crown fails, so it gets pulled. Each step addresses what is visible. None of them investigate why the chain started.
When the teeth do not meet evenly, one area absorbs more force than the rest. Fillings, crowns, and veneers placed into that environment fail on a predictable schedule.
Tooth loss, grinding, and aging can move the jaw into a position that stresses everything downstream. The teeth are the symptom. The joint and the muscles are the source.
Dry mouth, bone density changes, and healing delays from common medications quietly change the environment in the mouth. Work that should hold starts failing because the conditions have changed.
The forces produced during sleep are far higher than daytime chewing. When grinding is not identified or protected, every restoration is at risk.
A compromised airway can cause the jaw to push forward at night, creating clenching patterns that break restorations and wear teeth. The dental failure is the end of a story that started in the bedroom.
When several providers treat pieces of the mouth without a central plan, restorations work against each other instead of with each other. The coordination gap becomes the failure.
The problem is rarely mysterious. It is usually hiding in the places no one has taken the time to look.
Your first visit is not a quick look and a new treatment plan. It is two hours of data collection. Cone beam CT imaging, full-series X-rays, digital scans, photographs, and a detailed conversation about your medical history, medications, sleep, and symptoms. Nothing is assumed.
Dr. House studies the data before she recommends anything. She evaluates your bite, your jaw position, the condition of every tooth, and how your overall health may be affecting your mouth. She connects dots that other providers may not have had time to uncover.
When she presents a plan, you understand the why, not just the what. Why the crown failed. Why the filling keeps breaking. Why this problem has followed you from dentist to dentist. Only after the cause is clear does treatment begin, and every step supports the next.
Every plan is individualized. These are the services most often paired with a diagnostic workup for patients whose previous work has failed.
When jaw position and bite alignment are the hidden cause behind restorations that keep failing, TMJ treatment stabilizes the foundation first.
When years of patchwork dental work need to be rebuilt as a coordinated system, a full reconstruction creates a stable environment where new work can last.
When missing teeth have driven shifting and cascading failures, well-planned implants restore the foundation the rest of the mouth depends on.
If your question is not here, call us. We would rather talk it through than sell you on a visit.
When crowns, fillings, or other restorations fail repeatedly, the issue is rarely the restoration itself. It is usually the bite, the jaw position, or shifted teeth around it. Until the root cause is identified, replacements keep failing for the same reason.
If the same problem has been treated multiple times without a lasting result, a deeper evaluation can often uncover what previous exams did not have time to find. Dr. House's two-hour first visit is designed for exactly this situation.
Yes. Many dental problems have nothing to do with hygiene. Bite, jaw, grinding, medications, and overall health all drive dental failures. Excellent brushing does not protect against an incomplete diagnosis.
Most dental practices are structured around 30- to 45-minute appointments. House Dental starts with a two-hour diagnostic visit because the problems Dr. House treats require more data and more time. She looks at teeth, jaw, bite, medical history, medications, sleep, and diet before recommending anything.
House Dental accepts CIGNA and Aetna. Coverage varies by plan. Financing is available through CareCredit and Proceed Finance, and the team will help you understand your options at your first visit.
A two-hour first visit gives Dr. House enough time to collect the data, identify the cause, and build a plan that ends the cycle of repeat work. No rushed exam. No guessing.
