About Makeover Dental

A prosthodontist spends several years after dental school on a single problem: what to do when teeth are missing, broken down, or worn to the point that another filling will not hold. Makeover Dental is led by Dr. Jorge Mosquera, D.D.S., who works in that specialty, and it shapes the kind of case that arrives here — a mouth patched repeatedly over twenty years, a partial denture that has stopped seating properly, an arch that has to be planned as a whole rather than one tooth at a time.

Alongside implants and full mouth reconstruction, the office provides complete and partial dentures, its Teeth in Just One Day protocol, IV sedation, routine cleanings and general dentistry, and Botox and dermal fillers. The stated philosophy is conservative treatment aimed at reaching your goals with as little intervention as the case allows. In practice that should mean a first appointment spent mapping options — repair against replacement, one arch against two — before anything irreversible happens.

Sedation matters more here than at a checkup practice. IV sedation is the difference between splitting a long surgical day across several appointments and getting through it once, and it is given on site rather than referred elsewhere. If dental anxiety is the reason treatment has been postponed for years, say so at the consultation; it genuinely changes how the plan is built and how appointments are staged.

Full mouth reconstruction is also not simply a lot of crowns done at once. Years of wear shorten teeth and the jaw closes further than it once did, so rebuilding an arch means deciding how tall the new teeth should be and then testing that decision before it is made permanent. Cases of that kind usually run through a provisional set first, worn for weeks while you eat, speak and sleep with the new bite. It is the slow part of the process and the part most worth not rushing.

The office sits at 687 East Linton Avenue in the 62703 corridor on Springfield's southeast side, among office and healthcare tenants rather than in a retail strip — simple parking, easy from Dirksen Parkway and the south end, a longer run from the far west side. Spanish is spoken here. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, with no weekend cover, so a case needing several long surgical visits will take weekday time whichever way it is scheduled.

Makeover Dental is a prosthodontist-led practice on East Linton Avenue in Springfield's 62703 business corridor, where Dr. Jorge Mosquera concentrates on dental implants, dentures, full mouth reconstruction and the Teeth in Just One Day protocol. IV sedation is available on site, which matters for long surgical appointments and for patients who have delayed treatment through anxiety. Spanish is spoken. Hours run 9 to 5 on weekdays with no weekend cover.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a prosthodontist do that a general dentist does not?
Prosthodontics is the specialty focused on replacing and restoring teeth — implants, crowns, bridges, dentures and full mouth reconstruction — with several years of training beyond dental school. Dr. Jorge Mosquera leads this practice. For a single filling the distinction rarely matters. For a full arch, a failing set of old crowns, or a bite that has collapsed over years of wear, that extra planning training is usually why people are referred.
Is Teeth in Just One Day really finished in one day?
The surgery and a fixed provisional set of teeth happen on the same day, so you do not leave without teeth. The definitive arch comes later, once the implants have integrated with bone and the tissue has settled, which usually takes several months. Ask which stage a quote covers, because a price for the provisional phase alone will look very different from one that includes the final bridge.
Can I be sedated for treatment here?
IV sedation is available at this office, which allows longer surgical appointments to be combined instead of split across several visits. You will need someone to drive you home and a light schedule for the rest of the day. Tell the team at the consultation if anxiety is the reason treatment has been postponed, since it changes how the plan is staged. Spanish is spoken if that conversation is easier in Spanish.

I have personally had some terrible experiences when it came to any kind of dental work. So much so that I have terrible anxiety around it. I have cried at the thought of having to go. I say all that because at Makeover none of that has occurred since my very first visit with them. The whole team has been nothing but kind and caring throughout every experience. They didn't brush off my anxiety or fears, they worked with me to make me as comfortable as possible. They checked in with me after procedures. They helped me through the financing struggle so I was able to get the implants I had been wanting for years. I have a smile I'm now very proud of. I don't think I can put into words how truly greatful I feel towards the whole Makeover Dental team.

I had a tooth removal and crown completed at MakeOver dental and my experience was absolutely amazing from the moment I called to make my appointment to the moment all of the work was completed! Every person I came in contact with from the receptionist, assistant, dentist, financial assistant, etc. They made me feel like family and their hospitality was amazing. We live in a world where moments like this in a business is very rare. I would recommend them to anyone and I have found a permanent dental team that I can trust.

I'm so glad I found Dr Mosquera after moving to Springfield a little over a year ago! He is friendly and professional and all of the staff are honestly so sweet. There is also a really positive environment here and you can tell that both the clinical and non clinical staff are treated well and talk about loving it there. They're patient with my kids as well, which I really appreciate. Dr Mosquera helped my husband with a few extractions that were necessary due to poor work that was done in 2022. He was very respectful and honest with my husband about his options and I appreciate him giving us the more sensible option long term. The xray machine is too small for children, so that is important to be aware of if you're looking for a dentist for a child with more issues than most. My family and I will be going here as long as we live in Springfield. :)

I had my wisdom tooth extracted here and was super nervous going in, but the entire team made me feel so comfortable. They were able to get me in the same day for an appointment and even offered to do the extraction that day, but scheduled it a few days later at my request. The environment is friendly and has a welcoming, family-like vibe. Communication during the procedure was amazing, and the technique was excellent. They also helped me with financing options, which made the process so much less stressful. I highly recommend!

Had a great experience at Makeover Dental for my Son single tooth extraction. The staff was super friendly and made him feel comfortable the whole time. The dentist was gentle and explained everything clearly. The extraction went smoothly, and he felt well taken care of. Definitely recommend!
