About Taylor Street Dental

Same-day crowns changed what a single appointment can accomplish. The prepared tooth is scanned rather than packed with impression putty, the restoration is designed on screen, and a milling unit cuts it from a ceramic block while you wait. Taylor Street Dental runs that workflow, along with dental lasers and a 3D printer, from the fourth floor at 41 Taylor Street, a block off Main in Springfield's Metro Center. Allow a minute for the lift if you are cutting it fine.

The question most people carry through the door is whether to keep restoring a tooth or start planning its replacement. A cracked molar that has already been filled twice can often be saved with a crown that caps and holds the remaining structure together. Once the crack runs below the gumline or the root itself fractures, the arithmetic flips and extraction with an implant or bridge becomes the durable answer. That call deserves an honest second look at the radiograph, because the cheaper option this month is not always the cheaper option across ten years.

Four dentists work here: David Peck, Elwira Tyra, Stephen Greenberg and Hien Truong. Beyond restorative work the practice covers preventive care and oral cancer screening, gum disease treatment through scaling and root planing, laser therapy and Perio Protect trays, implants, bridges and dentures, full mouth reconstruction, veneers, whitening, laser gum recontouring, SureSmile clear aligners, appliances for TMJ pain and grinding, and wisdom tooth removal.

Gum treatment is the part of that list worth explaining, because it usually decides how long the rest lasts. Scaling and root planing is done quadrant by quadrant under local anaesthetic, lifting hardened deposit away from the parts of each root that sit beneath the gum margin, where no toothbrush has ever reached. Perio Protect uses sealed trays to hold medication against the pocket between visits, which is an adjunct to that cleaning rather than a replacement for it. Neither regrows bone that has already gone. What they can do is halt the loss, and that is the difference between keeping a tooth another twenty years and budgeting for an implant.

Scheduling is the quiet advantage. Monday opens at 7:30 in the morning; Tuesday and Thursday run until eight at night, which is genuinely useful if you work downtown or commute out toward Hartford. Wednesday closes at six, Thursday does not start until midday, and no Friday or weekend hours are listed. A broken tooth or a sudden ache gets a slot within the same working day rather than a place in next week's queue, dental insurance is taken, and Cherry financing covers whatever balance is left once the plan has paid its share.

Taylor Street Dental works from the fourth floor at 41 Taylor Street in Springfield's Metro Center, with four dentists and an in-house CEREC mill that produces crowns in a single visit. The range covers preventive care, laser and Perio Protect gum therapy, implants, bridges, dentures, full mouth reconstruction, veneers, SureSmile clear aligners and TMJ appliances. Monday starts at 7:30 a.m. and Tuesday and Thursday run to 8 p.m., with same-day emergency care and Cherry financing available.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a same-day crown appointment actually like here?
Plan on one long visit rather than two short ones. The tooth is prepared and scanned, then there is a wait while the mill cuts the ceramic, and you spend most of that stretch in the chair with the numbness slowly wearing off. The crown is tried in, adjusted against your bite and bonded before you leave. Bring something to read. Some front-tooth cases still go to an outside laboratory, where layered porcelain gives a better colour match.
Can I get an early morning or evening appointment?
Yes, on specific days. Mondays begin at 7:30 in the morning, Tuesdays run through to eight at night, and Thursdays start at midday and also run to eight. Wednesday closes at six, and no Friday or weekend hours are listed. The evening slots are the ones that fill first, so if your schedule only allows after-work visits, book several appointments ahead rather than one at a time.
What does laser treatment add to gum disease therapy?
It is used alongside scaling and root planing, not instead of it. Instruments remove the hardened deposit from the root surface below the gumline; the laser is then used to disinfect the pocket and clear diseased lining tissue. The evidence supports it as a useful adjunct rather than a substitute for that mechanical cleaning or for what you do at home. Neither regrows bone that has already been lost.

The staff at Taylor Street Dental are so welcoming and kind that I felt like I had been a patient of their office for years, even during my first visit. My teeth whitening appointment exceeded my expectations—it was painless, efficient, and completed in a timely manner. Melanie, the assistant who performed the procedure, was excellent and demonstrated both professionalism and skill throughout the experience. I highly recommend Taylor Street Dental and look forward to returning!

I cannot say enough good things about this dentistry. I’ve been to 4 visits now, every time the office girls are always nice, upbeat and smiling. The dentist and assistants are phenomenal. (Making sure you are comfortable the entire time) The equipment is Top Notch with the newest technology. You can tell they take extreme pride in there work quality and it shows. If I could leave more than 5 stars I would!

I’ve been a patient at Taylor Street Dental for over five years, and I came here after having really awful experiences elsewhere. I can’t recommend this office enough. Most recently I had a crown replaced and another put in, and Dr. Tyra and Alicia were so kind, patient and professional. Dr. Tyra made sure I knew what they were doing every step, answered all my questions and helped me be comfortable. My hygienist, Angie, is the coolest and I actually do not dread going to my cleanings. Thank you to everyone there.
