Dr. Schelkopf is a board-certified specialist in aesthetic and reconstructive dentistry. Dual-trained as a surgical and prosthetic specialist, his extensive training and experience lays the foundation for an unmatched ability to ideally manage cases of any complexity. It is his vision and natural style in aesthetics, though, that truly sets his work apart, allowing his patients’ results that look natural, elegant, and life-like. Personally hand-designing and clinically managing every case, he has delivered thousands of aesthetic and reconstructive cases, helping patients achieve life-changing results from all over the United States and the world.
A seamless three-step journey, designed for patients traveling in from across the country and around the world. Most aesthetic cases are completed in just two visits, a few weeks apart.
A virtual consultation to meet, understand your vision, and discuss the path forward. When you’re ready, we schedule your first visit and Dr. Schelkopf personally designs your case by hand.
Travel in for a single morning. Records, preparations, impressions, and temporaries — all completed in a couple of hours. You wear the temporaries home and live with the design while the finals are crafted alongside our exclusive ceramist.
Three weeks later, return for one appointment. Almost every case is delivered on the first try-in — temporaries off, finals bonded, done. A smile that looks like you, only the way you always wished it could be.
All of our care centers around 3 concepts, each important on their own — but it is the intertwining of their relationships that allows for results that are beautiful, healthy, and built to last.
A beautiful result is not just white teeth, but rather a smile that is in balanced harmony with the overall facial aesthetic. As you may notice, Dr. Schelkopf personally designs each case to embody an elegance that mimics the beauty of nature in its life-like colors, soft forms, and subtle contours, ensuring a result that looks lifelike and fits the patient seamlessly.
Dr. Schelkopf’s philosophy of care is rooted in a conservative approach that benefits the patient’s dental and overall health. As you can observe in our results, our treatment supports a healthy coexistence with the patient’s natural structures, promoting a hygienic and long-term successful outcome.
Successful outcomes are founded on a comprehensive understanding of functional relationships, principles of design, and material properties to marry aesthetic beauty with strength and biologic compatibility. Every decision we make throughout a case, from planning and design to the clinical care and final prosthetics, is prescriptive and intentional, ensuring a long-lasting, successful result.
Imagine being out with your friends or colleagues and never feeling self-conscious about your teeth or your smile. Imagine taking a selfie or a picture with your loved ones and the moment is captured perfectly, because your unbridled smile just says it all.
That’s the life we look forward to for you.
A specialty clinic for patients, an academy for fellow clinicians, and a prosthetics studio for the laboratory craft — three pillars, one philosophy, one unified vision.
We marry the highest-quality clinical care with the finest naturally-beautiful aesthetics. Whether your case involves aesthetic improvements, implant dentistry, or reconstructive care, you’ll quickly understand why so many put their trust and smile in the hands of Dr. Schelkopf. Your smile is one of your most important features, make it also your favorite feature.
