Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent, natural-looking replacements for missing teeth. Using titanium posts fused with jawbone tissue, this solution restores chewing function and prevents bone loss. Our practice employs advanced 3D imaging to ensure precise placement and long-term success, with over 95% patient satisfaction rates in clinical outcomes.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-crafted porcelain veneers address discoloration, chips, and misalignment while maintaining tooth structure. This minimally invasive procedure transforms smiles in just two visits. Our veneers resist staining better than natural enamel and can last 10-15 years with proper care, backed by our 100% patient satisfaction guarantee.
Sedation Dentistry
Our oral sedation options help patients overcome dental fear without needles or IV lines. This safe, effective method benefits those with sensitive gag reflexes or complex treatment needs. Over 80% of anxious patients report complete comfort during procedures, with most having no memory of treatment afterward.
Laser Dentistry
Diode laser technology enables precise gum disease treatment with minimal discomfort. This method reduces bleeding by 70% compared to traditional surgery while accelerating healing. Our hygienists hold advanced certifications in laser applications, ensuring optimal periodontal health outcomes for patients.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation
This multi-phase treatment addresses severe dental wear and aging effects through coordinated restorations. Combining implants, crowns, and veneers, we restore facial structure and bite function in two visits. Patients experience 90% improvement in facial aesthetics and speech clarity post-treatment.

Worst Dentist. I spent $27,000 with him. It truly was the worst experience ever when they had to literally cut the temporary crowns out of my mouth. It was painful and a horrible experience. The teeth under my beautiful crowns started decaying and breaking after 2 years. When I went to see what could be done it was going to be another $17,000. I feel like the teeth were not prepped correctly for the crowns. They are all about the money. Needless to say, I would not recommend him at all. I cringe every time the commercial comes on the radio!

I have been trying to find an excellent dentist for over 25 years. I have been too at least 5 other dentists, only 1 was not in Odessa. Dr Rutherford and his staff were professional and compassionate. Dr Rutherford s staff explained everything to me and didn't mind my asking questions and were not stoke and robotic. I was concerned about cost of course, not in my network, but the knowledge and credentials are well worth it. Dr Rutherford was thorough and caught things my regular dentist never mentioned. I thought I was getting preventative care all this time with my dentist, whom I have been going too for years. I came to Dr Rutherford for a second opinion and am so thankful I did.
