Services
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns restore damaged teeth with custom-made, natural-looking restorations. These durable caps protect weakened teeth after root canals or extensive decay while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Patients benefit from improved functionality and longevity, with crowns designed to match surrounding teeth in color and shape. Our process includes precise digital impressions and same-day temporary placement.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth using titanium posts integrated into the jawbone. This option offers superior stability over dentures, preserving bone structure and facial contours. Success rates exceed 90%, with implant-supported restorations lasting decades when properly maintained through regular dental checkups.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy treats gum disease with minimally invasive precision, targeting infected tissue without surgical incisions. Benefits include faster healing, reduced bleeding, and lower infection risk. This technology also addresses tooth sensitivity and sleep apnea symptoms by reshaping soft palate tissue for improved breathing patterns.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers transform smiles by correcting discoloration, chips, and misalignment with ultra-thin ceramic shells. These stain-resistant restorations require minimal tooth preparation and provide dramatic aesthetic improvements. The two-visit process ensures precise customization for natural-looking results that enhance facial symmetry.
6 Month Smiles
6 Month Smiles offers accelerated cosmetic orthodontics for adults seeking quick alignment improvements. Clear brackets and tooth-colored wires straighten front teeth in half the time of traditional braces. This system focuses on visible smile zones rather than full bite correction, achieving results in 4-9 months.

I recently started coming to Riverwalk Dentistry as a new patient and Dr. Kats has been so thorough, knowledgeable, and personable! Shelby has also been great and frequently checks in to make sure I'm doing okay when I'm in the chair. Maureen and Jocelyn at the front desk have also been wonderful, as well as the new guy (I'm sorry I don't know his name but he's great!) The service has been great and the people are even better, 10/10 recommend!

Best dentistry around. I've never had such a great experience from the front desk / prepping for my first appointment to the cleaning to the dentist consult. Dr. Kats, Shelby, and Chrystal were all super informative and I love the holistic / well-rounded approach they use here. (They looked at my face muscles and asked about my breathing and sleep which I've never been asked about at a dentist's office.) Would definitely recommend this group to anyone!

I would leave 10 stars if I could. I started going to Riverwalk Dentistry a year and a half ago after Dr. Lueck was referred to me. Every interaction has been outstanding! I've been there for a crown, filling, cleaning, exam, and soon, the final step in what has been a lengthy journey to a dental implant. The entire staff regularly go above and beyond to help meet the needs of their patients with scheduling, billing, and providing dental care you can trust. They take pride in their work and it shows. Highly recommend!

Had my "usual" semiannual cleaning with Kimberly today. She is an "awesome" hygienist. Very professional, knowledgeable and thorough with the entire process. I don't normally "rave" about a routine cleaning; but the service, attentiveness and genuine interest demonstrated by Kimberly was worth noting publicly. Great job Kimberly and Riverwalk! See you in 6 months!

Dr. Lueck and her team are absolutely phenomenal. Their professionalism and care are only outmatched by their skill and expertise. After not feeling confident in my smile for 44 years, I now love it! I'm so grateful to have them right downtown.
