Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts that integrate with jawbone tissue. Our specialists place implants to support individual crowns, bridges, or dentures. This treatment prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure while offering natural chewing functionality. Patients benefit from improved speech, comfort, and confidence compared to traditional removable prosthetics.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using custom-made, removable clear aligners. Patients receive new aligner trays every two weeks to gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. This system corrects bite issues and crowded teeth without traditional metal brackets. Benefits include easier oral hygiene maintenance and unrestricted dietary choices during treatment.
Laser Periodontal Therapy
Laser-assisted periodontal therapy treats gum disease using precise light energy to remove infected tissue. This minimally invasive approach preserves healthy gum structure while eliminating bacteria. Patients experience faster healing and reduced sensitivity compared to traditional scaling and root planing procedures. The treatment helps prevent tooth loss from advanced periodontal disease.
CEREC Crowns
CEREC technology creates custom ceramic crowns in a single appointment using digital impressions and in-office milling. Patients avoid multiple visits and temporary crowns while receiving durable, natural-looking restorations. The process preserves more healthy tooth structure through precise bonding techniques that strengthen treated teeth.
Oral Cancer Screening
Our comprehensive oral cancer screenings use advanced diagnostic tools to detect abnormalities in mouth tissues. Early detection significantly improves treatment success rates for oral cancer. The non-invasive examination checks lips, tongue, throat, and gum areas for suspicious lesions. Patients receive immediate results and specialist referrals when needed.

Report
I am happy to write this review about Pillar Dental. They are absolutely wonderful. I broke a tooth on my bridge (I am a young grandma) which was very disappointing. I needed a dentist in Sioux Falls so I found great reviews about them and called for help. They saw me the next day to see the damage and set up a treatment plan for me. Getting a new bridge always takes time so I was prepared for a long wait. Pillar sent my order to a lab with a shorter turn around time so my wait was not so long.
I believe it was a lab different from their usual one. They made me a temporary tooth -of course I was leaving town on vacation-to help until my permanent bridge arrived. Everything has gone on schedule and I am so happy with the outcome and thankful that I found Dr. Palmer and her crew. I highly recommend them!

Best dentist I've been to. Both Dr. Pillar and Dr. Palmer are very experienced and provide really good state of the art care. Their new facility is very clean, nice, and welcoming. All the staff are nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend.

I broke a back tooth (literally in half) with a portion of it below the gum line. I was nervous as to what could be done to repair and hopefully save the tooth. Dr Anne Pillar at Pillar Dental added my case to an already full day of patients. Dr Pillar and her staff saved the tooth, and (with equipment in her office) made a permanent Crown and completed the procedure in one sitting. Dr Pillar and her staff seem to be ahead of the industry with the latest training, equipment and procedures. They are confident, efficient and professional. Many thanks for the excellent care.
