- Nadine Stark, 5 out of 5 stars, a month ago: This was my first appointment and I was made comfortable quickly by the tech that welcomed me. She listened and was very attentive. When the doctor came in, I was treated with respect and understanding. I was impressed by the front desk as well and the cleanliness of the entire building. I am hopeful I will have a long term relationship here because finding a good dentist is very important.
- Cathe Caraway, 5 out of 5 stars, 2 months ago: Dr. Lorton and the whole staff were excellent. I'd had a crown come off one of my teeth. I was able to get in very quickly. They took great care of me. It was totally painless. The front desk staff even solved an issue with my coverage. It was handled in a few minutes and I was out of there. And was even really affordable. I made an appointment for a cleaning. I'll see them again soon.
- Kathy Visnosky, 5 out of 5 stars, 5 months ago: The dentist that took over for my dentist while she's in leave took really care of me. The staff are really friendly and they make you feel at ease. It"s a great please to go to and there very caring. Very clean.

Our own dental labs
Your crown comes from our own labs
Made here, adjusted here.
The Cleveland Dental Management family runs its own dental labs: crowns and bridges are built in Ravenna, and dentures and partials in Akron, by technicians who work only with our dentists. That means a better fit and faster turnarounds, made between your visits.
Made by our own technicians
Skilled hands who work only with our dentists, so your restoration is built to match your bite and your smile.
Faster turnarounds
No waiting on an outside lab means fewer trips back and forth and a quicker finish.
Fixed close to home
If something ever needs an adjustment, it is handled by our own labs, not put in the mail.
Step 1
Scan
We capture your tooth in detail, so the fit is right from the start.
Step 2
Craft
Our own technicians shape and finish your restoration by hand.
Step 3
Fit
You return for a fit that is checked and adjusted, right here.
What waiting costs you
Small things stay small when they are seen early.
- A cleaning every six months keeps small problems small.
- Gums that are not healthy get seen every three or four months until they are.
- A root canal ends the pain and saves the tooth instead of pulling it.
- Cost should never be the reason care waits. Payment plans are there when you need them.
Your first visit is one call away.

What patients ask us

You can definitely be seen with same day emergency care and walks-ins are welcome.

The brand of the toothbrush is not as critical as the type of bristle and the size of the head. A soft toothbrush with a small head is recommended because medium and hard brushes tend to cause irritation and contribute to recession of the gums, and a small head allows you to get around each tooth more completely and is less likely to injure your gums. It’s unnecessary to “scrub” the teeth as long as you are brushing at least twice a day and visiting your dentist at least twice a year for cleanings.
