A Straight Shot West
Closer Than the Metroplex
Minden patients can reach comprehensive restorative care in well under an hour down I-20 rather than making a day of it in Dallas.

Dental Bridges & Crowns for Minden, LA
Webster Parish patients often assume serious restorative work means Dallas. Our Pines Road office is a straight 35 to 40 minutes west on I-20, where Dr. Judson Murray and Dr. Neil Patel handle crowns and bridges, with appointments grouped to account for the drive.
If you’re seeing the name Professional Denture Clinic, you’re in the right place.

You’ll find us at the same Pines Road office with the same phone number and the same denture craftsmanship, now with the full-mouth dental implants, meticulous planning, advanced technology, and IV sedation of Texas Sedation Dental & Implant Center. We’re here for patients who are tired of missing teeth, loose dentures, or failing teeth and feel like they have no good options left. Learn about the change →

Bridges and Implants
Compared by a Team That Does Both
Dr. Murray and Dr. Patel restore bridges, and Dr. Murray also places implants, so the comparison you get is grounded in doing both rather than favoring one.

About Crowns and Bridges for Minden Patients
A crown covers a tooth that can no longer take chewing force safely on its own, which usually means a crack, a filling that has outgrown the tooth, or a root canal. Done in time, it keeps a tooth that would otherwise be extracted. Done too late, after the crack has run into the root, there is often nothing left to save, which is why we would rather see a suspicious tooth early.
For Minden patients the drive is about 35 to 40 minutes west on I-20 to our Pines Road office in west Shreveport. Because the distance is real, we plan around it: grouping appointments, preparing several teeth in one sedated session where that is clinically sound, and handling seat-visit adjustments during the appointment rather than asking you to come back.
Bridges are the other half of this work, for teeth that are already gone. A traditional bridge uses the neighboring teeth for support and an implant-supported bridge does not. Dr. Judson Murray and Dr. Neil Patel restore both, the implants are placed right here at Pines Road, and your exam puts both approaches and both costs in front of you in writing.

FAQs
Common questions from Minden patients
About 35 to 40 minutes west on I-20 to 4354 Pines Rd in west Shreveport, a considerably shorter trip than Dallas for comprehensive restorative work.
It depends on the case and our schedule. Most patients start with an exam, then return for a prep visit and a seat visit. For Minden patients we group appointments where the case allows and can handle several teeth in one sedated session.
It depends how far the crack has traveled. If it has not reached the root, a crown often saves the tooth. That is why a tooth that hurts when you release a bite is worth checking sooner rather than later.
Dr. Judson Murray and Dr. Neil Patel handle restorative cases at the Pines Road office, and Billy Dudley, CDT, covers denture and partial work in the same building.
Yes. The cost comes in writing before treatment, and we work with CareCredit, LendingClub, Alphaeon Credit, Sunbit, and Cherry.
