Inside Bend Prosthodontics
Bend Prosthodontics is a specialist practice for people whose dental needs go beyond routine care: full-arch implants, veneers and complete rebuilds, planned by Dr. Kimberly Schlam and delivered in a space that feels nothing like a dental office.
Three things we do better than almost anyone.
Every case is planned by a prosthodontist, so function, comfort and appearance are designed together from day one.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
For worn, broken or collapsed bites: rebuilding every tooth to restore height, function and a smile that fits your face.
Rebuild the whole picture
Veneers
Ultra-thin porcelain designed around your face, previewed in your mouth before anything is final, and finished by hand.
Love your smile again
Full Arch Dental Implants
All-on-4 / All-on-X. When teeth can't be saved, a fixed, natural-looking smile you can eat and live with again, designed by a prosthodontist with a specialist surgical team.
Eat. Smile. Live again.Also: single implants, crowns and bridges, dentures and partials, bonding and whitening. See all services
Four things a mouth has to do: breathe, eat, speak, smile. We restore all of them.
We plan around your whole system: jaw and tooth position, nasal breathing and airway, so your rehabilitation supports your systemic health.
Bites rebuilt for real food: steak, apples, corn on the cob, without thinking about it.
Teeth positioned so words come out clearly and confidently, in meetings and on the phone.
A smile that looks like you, not like dental work, in photos, on first dates, at the kitchen table.
Digital impressions
Intraoral scanning replaces goopy trays: faster, more comfortable, more accurate.
3D CBCT imaging
A cone-beam CT scan shows bone, nerves and sinuses in three dimensions before we plan a single implant.
Guided implant surgery
Straumann digital planning and printed surgical guides put every implant exactly where it was designed to go.
Digital smile design
Your new smile is designed on screen, around your face, and previewed in your mouth before it's final.
In - House lab
Immediate smile makeovers, facilitated by 3D printing right here in our lab.
Comfort, built in
Sedation options, warm blankets, noise-canceling headphones and views of the trees from every chair.
Dr. Schlam's clinical focus is using digital technology to improve techniques, communication and the patient experience. The studio is built around that.
Tour the officeWhy see a prosthodontist?
In medicine, a general medical provider doesn’t perform a hip implant; you’re referred to a specialist. Dentistry works the same way. A prosthodontist has additional years of training in implants, implanted devices and restoring teeth, for care that is complex, cosmetic or involves several parts of the mouth at once.
Three more years of specialty training
After dental school, focused entirely on implants, crowns, dentures, esthetics and complex rehabilitation.
Whole-mouth treatment planning
Comprehensive plans for cases involving multiple teeth, implants, the bite or appearance, not isolated fixes.
Function and beauty, together
Care designed around how your teeth look, meet, support your bite and help you eat, speak and smile comfortably.
Collaborative care
Coordinated with your general dentist, specialists, hygienists and labs, so options and timelines stay clear.
“I realized I can impact not just the physical teeth, but totally change someone’s life. That’s where I fit myself into dentistry.”
Dr. Kimberly Schlam was an artist first. She grew up creating with her hands and loved graphic and fashion design, then discovered a gift for science. Prosthodontics is where the two meet. She takes time to understand each patient's history, goals and comfort level before recommending a path forward, and she stays with the case from the first conversation to the final result.

In their own words.
“These are my teeth. They’re mine. I feel amazing, to not be in pain anymore, to have teeth again.”
Nichole · Full-arch implants“Before, I’d hide my teeth in pictures. I don’t have that feeling anymore. I’m super happy to smile and show them off.”
Jordan · Implant + veneers“It’s definitely changed my life for the better. I don’t live with pain anymore. I don’t live with insecurity about my teeth anymore.”
Paige · Full-arch implantsPatients describe us as comfortable, kind and life-changing.
“Precision quality work that is second to none. I lost many top teeth from an accident and spent years with permanent bridges. I did a full upper replacement with Dr. Schlam using implants and couldn't be happier. This is life changing and they look great.”
“Dr. Schlam was a dream to work with. Lovely bedside manner, incredibly professional and kind. Her office is stylish and comfortable and their technology is cutting edge. She worked patiently with my young adult daughter giving her a beautiful new smile!”
“Every single person involved in this practice is exceptional, kind, caring and very, very skilled. I felt so well cared for from the moment I first hit the door. I truly appreciate the staff and am so relieved I found this place.”
