Today we remember , 2001.

We remember the firefighters who climbed those stairs. The police officers who ran toward the chaos. The civilians who stopped to help strangers. The passengers who realized what was happening and chose to fight back.

We remember the phone calls home. The calls to husbands, wives, parents, and children to say, “I love you” one last time.

We remember watching it happen. We remember the silence. We remember crying with people we had never met and feeling completely destroyed by what we were seeing.

And we remember what came after — people showing up for each other, flags hanging from porches, strangers becoming neighbors, and a country that, for a moment, felt a little closer.

Twenty-five years later, we still remember the lives lost, the bravery shown, and the families who have carried that day with them ever since.

We will never forget.

HOLY COW! 🐮 We’re always impressed by the effort and work these kids put into 4H. It's truly building hard working future leaders. So when we met this impressive, well spoken, and outgoing young 8th grader at the fair livestock auction we knew we wanted to bid on her beautiful cow Maverick. Well done young lady. We're happy to be a very small contributor to your story.

Some before-and-afters make you stop because the transformation is dramatic. Others make you stop because you can see something even more important come back: confidence.

Dr. Sarah Fontana completed this case with a new 3D-printed denture, using modern digital technology to create a restoration designed for improved fit, function, and a natural-looking smile.

3D-printed dentures allow us to use a highly precise digital workflow, helping us recreate the shape, position, and details of a patient’s smile while giving them a strong, comfortable restoration made specifically for them.

And while the clinical details matter, what we love love most is.. Being able to eat, talk, laugh, take a family photo, or simply smile at someone without immediately thinking about your teeth can mean so much more than a “before and after” photo could ever show.

Sometimes the biggest transformation isn’t in the teeth. It’s seeing someone look like themselves again—and watching the confidence return to their smile.

Beautiful work by Dr. Sarah Fontana.

3D printed restorations? Yup, that's a thing. Here's a real world, non glamour case. A routine filling was planned but a lost cusp made us rethink our plan. A crown was a bit aggressive so we agreed on a ceramic based 3D printed partial coverage (think stronger than filling but more conservative than a crown). 30 minutes later were bonding this in.
This is a great example of technology being applied that allows for more conservative tooth reduction and even cost savings. The mediocre picture goes to show this is an everyday application in a real life setting. (Its the lower non yellow tooth by the way)

Funny, just after saying I don't regularly do dentures I find myself swamped with..... you guessed it, digital DENTURES! This was a quick set we did basically digitally copying a patients old set with a little refresh. After digging into the design, i wished we were starting from scratch as i would have changed the bite some which would have allowed me to alter the gingival architecture more.
Given the time I end up putting into these cases (often weekend hours), I think I'm maxed out on denture cases for a bit 😵‍💫.

There is something beautiful about a smile that looks refreshed—not overdone.

For this transformation, Dr. Sarah Fontana replaced the patient’s older anterior crowns and bridgework with restorations designed to feel softer, brighter, and more naturally balanced. Careful attention was given to the shape, shade, proportions, and delicate contours of each tooth so the final result would complement her features rather than overpower them.

The difference is subtle in all the right ways: improved symmetry, a more luminous color, and a smile that feels polished, feminine, and completely her own.

Beautiful dentistry is not about creating the same smile for every patient. It is about creating the right smile for the woman wearing it.

A personalized consultation is required to determine the most appropriate treatment for each patient. To schedule an appointment today, call or text us now! (406) 752-1166

That treatment plan you had to put on hold may be more manageable than you think.

We are excited to offer Cherry payment plans, giving qualifying patients another way to move forward with the dental care they need without paying the full cost upfront.

Eligible out-of-pocket treatment costs of up to $50,000 may be divided into smaller payments. This can include crowns, dental implants, Invisalign, dentures, cosmetic dentistry, and more comprehensive care.

Finances should not be the reason you continue living with discomfort, delay necessary treatment, or feel less confident in your smile. If cost kept you from moving forward before, now may be the right time to revisit your treatment plan.

Checking your options is quick, does not require a hard credit check, and allows you to view available payment plans before committing.

Use our calculator to see what your estimated payments could look like: 👉 www.montanadentalworks.com/dental-financing-cherry

Financing is subject to approval. Rates and terms vary based on eligibility and treatment cost. Learn more about Cherry Financing today. https://www.montanadentalworks.com/post/cherry-dental-financing-kalispell

As a follow up to our last post discussing retention of the denture, Id like to show the natural appearance that can be achieved with digital/ 3D printing. The upper is the denture and I just love having control of the tooth shape and gum contours 3D printing allows. Im a sucker for good gum festooning and im always so annoyed that every denture I see walk in the door looks like it came off the Walmart shelf.
And again, we roll as a team: Dr Fontana came to the rescue and Anna knocked the finishing out of the park.

07/13/2026

I don't do a lot of dentures, mainly due to time restraints, but a great patient asked if I would make him a new denture. He wanted a "digital denture" as he had heard about them. This is a complete discussion of its own, but in a nutshell, digital offers some advantages and some unique challenges; good solid retention being one of the more difficult things to attain when going full digital.

It was a bit of a team effort: Fortunately, we’ve done some advanced training on this topic and Dr. Fontana dedicated some weekend design time and a bit of computer wizardry (I may or may not have been galavanting on a motorcycle trip 🤫), and our extremely talented assistant Anna finished the processing and colors.

THIS WAS SCANNED, DESIGNED, 3D PRINTED AND FINISHED IN HOUSE!!

In a time where we get so focused on "fancy" things like full arch implants and what not, getting a nice result on what may seem like a seemingly simple thing like a denture is extremely rewarding!

We are so thankful for our trusting patients and our amazing team, it allows us to make things like this happen!

Happy !! 🎇

Today is the day Americans look at fireworks, coolers, bottle caps, corn on the cob, and questionable backyard ideas and say…

“Hold my beer.”

As your dental team, we are begging you: please do not open anything with your teeth, light anything from your mouth, bite down on mystery objects, or turn your smile into part of the entertainment.

But if freedom rings a little too hard this weekend… call us Monday.

We’ll fix the tooth.
You bring the story.
