Restorative dentistry focuses on restoring the function and appearance of teeth that are damaged, decayed, or missing. It includes treatments like fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, and more to help improve your oral health and smile.

If you have decayed, chipped, cracked, or missing teeth, or if you’re experiencing discomfort, you may need restorative dentistry. Your dentist will evaluate your oral health during a check-up and recommend the appropriate treatment options.

Dental implants are titanium posts placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They act as artificial tooth roots and provide a strong foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants help restore both the function and appearance of your smile.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown placed on the implant may need to be replaced after 10-15 years, but the implant itself is designed to be a permanent solution.

A crown is a full cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, while a filling is used to repair a tooth with a small cavity or minor decay. Crowns are generally used for more extensive damage, while fillings are ideal for smaller issues.

At our office, we use CEREC technology, which allows us to create and place custom crowns in just one visit. This innovative system saves you time and eliminates the need for multiple appointments. Traditionally, getting a crown involves two visits—one for preparing the tooth and taking impressions, and another for placing the permanent crown after it’s been created in a lab. With CEREC, we take digital impressions of your teeth, design your crown in 3D, and mill it right here in the office—all during your visit. This advanced technology ensures that your crown is made to the highest precision and fits perfectly, all without the hassle of temporary crowns or waiting for lab results. By offering this same-day service, we not only provide convenience but also help you avoid the need for a second visit. At our office, you can experience the latest in dental care while saving both time and effort. We’re proud to offer this cutting-edge technology to our patients, providing a fast, accurate, and comfortable solution to restore your smile.What is a dental bridge? A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It spans the gap left by missing teeth, using adjacent teeth as anchors to hold the replacement tooth in place.

Dental bridges can last 10-15 years with proper care. The longevity of a bridge depends on factors such as oral hygiene, the condition of the adjacent teeth, and the material used.

A root canal is a procedure used to save a tooth that has become infected or severely decayed. The infected pulp (nerve and blood vessels) is removed, and the tooth is sealed to prevent further infection.

Good oral hygiene is key to maintaining your restored teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and check-ups. If you have dental implants or crowns, avoid hard foods that could damage them.

Many restorative procedures are covered by dental insurance, though coverage can vary depending on the treatment and plan. Procedures like crowns, fillings, and implants may be partially covered, while others may be considered elective. Our team can help verify your benefits and work with you to ensure you receive the care you need.

Restorative dentistry can improve your smile’s appearance, restore function (such as chewing and speaking), prevent further dental issues, and boost your overall health and confidence.
