What Is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry can return your teeth to a fully functioning state by replacing or repairing missing or damaged teeth. Using procedures like fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants, our skilled dentists can help you regain your confidence and ability to chew.
Benefits of Restorative Dentistry
Procedures Offered
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings are a safe plastic resin that blends in with the natural tooth surface. They provide an attractive appearance and strengthen your teeth. Composite fillings are free of mercury, unlike traditional metal amalgam fillings. They provide a seamless look and also strengthen the teeth. Learn more about fillings
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are useful when the tooth has lost too much structure for a filling but not enough to consider a crown. They cover the damaged tooth's chewing surface, restoring its appearance and function. Learn more about inlays and onlays
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a porcelain or metal cap that fits over a prepared natural tooth. Crowns can restore the structure and chewing ability of a damaged or heavily decayed tooth. They also protect teeth that have had root canals. Learn more about dental crowns
Dental Bridges
A bridge can replace up to three to four missing teeth in a row. The bridge connects to crowns placed on healthy teeth on either side, holding the artificial teeth between them. Bridges restore your appearance and chewing ability while protecting your teeth's alignment. Learn more about dental bridges
Dental Implant Restorations
Dental implants are today's most advanced replacements for missing teeth. Unlike bridges, they replace the root and crown of the missing tooth, keeping the jaw bone strong. We restore existing dental implants in our office. Learn more about dental implantsÂ
Dentures
Dentures can replace a full arch of damaged teeth at once. Partial dentures replace a few teeth. Learn more about dentures
Root Canal Treatment
A root canal treats inflammation or infection inside a tooth's pulp. Root canals relieve the discomfort associated with a broken or decayed tooth and allow the dentist to repair the tooth with a crown or filling. Learn more about root canal treatmentÂ
Extractions
When a tooth is damaged, and the dentist believes they cannot save it, it may need extraction. We can perform extractions in the comfort of our office. Learn more about extractions
