What are your restorative dentistry options?

When you have damaged or missing teeth, everyday activities like eating can become challenging and painful. The sharp edges of a broken tooth might cut into your gums or tongue, while missing teeth can make it difficult to chew food properly.

Besides, you might find yourself avoiding conversations, speaking with your hands over your mouth, or smiling with your lips pursed, all because you’re worried about how others might think about your teeth. Restorative dentistry can rebuild your smile to reverse the effects of damaged teeth.

Our office rebuilds, refreshes, and revolutionizes your damaged smile with the following treatments.

  • Tooth fillings: We repair minor tooth decay and damage with composite fillings, which are tooth-colored and create an aesthetically appealing outcome. Placing your dental filling is a minimally invasive procedure that requires only one appointment to restore your smile.
  • Dental crowns: Our dental team places dental crowns for teeth with extensive dental damage. A dental crown encapsulates the visible portion of your tooth to enhance its structural strength and aesthetics. Our dental crowns are created with excellent precision to achieve a comfortable fit and natural-looking appearance.
  • Implant-based restorations: Missing one or more teeth can significantly impact your aesthetics, functionality, and confidence. Luckily, dental implants can replace your teeth, restoring everything robbed by tooth loss. Our implant solutions can replace a single tooth or an entire mouth of missing teeth.
  • Root canal treatment: Our office saves badly damaged or infected teeth with root canal therapy (RCT). A root canal removes the diseased tissues and restores your tooth with biocompatible materials to restore its function and aesthetics. When we restore your tooth with a root canal, it functions like other teeth and lasts many years with proper care.
  • Dentures: A denture is an economical and removable (sometimes fixed) restoration that replaces one or multiple missing teeth. Like any other procedure, dentures are personalized to your specific needs. We offer complete and partial dentures to restore any number of missing teeth in the mouth.
  • Dental bridges: A dental bridge is a dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by attaching prosthetic teeth to neighboring natural teeth or dental implants. A dental bridge fills the gap left by missing teeth to restore your aesthetics and functionality.
  • Full mouth restoration: Full mouth reconstruction combines several restorative treatments to overhaul and rebuild your entire smile. Our doctor will recommend a full mouth restoration if you have extensive tooth loss, widespread dental decay, or TMJ-related pain. Full mouth rehabilitation resolves multiple, severe, and ongoing issues with a multidisciplinary approach.

What are the benefits of restorative dentistry?

  • Enhanced aesthetics
  • Improved chewing and speaking ability
