Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry focuses on restoring the function, health, and appearance of your teeth.

Common Restorative Dentistry Procedures
-
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are the most common solution for treating cavities or small areas of tooth decay. We use high-quality, tooth-colored materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing restoration. -
Crowns
A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. Crowns are often used to protect teeth that have undergone root canal treatment or to restore teeth with large cavities or cracks. We offer porcelain crowns, which are durable and aesthetically match the natural appearance of your teeth. -
Bridges
Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by attaching artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. This restores both the function and appearance of your smile, allowing you to speak and eat comfortably again. -
Dentures
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth. They can be partial (for those who have lost some teeth) or full (for those who have lost all their teeth). Our dentures are custom-made to ensure comfort and natural-looking results, allowing you to regain your ability to chew and speak clearly. -
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement. They consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant has healed, a crown, bridge, or denture is placed on top to restore the appearance and function of your tooth. Implants are a permanent and highly effective solution for missing teeth, providing a secure and natural feel. -
Root Canals
A root canal is a treatment used to save a severely decayed or infected tooth by removing the infected pulp and sealing the tooth. This procedure can help you avoid tooth extraction and preserve your natural tooth for years to come. -
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used to repair teeth with moderate decay or damage. Inlays fit into the cavity, while onlays cover a larger portion of the tooth. These restorations provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution to repair damaged teeth. -
Full Mouth Reconstruction
In some cases, multiple restorative treatments may be needed to restore the health and function of your teeth. Full mouth reconstruction combines several restorative procedures to address complex dental issues, such as extensive tooth decay, bite problems, or injury. Our team will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
The lifespan of dental restorations varies depending on the type of treatment and the materials used. For example, dental crowns typically last between 10-15 years, while dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. Fillings generally last around 5-10 years, and dentures can last 5-7 years. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene will help extend the life of your restorations.
Dental implants are often considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth due to their durability, natural appearance, and ability to preserve jawbone health. Implants provide a permanent, secure solution and function much like natural teeth. However, other options, such as bridges or dentures, may be recommended depending on your individual needs and preferences.
Yes, both dentures and dental implants allow you to eat a wide variety of foods, though you may need to start with soft foods after getting dentures or implants. With time and practice, most patients adapt to eating with their new restorations and can enjoy a normal diet. For dentures, it may take a little time to get used to chewing, but once you’ve adjusted, you should be able to eat comfortably.
