Tooth-Colored Fillings restore teeth that have been damaged by tooth decay by using tooth-colored filling, restoring both the functionality and appearance of each tooth.

Traditional Crowns & Bridges are made to look like the surrounding teeth and fit comfortably over weakened or damaged teeth.

Root Canal Therapy removes the pulp from inside an infected tooth, then the tooth is cleaned, sealed, and restored with a crown or similar restoration.

Dental Implant Restorations usually involve tightening a loose implant or repairing a cracked or lost dental crown to ensure that your implant remains fully functional.

Full & Partial Dentures are an excellent choice for patients who are missing many or all of their teeth, or need teeth removed and replaced.

Full-Mouth Restorations use a combination of cosmetic and restorative services like dental crowns, veneers, implants, and orthodontic work to provide the patient with a complete custom makeover and a beautiful, functional smile.

What’s the difference between restorative and cosmetic dentistry?

Restorative dentistry refers to dental services that are primarily focused on repairing teeth or replacing them altogether, like fillings, root canals, and dental implants. Cosmetic dental services are usually optional treatments that are performed to enhance the cosmetic appearance of the patients’ smile. While restorative services are scheduled to repair the teeth and prevent further damage from occurring, there is some overlap with cosmetic dentistry, as we always want our dental restorations to look nice and natural.

What should I do about my tooth decay?

If one or more of your teeth have been damaged by tooth decay, the treatment you will need will depend on how severe the decay has become.

  • Tooth-Colored Fillings are used to replace small areas of teeth that have been affected by tooth decay and need to be removed and replaced.
  • Dental Crowns and Bridges completely cover teeth that have become weak due to excessive tooth decay and need extra protection and support.
  • Root Canal Treatments are performed when bacteria has made its way inside a decayed tooth and caused an infection, and a crown or bridge must be placed afterward.
  • Full-Mouth Restorations use a combination of cosmetic and restorative services like dental crowns, veneers, implants, and orthodontic work to provide the patient with a complete custom makeover and a beautiful, functional smile.

Is restorative dentistry expensive?

We never want the cost of dental treatments to deter patients from scheduling them, especially if they are an essential component in the patients’ treatment plan. Fortunately, many restorative services are partially or fully covered by dental insurance, as they are considered necessary procedures. Our office also accepts CareCredit® payment plans, which can help divide the cost of restorative dental services into equal monthly payments.
