What treatments are included in restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry may include treatments such as tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, dental implants, inlays, onlays, and other services designed to rebuild teeth or replace missing teeth. The right option depends on your oral health needs and the condition of your teeth.
How do I know if I need restorative dental care?
You may need restorative dental care if you have tooth pain, sensitivity, cavities, cracked teeth, worn teeth, loose restorations, missing teeth, or trouble chewing. Our dental team can examine your smile and recommend a treatment plan based on your symptoms, dental imaging, and long-term oral health goals.
Can restorative dentistry improve how my smile looks?

How can I help my restorative dental work last?
You can help restorative dental work last by brushing and flossing daily, keeping routine dental visits, wearing a nightguard if recommended, and avoiding habits such as chewing ice or using your teeth as tools. Our dentists will provide care instructions based on the type of restoration you receive.
