Restorative dentistry—also called restoration dentistry—includes treatments that repair or replace damaged, decayed or missing teeth. It ranges from tooth-colored fillings and dental bonding to crowns, bridges and inlays & onlays. Full-mouth rehabilitation is also part of this care.
These treatments restore natural function, prevent further breakdown and improve overall appearance. Our dentists use modern materials and precise techniques to create restorations that blend smoothly with your natural smile.
From fillings to full‑mouth rehabilitation, we offer the full spectrum of restorative dentistry services under one roof. No need for multiple referrals.

With in‑office milling and advanced materials, we can often place crowns, inlays or onlays in a single visit—saving you time and temporary restorations.
Numbing techniques, nitrous oxide and oral sedation help you stay relaxed. We use gentle injections, and every room has a TV and headphones for added comfort.
Digital impressions, CBCT scans and computer‑guided implant placement maximise accuracy and minimise discomfort.
Our patients are at the heart of everything we do. Read their stories and discover how compassionate care and trusted dentistry have made a difference in their smiles.
This guide pairs common dental problems with the simplest and most effective restorative solution.
| Type | Covers | Best For | Material Options | Longevity | Tooth Conservation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inlay | Area between cusps | Moderate cavities, replacing large fillings | Porcelain, Composite Resin, Gold, Ceramic | ≈10–20 yrs | Excellent | Custom fit; hidden inside grooves; minimal prep |
| Onlay | One or more cusps plus biting surface | Fractured cusps, extensive decay, worn edges | Zirconia, Porcelain/Ceramic, Gold, Composite | ≈10–25 yrs | High | Also called partial crown; reinforces biting forces |
| Crown | Entire tooth above gumline | Severe decay, root canal-treated teeth, cracked teeth | Porcelain, Zirconia, PFM, Gold | ≈10–15+ yrs | Moderate | Full coverage protection; more enamel removal |
| Filling | Within cavity only | Small cavities or chips | Composite, Amalgam | ≈5–10 yrs | Highest | Quick and economical; may need replacement sooner |

We use high-quality materials such as zirconia, porcelain and premium composites for durable, natural-looking results. Every restoration is digitally designed for a precise fit and dependable long-term performance. Many crowns also include an optional multi-year warranty for added reassurance.
Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, and floss once daily to clean around fillings, crowns and bridges. A nightguard helps if you clench or grind. Avoid chewing hard items like ice or pens, and skip sticky candies that can loosen restorations. Visit us every six months for cleanings so we can polish your restorations, check your bite and make small adjustments when needed.
Damaged or missing teeth can make eating, speaking and smiling more difficult. Cavities, cracks and infections may spread and lead to pain, gum disease or tooth loss. Restorative dentistry stops this progression, supports remaining tooth structure and improves the look and function of your smile. Early treatment helps prevent more complex procedures later and protects jawbone health.
Restorations also support overall wellness. Untreated oral infections have been linked to health concerns such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Our careful, conservative approach focuses on preserving natural tooth structure while creating results that last.




Find quick answers to the most common questions our patients ask.
Restorative dentistry repairs or replaces damaged, decayed or missing teeth using treatments like fillings, crowns, bridges and implants. The goal is to restore normal function, protect remaining tooth structure and improve comfort when chewing or speaking. It also helps prevent further damage and long-term complications.
You may need restorative care if you have persistent pain, a cracked or chipped tooth, visible decay, difficulty chewing or a missing tooth. These issues often worsen when ignored. A dental exam with X-rays confirms the problem and shows which treatment fits your situation.
Dental fillings usually do not hurt because the area is numbed before treatment. You may feel light pressure during the procedure and mild sensitivity for a short time afterward. Composite fillings bond securely to the tooth and restore function quickly, making them a common solution for early decay.
A filling repairs small to moderate decay by sealing and rebuilding part of the tooth. A crown covers the entire tooth when damage is extensive or the structure is weak. Fillings preserve more enamel, while crowns offer stronger, full-coverage protection for teeth at risk of breaking.
Dental crowns often last 10–15 years, though many last longer with good care. Longevity depends on the material, bite forces, clenching or grinding habits and daily hygiene. Regular checkups allow small adjustments that help keep a crown stable and functioning well over time.
A chipped tooth may be an emergency if it causes pain, exposes the inner layer or affects the front teeth before an important event. Bonding, a crown or smoothing the edge can fix the tooth. Quick treatment prevents further cracking and protects the surrounding structure.
Most PPO plans cover part of restorative care, including fillings, crowns and bridges. Coverage varies by material and tooth location. Before treatment, benefits are checked so you know your expected portion. Payment plans are usually available for out-of-pocket costs.
A bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring to the neighboring teeth, while an implant replaces the root and stands independently. Bridges offer quicker results, while implants preserve bone and avoid modifying nearby teeth. Your health, bone quality and goals determine the better choice.
Some crowns can be placed the same day using in-office milling technology. Traditional crowns require two visits: one for shaping the tooth and taking impressions, and another to place the final crown. Your case and the material selected determine the timeline.
Full-mouth rehabilitation combines multiple restorative treatments—such as crowns, implants, bridges and bonding—to rebuild function and comfort across all teeth. It’s recommended when there is widespread wear, missing teeth, chronic bite problems or long-term damage. A custom plan outlines steps, timing and expected results.
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss around the restoration to prevent decay at the edges. Avoid chewing very hard items if you have a history of fractures. Nightguards help protect crowns and fillings if you grind. Regular checkups keep the restorations stable.
A crown is recommended when the tooth has deep decay, a large fracture, repeated fillings or weakened structure. Crowns offer full coverage and prevent further cracking. A filling works only when enough healthy enamel remains to support it.
Costs vary based on the treatment. Simple fillings typically start around $150–$250. Crowns range from $900–$2,500 per tooth depending on material. Implants start around $3,000–$4,500 each. We provide written estimates and discuss insurance coverage and financing before starting.
