Restorative Dentistry
We practice restorative dentistry because your teeth are essential to the overall health of your mouth, jawbone, and body — so we aim to restore and preserve them whenever possible rather than pull them. If you damage a tooth, we'll examine it and work out the best way to save your natural tooth and keep it from needing extraction.
Restorative Dentistry for Kids
A child's permanent teeth are the only ones they'll ever have. If one is damaged playing sports or on the monkey bars, quick treatment reduces the risk of infection or further spread. For younger kids, bonding is usually the go-to — quick, non-invasive, completed in one visit. A tooth-colored material is applied, shaped, and hardened with a dental light, giving a natural, painless result the same day. One thing to know: as a child's mouth continues to grow, a bonded tooth may need a touch-up once they're an adult.
Restorative Dentistry for Seniors
Many seniors assume tooth loss is inevitable and skip restoring a damaged or infected tooth — that's usually a mistake. Bone loss (more common in seniors, especially women, depending on health history, diet, and activity level) can increase fracture risk, reduce height, and change facial appearance over time.
Your natural teeth stimulate the jawbone every time you bite down. Lose a tooth, and that stimulation stops in that area — the body then begins pulling calcium away from the jaw through a process called resorption, which can create a sunken facial appearance. Saving a damaged tooth whenever possible isn't just about the tooth itself; it preserves the health of the jawbone and your appearance along with it.
Immediate Restorations
Dental bonding is typically the fastest option, completed in a single visit, though it isn't the right fit for every case. Veneers and crowns usually require two visits, but we'll fit a temporary on your first visit so your smile is restored and you can return to eating soft foods right away, with the permanent restoration placed on the second visit.
Natural-Looking Materials
Whether you're getting a filling, bonding, veneer, crown, bridge, or implant, we use tooth-colored materials matched to the shade of your surrounding teeth, so the restoration blends in rather than standing out.
How Long Restorations Last
Anywhere from five years to a lifetime, depending largely on how well the restoration is cared for — a restored tooth needs to be treated like a natural one: keep brushing and flossing, avoid biting down on anything inedible, avoid grinding your teeth, and keep up with regular checkups. Patients who do all of this can often wear a restoration for twenty years or more.
