What is restorative dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on replacing missing teeth or repairing teeth that have been damaged by decay, injury, or wear. The goal is to restore strength, function, and comfort while protecting your long-term oral health. Common restorative treatments include fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, and dentures. By addressing problems early, we can often prevent more complex issues and help you maintain a healthy, fully functional smile!

When do I need a filling instead of a crown?

A filling is typically recommended when a cavity or minor damage affects a small portion of the tooth. If a tooth has extensive decay, a large fracture, or significant weakening, a crown may be needed to fully protect and strengthen it. During your exam, we can evaluate how much healthy tooth structure remains and recommend the most conservative option that will provide long-lasting support.

How do I know if I might need a root canal?

You may need a root canal if the inner pulp of your tooth becomes infected or inflamed. Common signs include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or discomfort when chewing. In some cases, there may be little to no pain, which is why regular exams are important; we use digital X-rays and a thorough evaluation to determine whether root canal therapy is necessary.

Is restorative dental care expensive?

The cost of restorative treatment depends on the type and complexity of care needed. Many dental insurance plans help cover at least a portion of restorative procedures, and our team is happy to help you understand your benefits. For added flexibility, we also accept CareCredit™, which allows you to spread payments out over time. Should you have any financial questions or concerns, our team would be happy to assist.
