What is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating oral diseases to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth. It aims to restore your mouth to full function and health while enhancing the appearance of your smile. Whether you have cavities, cracked teeth, or tooth loss, our restorative treatments can rebuild your smile and enhance your overall well-being. We use the latest techniques and materials to ensure your results are durable, comfortable, and natural-looking.

Benefits of Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dental care offers significant advantages that go beyond just cosmetic improvements, impacting your overall health and quality of life.

Improved Oral Health

By treating issues like decay and damage, restorative procedures stop problems from getting worse. This helps prevent infections, further tooth loss, and other serious oral health complications, preserving your natural teeth for as long as possible.

Enhanced Functionality

Damaged or missing teeth can make it difficult to chew food properly and speak clearly. Restorative treatments like crowns, bridges, and implants restore your ability to eat your favorite foods and communicate with confidence, returning your bite to its optimal function.

Boosted Self-Esteem

A healthy, complete smile can dramatically improve your self-confidence. Restorative dentistry corrects visible imperfections, giving you a smile you are proud to share with the world and positively impacting your social and professional interactions.

Improved Comfort

Many dental problems, such as deep cavities or cracked teeth, can cause persistent discomfort and sensitivity. Restorative treatments address the root cause of this discomfort, providing lasting relief and improving your daily comfort.

Procedures Offered

Patient Having Shade of Teeth Checked

Composite Fillings

We use tooth-colored composite resin to repair teeth affected by minor to moderate decay or damage. This material bonds directly to your tooth, providing a strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing restoration that blends seamlessly with your natural smile.

Inlay Onlay

Inlays & Onlays

An inlay or onlay is a partial crown restoration that can be placed when there is not sufficient tooth structure to support a filling but enough tooth structure left that a full crown is not needed. Inlays/onlays are made of porcelain or gold, and they aesthetically and functionally replace the missing tooth structure.

Dental Crown

Dental Crowns

A crown, or cap, is custom-made to cover an entire tooth that is weakened, broken, or severely decayed. Our same-day crowns, created with advanced CAD/CAM technology, restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance in just one visit.

Dental Bridge

Dental Bridges

Bridges are an excellent solution for replacing one or more missing teeth in a row. They consist of one or more artificial teeth anchored by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth, effectively “bridging” the gap to restore your smile and bite.

Same Day Restorations (CAD/CAM)

Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Milling (CAM) offers advanced restorative treatment options with less waiting time than traditional restorations. Depending on the procedure(s) being performed, your dental restoration(s) may be able to be placed on the same day or next day instead of the usual wait of one to two weeks or more.

Dental Implant Restoration

Dental Implants

As a comprehensive solution for tooth loss, we both place and restore dental implants. An implant is a titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root, providing a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture for a permanent, natural-feeling replacement.

Implant Supported Dentures Graphic

Implant Retained Dentures

Combine the stability of dental implants with the convenience of a denture. These dentures, available as hybrid or locator options, snap onto implants placed in your jaw, eliminating slipping and providing superior chewing power and confidence.

Woman Smiling Dentures

For patients missing several or all of their teeth, we offer custom-crafted full and partial dentures. Our modern dentures are designed for a comfortable, secure fit, restoring your ability to eat and speak properly while providing support for your facial muscles.

Root Canal Photo

Root Canal Treatment

This procedure saves a tooth that has become severely infected or inflamed on the inside. We carefully remove the damaged pulp, clean the inner chamber, and seal the tooth to relieve discomfort and prevent the need for extraction.

Holding an Extracted Tooth

Dental Extractions

While we always aim to save natural teeth, an extraction is sometimes necessary due to severe damage, decay, or crowding. We perform extractions with a focus on your comfort, ensuring the process is as gentle and stress-free as possible.

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom Teeth Removal

We handle the removal of problematic wisdom teeth that are impacted, causing pain, or creating alignment issues for your other teeth. Our team ensures your procedure is safe and you have the guidance needed for a smooth recovery.

What is the main goal of restorative dentistry?

The primary goal is to restore the function, integrity, and aesthetics of teeth that have been damaged due to decay, trauma, or disease. It aims to save natural teeth whenever possible and replace missing teeth to maintain oral health and a complete smile.

Is restorative dentistry uncomfortable?


We prioritize your comfort during all procedures. Modern anesthetics and techniques make most restorative treatments, like fillings or crowns, virtually painless. We will ensure you are completely numb and comfortable before beginning any work.

How long do restorative treatments last?


The lifespan of a restoration depends on the material used, the type of procedure, and your oral hygiene habits. Composite fillings can last for many years, while crowns, bridges, and implants can last for a decade or longer with proper care.

What is the difference between cosmetic and restorative dentistry?


While there is some overlap, restorative dentistry focuses primarily on repairing damage and restoring oral health and function. Cosmetic dentistry is focused on improving the appearance of your smile. However, many restorative treatments, like tooth-colored fillings and crowns, also provide excellent cosmetic benefits.

How do I know which restorative treatment is right for me?


The best treatment for you depends on your specific dental issue, overall health, and goals. Dr. Chan will conduct a thorough examination, including digital imaging, and discuss all your options to help you make an informed decision that suits your needs.

Can a chipped or cracked tooth be saved?


Yes, in many cases, a chipped or cracked tooth can be saved. Depending on the extent of the damage, options like cosmetic bonding, a veneer, or a dental crown can restore the tooth’s strength and appearance effectively.
