Get Back What You've Lost

When several teeth go missing, simple activities like eating corn on the cob become impossible. Custom dentures restore your ability to bite, chew, and smile without worry. Each set is carefully crafted to match your facial features and mouth shape. Today's dentures look so realistic that others won't know you're wearing them.

Your dentist uses dental implants to secure your dentures and give you the most lifelike feel and function. You won't need adhesive, and you don't have to worry about embarrassing slips or shifts. Plus, implants help stop bone loss in your jaw so your face looks fuller and younger.

Your dentist can extract teeth when needed. He can also perform a bone graft, sinus lift, or ridge augmentation to strengthen your jaw in preparation for implants.

Life is too short to hide your smile or avoid foods you love. Our caring team makes every appointment relaxing and comfortable from start to finish.

Your Comfort Comes First

Fear of dental work stops too many people from getting healthy teeth. Oral sedation turns anxious patients into relaxed ones who drift peacefully through their appointments. This proven method helps you stay calm while receiving the dental care your smile deserves.

Certain cases require tooth removal or minor surgery before we can build your new smile. We handle these preparatory steps with expert care to ensure your restorative work lasts for decades. Each procedure follows a careful plan designed to heal quickly and hurt less.

Whether you need one filling or a full-mouth reconstruction, we'll walk beside you every step of the way. Making you feel secure and confident is just as important as fixing your teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dentistry

What does restorative dentistry include?
When a tooth is damaged, decayed, injured, or infected, you will need some type of restorative dental treatment to preserve, repair, or replace it. The goal is to help you maintain the full, comfortable function of your mouth. Restorative dentistry services include treatments like tooth fillings, dental crowns and bridges, dentures, and dental implants.
How much does restorative dentistry cost?
Because restorative dentistry covers such a wide range of procedures, you can expect an equally wide range of costs. A simple tooth filling will cost much less than a dental crown, for example. Replacement teeth, like dental implants, require more planning and more involved procedures, so you can expect a greater financial investment.
What are the benefits of restorative dentistry?
A healthy mouth is so much more than clean teeth and gums. Throughout your lifetime, you may need some type of restorative dental care to treat issues that cause pain or discomfort, interfere with your oral function, or threaten your oral health. Restorative dentistry services address problems like cavities, tooth infection, dental injuries, and tooth loss to keep your teeth functional and your mouth healthy.
