The short answer
Restorative dentistry is the branch of dental care that repairs decayed, cracked or worn teeth and replaces missing ones, so you can chew, speak and smile comfortably again. Depending on the damage, treatment may involve tooth-colored fillings, crowns including same-day CEREC crowns designed with CAD/CAM and milled in the office, inlays and onlays, bridges, dental implants, or full, partial and implant-supported dentures. It is used when decay, a fracture, wear or a gap has left a tooth weak or missing, and it restores strength and function while protecting your long-term oral health.
Restorative Dentistry: Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know if I need restorative dentistry?
- You may need restorative dentistry if you have cavities, broken or worn teeth, missing teeth, or older dental work that is failing. Pain, sensitivity and trouble chewing are common signs that something needs attention. An exam with digital images lets your dentist see what is going on and recommend the options that fit.
- What is the difference between a filling and a crown?
- A filling repairs a smaller area of decay, while a crown covers the whole visible surface of a tooth. A filling replaces the damaged structure with tooth-colored composite. A crown is the better choice when a tooth is cracked, weakened or too decayed for a filling to support reliably, and an inlay or onlay can fill the middle ground when a filling is not enough but a full crown is not yet needed.
- What are the benefits of same-day CEREC crowns?
- Same-day CEREC crowns remove the need for a temporary crown and a second visit. Your tooth is scanned digitally instead of with impression trays, and the crown is designed with CAD/CAM and milled right in the office. That means you can leave the same day with your final restoration.
- Are dental implants better than bridges or dentures?
- Whether dental implants are better than bridges or dentures depends on your health, jawbone, budget and goals. Implants replace the root as well as the crown, which helps preserve bone, protect neighboring teeth and provide excellent stability. Bridges and dentures, including implant-supported dentures, are also available, and your dentist will review each choice with you.
- Will my restorative treatment look natural?
- Yes, restorative treatment is designed to look natural. Tooth-colored materials and high-quality ceramics are carefully matched to your surrounding teeth. That way your dental work blends in, and people notice your smile rather than your restorations.
- Does restorative dentistry hurt?
- Most restorative procedures are done with local anesthesia, so they should not hurt. Gentle techniques and clear communication help ease anxiety. Electric handpieces, which run quieter and smoother than older drills, also help make the visit more comfortable.
- How long do crowns, fillings, and implants last?
- With good home care and regular checkups, composite fillings can last many years and crowns often last 10 to 15 years or longer. How long any restoration lasts depends on your habits and oral health. Avoiding tobacco, easing off very hard or sticky foods and wearing a nightguard if recommended all help extend their life.
- Will my insurance cover restorative dentistry?
- Many dental plans include benefits for necessary restorative care such as fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures. Coverage varies, so the team will review your benefits and provide estimates before treatment. The office is in network with Delta Dental and works with many other plans, and can help you make the most of your benefits.
- Do you offer payment plans or financing?
- Yes, flexible payment options and third-party financing are available. Patients can apply through financing companies such as CareCredit or Cherry, and each provider sets its own approval decisions, interest rates and repayment terms. When it helps, treatment can also be phased into stages to keep larger plans manageable.
- How do I schedule a restorative dentistry consultation?
- You can schedule a restorative dentistry consultation by booking online. The team will help you find a convenient time and answer early questions. At the visit, your dentist examines your teeth, reviews digital images and explains each recommended option in clear, simple terms.
