Missing and damaged teeth, two different issues. Obviously the missing teeth, usually the best solution is implants, which we do a fair number of. Okay, it is now the standard of care.
As far as damaged teeth, there are a whole litany of different procedures that we can do, mostly direct composite white fillings. We can do crowns, we can do inlays, we can do onlays, and each one of those has a specific criteria on why it should be done, okay, in a specific way. And that’s one of the things that we definitely do, is we discuss those different options, what the long-term prognosis would be for each one of those, and then based on the patient’s comfort zone and where they want to go with that, we make that decision together.
The best reason to have a healthy, fully functional smile is quality of life. Without it, you are not enjoying life to its fullest. For me and for a lot of my patients, okay, eating is one of the pleasures of life, okay, not to mention getting the proper nutrition.
And without the proper nutrition, you’re not going to be healthy. If you’re not healthy, you’re tired, you’re not enjoying your life, you’re not, you know, as far as missing teeth and things like that, and you may be self-conscious about the way things look, okay, you’re not going out with your friends, you’re not doing certain things. Why? This is not a dress rehearsal, okay, this is life.
We only go around once, and we have to live it to the fullest.

When you have a tooth that suffers damage from decay, infection, injury, or another type of trauma, restorative dentistry can repair it to save the tooth from further damage or extraction. Restorative treatment includes any service designed to relieve pain and help you regain oral function, like tooth fillings, root canals, crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants.
We offer a wide range of restorative dentistry services, and they all differ in complexity. That means each restorative treatment is going to vary in cost. Simple procedures, like tooth fillings, will cost significantly less than dental crowns, root canal treatments, and replacement teeth. Most dental insurance plans will cover a portion of restorative dental care to offset treatment expenses.
Maintaining oral health involves more than just ensuring clean teeth and gums. Over time, various issues may arise that require restorative dental care to alleviate pain or discomfort, restore oral function, and preserve overall oral health. Restorative dentistry services tackle concerns such as cavities, tooth infections, dental injuries, and tooth loss, ensuring that your teeth remain functional and your mouth stays healthy.
