What is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and replacing damaged or missing teeth, helping patients regain confidence in their smiles and maintain optimal oral health. Whether you have cavities, missing teeth, or need advanced treatment like dental implants, our experienced team offers high-quality, long-lasting solutions.

At Family Dentist Tree, we take a conservative approach, recommending only the treatments we would choose for our own families. Our goal is to restore not just your smile but also your ability to eat, speak, and live comfortably.

The Benefits of Restorative Care

Improves Oral Function

Restorative treatments help you chew and speak properly by repairing or replacing damaged teeth. Whether it’s a filling, crown, or implant, we ensure your teeth function as they should.

Prevents Further Dental Issues

Addressing dental problems early prevents them from worsening. Fillings stop cavities from spreading, crowns protect weakened teeth, and implants prevent bone loss after tooth loss.

Enhances Your Smile’s Appearance

We use natural-looking materials to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, ensuring your restorations look and feel like a natural part of your smile.

Our Restorative Services

We offer a full range of restorative treatments to help you maintain a healthy, complete smile.

Our composite fillings repair cavities with a durable, natural-looking material that blends seamlessly with your teeth. Unlike traditional silver fillings, composite fillings bond to your tooth structure, providing strength and aesthetic appeal.

Crowns restore and protect teeth that are cracked, weakened, or have undergone root canal therapy. We provide high-quality lab-made crowns designed for durability and a natural appearance.

For patients missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge can fill the gap, restoring both function and aesthetics. Our bridges are custom-crafted to match the look and feel of your natural teeth.

We offer traditional full and partial dentures, as well as implant-supported options for greater stability and comfort. Whether you need a full-arch restoration or a partial denture, we create custom solutions to fit your lifestyle.

When a tooth is severely decayed or infected, root canal therapy can save it. We carefully remove infected tissue, disinfect the tooth, and restore it with a durable filling or crown, relieving pain and preserving your natural tooth.

Dental implants provide a long-term solution for missing teeth. We offer implant placement, restoration, and maintenance to ensure a stable and natural-looking smile. Implants help prevent bone loss and restore full chewing function.

When a tooth is too damaged to be saved, an extraction may be necessary to protect your overall oral health. We provide gentle, stress-free extractions to relieve pain and prevent complications. If needed, we also offer tooth replacement solutions like implants or bridges to restore your smile after an extraction.

Service List

You may need a crown if you have a cracked or weakened tooth, a large filling that needs extra support, or if you’ve undergone root canal therapy. A crown helps protect and restore the strength of your tooth, preventing further damage. If you experience discomfort when chewing or notice a visible fracture, it’s best to schedule an exam so we can determine if a crown is the right solution.

Dental implants are a long-term solution that integrates with your jawbone, providing stability and preventing bone loss. While dentures are a great option for some patients, implants offer a more natural feel and improved chewing function. However, the best choice depends on your oral health, lifestyle, and budget. We’re happy to discuss your options and find the right solution for you.

A bridge replaces missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth, while an implant is a stand-alone solution that doesn’t affect surrounding teeth. Bridges can be a good option for patients who may not be candidates for implants, but they require healthy neighboring teeth for support. Implants, on the other hand, help preserve jawbone density and can last a lifetime with proper care.

It depends on the location of the extracted tooth. If it’s a wisdom tooth or a back molar that doesn’t affect your bite, replacement may not be necessary. However, missing teeth can lead to shifting, bone loss, and bite changes, so replacing a lost tooth with an implant, bridge, or denture is often recommended to maintain long-term oral health.
