What are the types of restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry includes various treatments to repair teeth:
Fillings
Fillings fix cavities caused by decay. The dentist removes decay and fills the hole using materials like metals or resins.
Crowns
Crowns, or caps, cover damaged teeth to prevent breakage. They’re made to match natural teeth and may need replacement over time.
Bridges
Bridges fill gaps caused by missing teeth using a false tooth anchored between crowns attached to neighboring teeth.
Partial dentures
Partial dentures replace multiple missing teeth held in place by wires attached to existing teeth.
Dental implants
Dental implants involve placing an artificial root in the jawbone, onto which a crown is later attached after healing.

Composite fillings offer a beautiful, natural-looking smile by seamlessly blending with tooth enamel. Unlike traditional metal fillings, tooth-colored white fillings require less tooth preparation, providing both durability and superior aesthetics. These fillings are color-matched to your natural tooth enamel, not only repairing the tooth but also enhancing its overall appearance.
In addition to filling new cavities with white fillings, we can replace previous metal fillings with newer, more durable, and natural-looking alternatives.
Our dental office completes the process in a single visit. We remove the decayed portion of the tooth, apply a liquid or gel to the affected area, and administer a bonding application. This allows for the insertion of composite resin onto the tooth, which is then prepared and polished to achieve a natural-looking restoration.
