What needs repair?
Restorative dentistry means fixing or replacing teeth. A filling repairs a small area of decay. A crown covers a weak tooth. A bridge fills a gap using nearby teeth or implants for support.
A plan in clear steps
We check the teeth, gums, and bite before you choose care. Tell us about pain, trouble chewing, or a tooth that keeps breaking. We explain what may need care first and what other options you have.
Think about long-term care
Each option has tradeoffs. A crown may require reshaping the tooth. A bridge needs special cleaning beneath it. All dental work can wear or break over time.
Ask about the full cost and the visits needed. Keep brushing, cleaning between teeth, and coming in for checks to protect your mouth and dental work.
Common questions
Can you save my tooth?
An exam and sometimes X-rays are needed to know. We will explain whether repair is a sound choice.
Must I do everything at once?
Ask which care is urgent and whether the rest can be done in stages.
This is general information. An exam helps us find the right care for you.
