What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry encompasses a variety of dental treatments designed to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth. Whether you're dealing with cavities, tooth decay, or missing teeth, restorative dentistry aims to bring back your natural smile and prevent future oral health issues. At Smart Dental, we believe everyone deserves a healthy, confident smile, and our restorative services are here to make that a reality.

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are one of the most common restorative treatments. They are used to repair minor tooth fractures, decay, or damage. Our practice uses high-quality materials for fillings, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while restoring their function and strength. Say goodbye to cavities and hello to a restored smile with our dental filling services.

Crowns

Crowns offer a fantastic solution for teeth that are significantly damaged or decayed. These custom-made “caps” cover the entire surface of your tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Dr. Petersen skillfully designs crowns that match the color and texture of your natural teeth, ensuring your smile looks as good as new.

Bridges

Bridges are an excellent option for replacing one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth anchored in place by neighboring teeth, effectively bridging the gap in your smile. Not only do bridges restore your smile's appearance, but they also help maintain your face's shape and prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of place.

Root Canals

Root canals are essential for saving a tooth that has been severely infected or damaged. This procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting it, and then filling and sealing it. Contrary to popular belief, root canals are not painful; they relieve pain and can save your natural tooth from extraction. Trust Dr. Petersen and our team to guide you through this process with care and compassion.

Full & Partial Dentures

For those missing several teeth or even all of their teeth, dentures offer a way to restore the look and function of your smile. We provide both full and partial dentures, customized to fit comfortably and look natural. Dentures improve your ability to eat and speak, support your facial structure, and enhance your overall appearance.

Inlays & Onlays

Inlays and onlays are used when a tooth requires more than a filling but less than a crown. These restorations are made from durable materials like porcelain or composite resin and custom-fitted to the tooth. They restore the strength of weakened teeth and provide a more conservative alternative to full-coverage crowns.
