What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and replacing damaged or missing teeth to restore both function and appearance. Unlike preventive care that helps you avoid dental problems, restorative treatments address existing issues to help you maintain optimal oral health. Our goal is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible while providing lasting solutions that improve your quality of life.

Our Restorative Dentistry Services

• Tooth-Colored Fillings: Cavities are one of the most common dental problems, but they don’t have to compromise your smile’s appearance. We offer tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These composite resin fillings not only restore the strength and function of your tooth but also maintain the aesthetic beauty of your smile. Unlike traditional metal fillings, tooth-colored fillings bond directly to your tooth structure, providing excellent support and durability.
• Dental Crowns: When a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or weakened, a dental crown may be the best solution. Crowns are custom-made caps that cover the entire visible portion of your tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. At our practice, we utilize advanced CEREC technology for dental crowns, which means we can often create and place your crown in a single visit. This same-day crown service saves you time and eliminates the need for temporary crowns while you wait for a permanent restoration.
• Cracked Tooth Repair: A cracked tooth can cause significant discomfort and lead to more serious problems if left untreated. Our restorative dentistry Loveland team has extensive experience in diagnosing and treating cracked teeth. Depending on the severity and location of the crack, we may recommend a filling, crown, or other appropriate treatment to protect your tooth and relieve your pain. Early intervention is key to saving a cracked tooth, so we encourage you to contact us right away if you suspect damage.
• Dental Implants: Missing teeth can affect your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Dental implants offer the most natural-looking and long-lasting solution for tooth replacement. These titanium posts are surgically placed in your jawbone, where they fuse with the bone to create a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants not only restore your smile but also help preserve your jawbone and facial structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do restorative dental treatments last?

The lifespan of restorative treatments varies depending on the procedure and how well you care for your teeth. Fillings typically last 5-15 years, crowns can last 10-15 years or longer, and dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.

Does insurance cover restorative dentistry?

Many restorative procedures are covered by dental insurance, though coverage levels vary by plan. We’re in-network with Delta Dental and will bill other insurance companies on your behalf. Our team will help you understand your benefits and explore financing options, including CareCredit and in-house financing.

Are restorative dental procedures painful?

We prioritize your comfort during all procedures. Local anesthesia is used to numb the treatment area, and our gentle approach ensures you experience minimal discomfort. Most patients report that the procedures are much easier than they anticipated.
