Restorative Dentistry: What to Expect

Dr. Biggio may recommend restorative dentistry to treat problems with decay or gum disease, repair a fractured or broken tooth, fortify a weak or eroded tooth, or replace a tooth that’s gone missing. We’ll review your options for restorative treatment and guide you to the best procedure to renew your smile.

Some common restorative procedures include: 

• Composite resin fillings
• Dental crowns
• Dentures and bridges
• Dental implants
• Bonding
• Dental extractions
• Full mouth rehabilitation

If your tooth can be saved, Dr. Biggio will make every effort to do so to preserve your natural smile. Extraction is generally reserved for teeth that have suffered irreparable damage and are putting healthy teeth at risk. 

The least costly restorative treatment for replacing missing teeth would be a partial denture or resin-bonded (Maryland) bridge. Partial dentures are removable dental devices used to replace one or more missing teeth. They’re held in place by clasps that attach to healthy, adjacent teeth. A Maryland bridge, used mainly to replace missing front teeth, is supported by “wings” bonded to neighboring healthy teeth.

Using anesthesia and dental sedation, Dr. Biggio can make your restorative treatment comfortable, painless, and stress-free.

Through restorative dentistry, we can repair and restore compromised teeth that otherwise would have to be removed. This keeps your smile intact for the future. Restorative dentistry makes your teeth stronger and healthier so they can continue to be used. You’ll be able to eat comfortably and smile confidently for years to come.
