What is restorative dentistry?

Restorative dentistry repairs damaged or decayed teeth, improving your oral health, function, and appearance. With 35 years of experience, specialized endodontics training, and onsite digital X-rays, Dr. Eaton provides comprehensive restorative dentistry services tailored to your unique needs.

What issues can restorative dentistry address?

Dr. Eaton may recommend restorative dentistry if you have:

• Decayed teeth
• Cracked or broken teeth
• Severe tooth pain
• Missing teeth
• Worn-down teeth
• Tooth sensitivity
• Difficulty chewing or biting
• Gum disease
• Jaw pain or discomfort
• Dental trauma or injury

Restorative treatments can help relieve pain, discomfort, and oral health complications from these conditions while restoring your smile’s functionality and aesthetics.

Are there different types of restorative dentistry treatments?

Dr. Eaton specializes in many types of restorative treatments, including:

Fillings

To place a filling, Dr. Eaton removes decayed portions of your tooth and fills the space with a durable material, restoring its strength and preventing further decay. He may use amalgam (metal), composite resin, porcelain, or gold.

Crowns

Custom-made crowns are tooth-shaped caps that Dr. Eaton places over damaged or weakened teeth to strengthen and protect them, restoring their shape, size, and functionality.

I
nlays and onlays

Inlays and onlays repair moderately damaged or decayed teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure compared to traditional fillings.

Bridges

Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants, restoring your ability to chew and speak properly.

Dental implants

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in your jawbone to support artificial teeth, providing a permanent and stable solution for replacing missing teeth.

Dentures

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices that replace your missing teeth and surrounding tissues, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently.

Endodontics

Endodontic treatments, like root canal therapy, remove infected or damaged pulp from inside your tooth, relieving pain and saving your natural tooth from extraction.

Dr. Eaton works with you to protect your smile after restorative dentistry. He may recommend supplemental teeth cleanings, oral health education, and ongoing monitoring to ensure the long-term success of your restorative treatments.
