Are you a candidate?
Restorative dentistry can help if you…
If any of these sound like you, a restorative consultation is worth your time — we give you a straight answer about what is possible and what it costs.
- Have a cracked, chipped, or broken tooth that keeps catching or bothering you.
- Have one or more missing teeth that make you hide your smile or chew on one side.
- Have gaps between teeth that shift the others out of place over time.
- Have worn-down or sensitive teeth that make hot or cold uncomfortable.
- Feel pain or discomfort when chewing, or a bite that just does not feel right.
What to expect
Your restorative visit, step by step
Here is exactly what happens when you come in — so there are no surprises.
Consultation and exam
We look at your teeth, gums, and bite, and listen to your goals. This is where we figure out what is actually going on.
Imaging and treatment plan
Digital imaging shows exactly what is needed. We walk you through your options with clear pricing before we start anything.
The procedure
Your crown, bridge, implant, or denture is placed carefully and comfortably — many restorations are single-visit with our CEREC system.
Fit, polish, and bite check
We adjust so your bite feels right and your smile looks natural. Nothing leaves until it is comfortable.
Follow-up and care
We will see you again to make sure everything settles in, and show you how to care for your new restoration.

We are in-network with Delta Dental and accept most PPO plans. Many patients spread payments over time with financing through CareCredit or Sunbit.
