Restore Your Smile, Reclaim Your Life

Benefits of Restorative Dentistry

Damaged or missing teeth affect more than just appearance. Restorative treatments restore full function to your smile, letting you eat comfortably, speak clearly, and feel confident in social situations without worrying about dental problems holding you back.
Alleviate Pain and Discomfort
Damaged or infected teeth can cause intense pain that interferes with daily life. Restorative treatments eliminate the source of discomfort, so you can eat, speak, and smile again with ease.
Dental problems tend to worsen over time if untreated. Restorative care stops decay, fractures, and infections before they lead to more extensive damage or even tooth loss.
Damaged or missing teeth can make it difficult to chew, speak, and perform other essential functions. Restorations return your mouth to optimal working order, so you can enjoy all your favorite foods and activities.
Modern restorative materials are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Enjoy a renewed smile that looks healthy, whole, and authentically you.
Missing or damaged teeth can cause surrounding teeth to shift, leading to bite problems and jaw pain. Restorations help maintain proper alignment for improved comfort and function.
Oral health is deeply connected to overall health. By treating dental problems and maintaining a complete, functional smile, you’re investing in your total wellness for life.

Reclaiming Health and Confidence

Who Is Restorative Dentistry For?

If your teeth are damaged, decayed, or missing, you’re not alone. Restorative dentistry is designed for patients of all ages who want to repair and rebuild their smiles, restoring both function and aesthetics for improved quality of life.

Patients with Tooth Decay or Damage

Cavities, cracks, and wear can compromise your oral health and self-esteem, but restorative treatments can make your smile whole again.

Those Missing One or More Teeth

Whether you’ve lost teeth due to injury, decay, or disease, restorative options like bridges and implants can fill the gaps and restore your smile.

Anyone Wanting a Stronger Bite

Weakened or missing teeth can make eating and speaking difficult, but restorative dentistry can help you regain a strong, stable bite.

Do Any of These Situations Sound Familiar to You?

  • Dealing with Painful Tooth Decay: Cavities have progressed beyond what a filling can repair, and you need a more extensive restoration.

  • Cracked Tooth from an Accident: Trauma from a fall or blow to the face has left you with a fractured tooth that needs to be made whole again.

  • Hiding Your Smile Due to Missing Teeth: The gaps in your grin have made you self-conscious and hesitant to smile openly around others.

  • Difficulty Chewing Properly: Broken, decayed, or missing teeth make it challenging to eat the foods you once enjoyed comfortably.

  • Frequently Losing or Breaking Fillings: Despite numerous attempts to fill a problematic tooth, you keep having recurring issues.

  • Experiencing Throbbing Tooth Pain: The constant discomfort in your tooth may indicate the need for a root canal to alleviate your pain.

  • Ill-Fitting or Uncomfortable Dentures: Your current dentures slip, click, or cause sore spots, and you're interested in more stable alternatives.

  • Frustrated by Discolored Dental Work: Old metal fillings or crowns have become dark and unsightly, detracting from your smile's appearance.

  • Insecure in Professional or Social Settings: Damaged or missing teeth have taken a toll on your confidence at work and in your personal life.

  • Aware of Changing Facial Structure: Missing teeth have caused your cheeks to appear sunken or your bite to shift out of alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Restorative Dentistry FAQs

Common questions about restorative dentistry deserve clear, thorough answers. This section addresses the most frequent concerns about rebuilding and restoring damaged teeth. Find detailed information to help understand treatment options and what to expect during restorative care.

What is restorative dentistry?

Restorative dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on repairing and replacing damaged or missing teeth. The goal of restorative dentistry is to restore the function, health, and appearance of your smile, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At Briggs Family Dental, we offer a comprehensive range of restorative treatments, including dental crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, root canal therapy, dentures, and dental implants.

You may need restorative dental treatment if you have one or more of the following issues:

  • Decayed, cracked, or chipped teeth
  • Missing teeth
  • Worn down teeth due to grinding or clenching
  • Discolored or misshapen teeth
  • Infected or abscessed teeth
  • Gum disease that has led to tooth loss

If you experience any of these problems, schedule a consultation with Dr. Briggs at Briggs Family Dental. He will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums, discuss your concerns and goals, and recommend the most appropriate restorative treatment plan for your unique needs.

Restorative dentistry offers numerous benefits for your oral health and overall well-being, including:

  • Eliminating pain and discomfort caused by damaged or infected teeth
  • Restoring proper function, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably
  • Preventing further damage or decay to your teeth and gums
  • Enhancing the appearance of your smile, boosting your confidence and self-esteem
  • Improving your overall health by reducing the risk of systemic issues linked to poor oral health

At Briggs Family Dental, our goal is to help you achieve a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile that you can enjoy for years to come.

At Briggs Family Dental, we use the highest quality, most advanced materials for our restorative treatments. Depending on your specific needs and preferences, we may use:

  • Tooth-colored composite resin for fillings and bonding
  • Porcelain or zirconia for crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays
  • Gold or other precious metals for inlays, onlays, or crowns in some cases
  • Biocompatible titanium for dental implants

We carefully select materials that offer the best combination of strength, durability, and aesthetics, ensuring that your restorations look natural and function optimally.

The longevity of your restorative treatments depends on several factors, including the type of treatment, the material used, and your oral hygiene habits. On average:

  • Fillings can last 5–15 years
  • Crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays can last 10–15 years or more
  • Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care
  • Dentures may need to be replaced every 5–10 years

At Briggs Family Dental, we use the most durable materials and advanced techniques to ensure your restorations last as long as possible. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene habits will also help extend the life of your restorations.

At Briggs Family Dental, we prioritize your comfort during all restorative dental treatments. Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the treatment area and eliminates pain. For more complex or lengthy treatments, we may offer sedation options to help you relax and feel more comfortable. Our team uses gentle techniques and takes every precaution to minimize discomfort during and after your procedure.
The duration of your restorative dental treatment will depend on the type and extent of the work needed. Some treatments, such as fillings or inlays/onlays, can be completed in a single visit. Others, like crowns, bridges, or dental implants, may require multiple visits over several weeks or months. At your initial consultation, Dr. Briggs will provide you with a detailed treatment plan and timeline, so you know what to expect throughout the process.
Most dental insurance plans offer some coverage for restorative treatments, as they are considered necessary for maintaining oral health. However, the extent of coverage can vary depending on your specific plan and the type of treatment needed. At Briggs Family Dental, our knowledgeable team will work with you to understand your insurance benefits and maximize your coverage. We also offer flexible financing options to help make your restorative care more affordable.

Caring for your restorations at home is essential for maintaining their longevity and ensuring the health of your surrounding teeth and gums. Dr. Briggs and our team will provide you with specific instructions for caring for your restorations, which may include:

  • Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
  • Flossing daily to remove plaque and food particles around your restorations
  • Using an antiseptic mouthwash to reduce the risk of decay and infection
  • Avoiding hard, sticky, or sugary foods that can damage your restorations
  • Attending regular dental check-ups and cleanings at Briggs Family Dental

By following these guidelines and maintaining good oral hygiene habits, you can help your restorations last longer and keep your smile healthy and beautiful.

To schedule a consultation for restorative dentistry at Briggs Family Dental, simply call our office or use our convenient online booking system. During your consultation, Dr. Briggs will assess your oral health, discuss your concerns and goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan to restore your smile’s function and beauty. We’ll take the time to answer all your questions and ensure you feel confident and informed about your restorative care options. Don’t wait to take the first step towards a healthier, more beautiful smile – contact Briggs Family Dental today.

I had a toothache which I had gotten antibiotic for. I called Briggs because they are right next door to us. They worked me in and asked me after looking at it whether I wanted it cared for yet, that day after I was expecting to need to come back another day. I was impressed with the efficiency .

I can’t say enough good things about Briggs Family Dental! From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcome with their friendly smiles and helpful attitudes. What really stands out is how flexible they are with scheduling appointments – they always manage to find a time that works for my busy life. As a parent, I especially appreciate how great they are with kids. My children actually enjoy going to the dentist! I highly recommend Briggs Family Dental to anyone looking for a caring and professional dental practice.

I was accepted as a new patient and was seen by the doctor right away. My previous dentist could not be reached (after 3 attempts) to share x-rays. Dr. Nauss’s assistant very efficiently got whole mouth x-rays without further wait. I left with a plan for my dental work, including insurance estimates. They scheduled my next appointment to my satisfaction. I’m well pleased with the professionalism of the entire team at Briggs Family Dentistry Just got the semi annual cleaning with Brittany. I actually enjoyed the process and recommend her for your next cleaning. .
