RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
What it is
Restorative dentistry repairs or replaces teeth that are decayed, cracked, worn or missing—with options such as fillings, crowns and bridges, and consultations about dentures or implant restorations—so eating, speaking and smiling feel comfortable again.
Understand the problem. Know your options.
An exam helps identify the cause of discomfort or damage. We’ll discuss recommended treatment and alternatives, including when specialist care may be appropriate. Your care plan should make sense to you before treatment starts.
Every recommendation begins with an individual assessment. Treatment suitability and results vary.

Questions about
restorative dentistry?
We’re happy to talk through your individual situation.
Call our team: (630) 834-4116What’s the difference between a filling and a crown?
A filling repairs a portion of a tooth; a crown covers more of the tooth to help restore its shape and function. The extent of damage guides the recommendation.
What can replace a missing tooth?
Depending on your needs, options may include a bridge, denture or implant-supported restoration. A consultation helps determine appropriate options and any needed referrals.
