What Is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dental treatments are those that restore and repair teeth to a state of good health. Restorative dental treatments provided by our experienced dentists also enable patients with missing teeth to complete their smiles and restore function.
Examples of restorative dental care include fillings or crowns that halt the progression of decay. Dental restorations also protect cracked or fractured teeth from further trauma and potential loss, and dental implants and bridges restore incomplete smiles.
Benefits of Restorative Dental Treatments
Restorative dental treatments offer functional and health benefits, in addition to keeping your smile looking beautiful. Specific benefits include:
- Prevents decay from spreading
- Strengthens weakened teeth
- Repairs cracked teeth
- Protects vulnerable teeth from infections
- Restores gaps in smiles due to missing teeth
- Improves oral health
- Bolsters self-confidence

Dental Crowns
A crown is a dental restoration that completely covers the outside of a tooth that is cracked, broken, worn down, or severely decayed. Dental crowns are usually completed in two visits. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared (shaved down) and an impression is taken. A temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is fabricated. During the second visit, the permanent crown is carefully fitted and then cemented into place.
Dental Bridges
A bridge can replace missing teeth without the use of a denture or dental implant. A bridge is composed of two crowns and a replacement tooth or teeth. Crowns are typically placed on the teeth on either side of the space, with the fabricated tooth or teeth attached in between.
For multiple missing teeth, an implant may be used to anchor the bridge.
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth and protect existing teeth by helping to preserve bone structure. Dental implants are composed of three pieces: a small screw made of a biocompatible metal called titanium, an abutment that connects the screw, and the final restoration.
Dentures
A denture is a replacement for multiple missing teeth within the same (upper or lower) arch. A denture differs from a crown or bridge in that it does not rely on an existing tooth structure, and it completely replaces the missing teeth.
There are several different types of dentures:
- Full or Partial
- Removable or Fixed
- Traditional or Implant-Supported
Extractions
At Amarillo Dental Associates, extractions are always a last resort. But certain injuries to teeth simply cannot be repaired. Teeth that crack beneath the gum line, for example, will need to be extracted and replaced with a restorative treatment such as a dental implant or bridge.
