Cavities, chips, cracks, and worn or missing teeth can make eating uncomfortable and smiling stressful. Restorative dentistry repairs damage, rebuilds function, and helps you feel confident again—often in just one or two visits.

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing teeth and replacing missing ones so you can chew comfortably, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. Dr. Landress uses durable, natural-looking materials designed to blend with your smile.

• Cavities or worn fillings
• Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
• Sensitive or painful teeth when biting
• Missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures
• Old metal fillings you’d like replaced with tooth-colored materials

When decay is small to moderate, bonded composite fillings are a conservative, attractive solution.

• Blends with your natural tooth shade
• Preserves healthy tooth structure
• Strong, quick, and comfortable

For larger areas of damage that don’t need a full crown, inlays and onlays provide extra strength and a precise fit.

• Replacing big, old fillings
• Strengthening chewing surfaces
• Matching natural tooth color and shine

A crown covers the entire visible part of a tooth to restore shape, strength, and appearance.

• A tooth is cracked or badly worn
• After a root canal
• A large filling won’t hold long term

A dental bridge uses neighboring teeth to hold a lifelike replacement tooth in place.

• Fixed (not removable)
• Looks natural and restores chewing
• Can prevent teeth from shifting

See our Dental Bridges page.

Implants replace the tooth root and support a crown, bridge, or denture for a stable, long-lasting result.

• Looks and feels like a natural tooth
• Protects bone where the tooth was lost
• Lets you chew confidently

Today’s dentures are lighter, more comfortable, and more natural-looking than ever. 

Implant-supported designs “snap” into place for extra stability.

• Partial dentures for several missing teeth
• Full dentures for a complete arch
• Implant-retained dentures for superior hold

When a cavity or crack reaches the nerve of your tooth, root canal therapy can often save the tooth and relieve pain.
