Restore Function and Confidence With Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged teeth and replacing missing ones to help you regain full function and confidence in your smile. When you visit The Schiff & Moniz Dental Group, we begin with a thorough evaluation of your oral health and recommend the most appropriate restorative treatments to meet your needs.
You may be a candidate for restorative dentistry if you have:
- Tooth pain
- Tooth decay
- Missing tooth as a result of extraction
- Worn tooth
- Broken tooth
If you're experiencing any of these issues, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with our skilled team. Our dentists—Dr. Lawrence Schiff, Dr. Jill Moniz, Dr. Jill Zurek, and Dr. Reza Hakim Shoushtari—are dedicated to helping you restore your oral health. We offer a full range of restorative procedures, including the following:
Composite Fillings
When bacteria remain on a tooth for too long, they can erode the enamel and form a cavity. Left untreated, this can lead to further damage. To prevent progression, we remove the decayed portion of the tooth and restore it with a composite filling. This durable material blends naturally with your tooth color for a seamless appearance.
Dental Crowns
Broken or decayed teeth can lose their natural size, shape, and color. Dental crowns restore both function and aesthetics by covering and protecting the affected tooth.
During your visit, we will examine the tooth, take X-rays, and capture impressions of the surrounding teeth. After reshaping the tooth, the crown is placed securely between the neighboring teeth to complete your restoration.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are ideal solutions for molars and premolars when a standard filling is insufficient, but a full dental crown is not required.
Inlays fill cavities and hollow areas inside the tooth.
Onlays cover a larger area, including one or more cusps.
Dental Implants
For patients missing one or more teeth due to injury or extraction, dental implants are one of the best long-term replacement options. They look and function like natural teeth and, with proper care, can last a lifetime.
Dental implants help preserve jawbone density and maintain proper tooth alignment. Featuring a titanium implant, an abutment, and a custom crown, they offer a highly successful tooth replacement solution—with success rates reaching up to 98%.
Dentures and Bridges
Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth designed to replace multiple missing teeth. They restore both appearance and oral function.
Dental bridges, on the other hand, are fixed restorations that replace one or more missing teeth. They rely on crowns placed on the neighboring teeth to support the artificial tooth in between. During your appointment, we will shape the surrounding teeth to ensure the bridge fits comfortably and securely.
