Restorative Dentistry

in Houston's River Oaks

Cavities are one of the most common oral diseases, so it's imperative we tackle them as soon as they begin to compromise the health and wellness of your teeth. When left untreated, they can cause serious discomfort and may require more invasive procedures to alleviate. Thanks to fillings, your dentist can halt the progression of tooth decay in a single visit. By stopping by for your regular 6-month cleaning and checkup, you can prevent new cavities from forming in the first place.

Dental crowns are an excellent solution for restoring your smile if you’re dealing with cracked or broken teeth. These custom-made caps protect the natural root of your tooth while improving your bite’s function. Crowns are also commonly used to enhance the health and strength of your tooth following a root canal or dental implant. With a variety of material options, crowns offer both restorative and cosmetic benefits, helping you smile comfortably and confidently.

Toothaches can be a sign of a serious infection and cause significant discomfort. Fortunately, root canal therapy offers a solution to provide the relief you need and restore the health of your tooth. During a root canal procedure, the infected pulp of the tooth is removed, and the area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Once the tooth has been properly treated, it can be restored with a filling or a dental crown to help maintain its structure. Not only can root canal therapy alleviate the pain caused by the infection, but it can also prevent the need for a tooth extraction. By saving your natural tooth, you can smile with confidence and avoid more extensive and costly dental work down the line.

Extractions are always a last resort because preserving your smile is our top priority. However, sometimes a problematic tooth causes more harm than good. In these cases, your dentist may recommend an extraction to restore your oral health. Using gentle techniques, local anesthesia, and your choice of comfort options—from nitrous oxide and oral sedation to IV sedation or general anesthesia for complex cases—decayed or damaged teeth can be safely removed to relieve discomfort or make space for dental implants, a bridge, or another type of tooth replacement.

Transform your smile and your life with dental implants that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Imagine rediscovering simple joys—biting into a crisp apple, laughing freely with friends, or speaking confidently in any situation—all without giving your teeth a second thought. Our expert team combines compassionate care with advanced technology to ensure your implant journey is comfortable and rewarding. No more compromising or hiding your smile; dental implants provide a permanent solution that seamlessly integrates with your remaining teeth, giving you back the complete, confident smile you deserve.

There's no need to keep covering up your mouth if a missing tooth is leaving a gap in your smile. With a dental bridge, the space left behind by one, or several, missing teeth can be permanently covered. The bridge is attached to your teeth on either side of the gap, so it won't slide around when you eat or speak. Your bridge also won't stand out from the rest of your smile — it can be color-matched to blend with your other teeth. Keep your teeth from shifting and reduce the risk of bone loss and problems with your bite by asking your dentist about a bridge. Schedule a consultation today to see if a dental bridge can help you complete your smile!
