Doctor Emilee Pilkington Talks about Restorative Dentistry

So we see patients who may need one simple filling, you know, may see it needed that to be restored and, you know, we take care of that all the way to someone who would need, you know, their full mouth restored, whether that be through crowns or through partials or through dentures or through implants, just depending on what that patient needs. I mean, we offer crowns, we offer partials, we offer dentures and then dental implants as well to help them restore that smile. The mouth is the gateway to the body and so I think your oral health being the best that it can be really does affect your entire overall health.

So I think, you know, restoring that smile is not just, I think some people think, oh, that's selfish, that's just, you know, the aesthetics, but that's not all that we're after. We're also after making sure that that smile is comfortable and functional so that you're able to eat and you're able to chew all different kinds of foods and really, you know, improve your overall health and nutrition in that way.

Eat Comfortably Again With Restorative Care

Whether you're repairing one tooth or rebuilding your entire smile, we make the process easy, efficient, and tailored to you. You can expect:

  • Same-Day Crowns - We can craft and place custom crowns in one visit. This reduces wait time and eliminates the need for temporaries.
  • In-House Dental Implant Placement - Your implant care is handled here by a team you already know and trust. No outside referrals are needed.
  • Advanced Imaging - Digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and 3-D scans give us a complete view of your dental health. Nothing is overlooked.
  • Comfort-First Environment - With private care rooms, cozy amenities, and sedation options, we make your restorative procedures as stress-free as possible.

Find Restorative Treatment Built Around Your Needs

No two smiles are the same. That's exactly how we approach your restoration. We treat you like the individual you are. Whether you need a simple filling, you're replacing several missing teeth, or you're rebuilding your entire bite, we have solutions for you. You can visit us for:

  • Tooth Fillings - We offer traditional metal and tooth-colored composite materials. Both can repair cavities and stop decay in its tracks.
  • Dental Crowns - Our crowns are made in our office using advanced CEREC milling technology. You get fast, precise results. There's no need for a temporary crown or return visit to our office.
  • Onlays - If a full crown isn't necessary, an onlay gives you a conservative alternative. It repairs part of your tooth while keeping healthy structure intact.
  • Dental Implants - We place implants right here in our office to replace missing teeth. You gain a stable foundation for your custom restorations. Implants can be paired with crowns, bridges, or dentures.
  • Dental Bridges - If you're missing several teeth in a row, a bridge can close the gaps. Your dentist can anchor them securely to implants or to nearby teeth.
  • Dentures - Whether you need dentures, partials, temporary solutions, or implant-supported options, we'll give you back your complete smile.
  • Root Canal Therapy - Your dentist can perform many root canals right here in our office. For more complex cases, we'll connect you with a trusted specialist.

Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dentistry

What’s the difference between restorative and cosmetic dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on rebuilding or replacing teeth to improve function, health, and comfort. Cosmetic dentistry enhances the appearance of your smile. Often, restorative treatments like crowns, implants, or dentures provide both functional and cosmetic benefits. Our goal is to help you chew, speak, and smile with confidence again.

How long do dental restorations last?
It depends on the type of restoration and how well it's maintained. Fillings may last several years, while crowns, bridges, and dentures can last much longer with proper care. We'll review your home care routine, check your restorations during regular visits, and give you guidance on how to extend their lifespan.
What happens if I delay treatment for a damaged tooth?
Delaying treatment can lead to worsening decay, infection, or tooth loss. A small cavity may require only a filling now, but could lead to a root canal or extraction later. We're here to help you address issues early, when treatment is simpler, more affordable, and more comfortable.
