Solutions for Every Dental Need

Our Restorative Services

Dental Fillings

Restore decayed or damaged areas of teeth with our tooth-colored composite fillings. Unlike old-fashioned metal fillings, our aesthetic composites blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color while effectively sealing out bacteria and strengthening the tooth structure. The procedure is quick, comfortable, and preserves maximum healthy tooth structure.

Common Questions About Restorative Dentistry

The lifespan of dental restorations varies based on the type of restoration, materials used, location in the mouth, and your oral hygiene habits. With proper care, fillings typically last 7-10 years, crowns and bridges 10-15 years, and dentures 5-10 years before needing replacement or adjustment. Regular dental check-ups help us monitor your restorations and address any issues early.

Absolutely. We use advanced materials and techniques to ensure restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Dr. Santos takes great care to match the color, translucency, and shape of your existing teeth, creating restorations that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, especially for restorations visible when you smile.

Your comfort is our priority. We use effective local anesthesia to ensure you don't feel pain during procedures. For patients with dental anxiety or those undergoing complex treatments, we offer sedation options to help you relax. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable modern restorative procedures can be, especially in our gentle, patient-focused practice.

While we offer several excellent tooth replacement options, dental implants are generally considered the gold standard because they replace both the root and crown of the missing tooth. However, the best option for you depends on your specific situation, health factors, and budget. Dr. Santos will thoroughly explain all suitable options to help you make an informed decision.
