Restorative dentistry is essential for bringing your smile back to full function and aesthetics. It helps restore both oral health and confidence by replacing or repairing damaged teeth with long-lasting solutions.


Some of the key benefits of restorative dentistry include:

Our Restorative Dentistry Services


At Greenbriar Dental Care, we offer a variety of restorative dentistry treatments to meet your needs. Here are the main services we provide:


Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are used to treat cavities and restore the function of a tooth that has been damaged by decay. At Greenbriar Dental Care, we use composite resin fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing an aesthetic and functional restoration. We also offer amalgam fillings for patients who prefer a more traditional option.


Crowns

A dental crown is a cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. Crowns are commonly used for teeth that have large fillings, have been weakened by decay, or are cracked. We offer porcelain crowns that are durable, natural-looking, and designed to match your surrounding teeth.


Bridges

If you're missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge can fill the gap by attaching artificial teeth to the neighboring natural teeth. Bridges are fixed, non-removable restorations that restore your ability to chew and speak properly while improving the appearance of your smile. We offer porcelain bridges for a natural and durable solution to missing teeth.


Dental Implants

Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, and a custom crown is placed on top to restore the missing tooth. Implants are highly durable, functional, and natural-looking, providing a long-term solution to tooth loss. Implants can also support bridges or dentures for patients who are missing multiple teeth.


Root Canals

Root canal therapy is used to treat an infected tooth and save it from extraction. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp inside the tooth, cleaning the area, and sealing it with a material to prevent further infection. After a root canal, the tooth is often restored with a crown to protect it and restore its function.


Full and Partial Dentures

If you’re missing several or all of your teeth, dentures are a great solution for restoring the function and appearance of your smile. We offer full dentures for patients who are missing all of their teeth and partial dentures for those who still have some natural teeth remaining. Dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth securely and comfortably.


Veneers

While not typically considered a restorative treatment, porcelain veneers can improve the appearance of worn-down teeth. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are placed on the front of your teeth to cover imperfections, restore worn enamel, and give you a brighter, more youthful smile.

Frequently asked questions 

  • What is cosmetic dentistry?

    Cosmetic dentistry involves procedures designed to improve the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. Common services include teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, smile makeovers, and Invisalign. These treatments can address issues such as stains, gaps, crooked teeth, and worn-down enamel.

  • How do I know if I need dental implants?

    If you're missing one or more teeth, dental implants may be the ideal solution. Dental implants are permanent, durable, and restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile. We’ll evaluate your oral health during a consultation to determine if you’re a good candidate for implants.

  • What are the benefits of professional teeth whitening?

    Professional teeth whitening provides faster, safer, and more effective results than over-the-counter products. It helps remove stains caused by coffee, tea, tobacco, and aging, providing you with a brighter smile that lasts longer. At Greenbriar Dental Care, we offer both in-office and take-home whitening options to meet your needs.

  • How long does the process of getting braces take?

    The duration of your braces treatment depends on the complexity of your alignment issues. On average, braces are worn for 18 months to 2 years. After the braces are removed, you’ll need to wear a retainer to maintain your results. We provide both traditional metal braces and Invisalign clear aligners.

  • What is the difference between a dental crown and a dental filling?

    Dental crowns are used to cover and restore teeth that are severely damaged, weakened, or have large cavities. A dental filling is typically used for small to moderate cavities, where the decay is removed, and the cavity is filled with material like composite resin or amalgam.

  • Are dentures better than dental implants?

    Dental implants offer a more permanent, stable solution compared to dentures, which are removable. Implants provide better comfort, improved chewing function, and prevent bone loss in the jaw. However, dentures are more affordable and can be an option if you prefer a removable solution for missing teeth.

  • Is it safe to get dental treatment while pregnant?

    In most cases, dental treatments like cleanings, exams, and fillings are safe during pregnancy. We recommend that you inform us if you’re pregnant so we can adjust your treatment plan accordingly. We may avoid certain procedures or medications during your pregnancy, particularly during the first trimester.

  • What is periodontal disease, and how can I prevent it?

    Periodontal disease (gum disease) is an infection of the gums that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. It starts with gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and can progress to periodontitis, which affects the bone and supporting structures. To prevent gum disease, practice good oral hygiene, visit your dentist regularly, and avoid smoking or excessive alcohol consumption.

  • How do I know if my child needs braces?

    We recommend an initial orthodontic evaluation for your child around the age of 7 to check for any early signs of misalignment or bite issues. Early intervention may be beneficial in guiding the development of their teeth and jaw. If needed, we offer both traditional braces and Invisalign for kids and teens.

  • How can sedation dentistry help with dental anxiety?

    Sedation dentistry helps patients with dental anxiety relax during procedures. Options like nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, and IV sedation ensure that you’re comfortable and pain-free. These options are perfect for patients undergoing lengthy treatments or those who feel anxious about dental visits.
