Restorative Dentistry: Rebuild Your Smile with High-quality Dental Restorations

Damaged, decayed, or missing teeth can limit what you eat and how you speak and smile. Luckily, restorative dentistry can restore your smile’s beauty and health. With dental crowns, fillings, implants, dentures, and bridges, Arrowhead Dentistry can end pain, restore function, and rebuild your confidence. Visit Dr. John Upton to discover the joy of living with a healthy, confident smile.

What treatments are included in restorative dentistry?

Your teeth are resilient, but they aren’t indestructible. Decay, injuries, and everyday wear can compromise the structural integrity of your teeth, diminishing their functionality and appearance.

Here are ways we can restore your smile.

  • Dental Fillings: Minor tooth damage is easily treated with a dental filling. The procedure is painless and minimally invasive. Our office uses composite fillings because of their life-like appearance, durability, and safety record.
  • Biomimetic Restorations:  When damage to a tooth requires more than a filling, a biomimetic restoration involving the meticulous layering of materials that closely imitate natural tooth structure may be the best option for treatment.
  • Dental Inlays and Onlays:  In many instances, an inlay or onlay can restore a tooth, requiring less removal of natural tooth structure than a crown.  Our goal is to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible, and inlays or onlays (sometimes referred to as overlays) allow that.
  •  Dental Crowns: When damage is severe, the dentist will recommend a dental crown for long-lasting results. A dental crown encapsulates the entire tooth, rebuilding its structure and aesthetics. Our dental crowns are created from resilient materials to withstand everyday use. They are also life-looking, blending seamlessly with your smile.
  • Dental Implants: Have you lost one or multiple teeth? Fill gaps in your smile with dental implants, the most advanced tooth-replacement system. They are anchored in the jawbone, providing stability, a natural feel, and long-term durability.
  • Dentures: Dentures are popular for their simplicity and affordability. Modern dentures are crafted from premium materials and with artistic excellence to achieve durable, life-like results.
  • Dental Bridges: Are you ineligible for implants and don’t fancy dentures? Your Glendale restorative dentist can replace missing teeth with dental bridges that look and feel like natural teeth.

We blend years of experience with advanced technology to create restorations that restore your function and bite stability without affecting aesthetics. Everything is carefully planned to ensure your smile feels as good as it looks.

What are the benefits of restorative dentistry?

Repairing one or more damaged teeth makes you feel like yourself again. You can enjoy the simple joys of life without limits.

Here are the benefits of restorative dentistry in Glendale, Arizona.

  • Renewed confidence: When your smile comes full circle, you’ll speak and smile confidently in personal, social, and professional settings. You have nothing holding you back, so you can express the best version of yourself.
  • Enhanced oral function: Finally, you can enjoy all your favorite foods without pain or sensitivity.
  • Prevent further damage: Untreated dental damage results in more damage. Dental restorations stop the destructive cycle of failing teeth, saving you costly repairs.
  • Enhanced aesthetics: It’s not just your oral functionality that improves—dental restorations enhance the appearance of your teeth and gums.
  • Long-term value: Dental crowns and fillings strengthen your teeth, reducing the risk of unexpected emergencies or breakdowns.

Does insurance cover restorative dentistry?

Your insurance plan will likely cover your dental restoration if it’s deemed medically necessary. However, it’s essential to understand that each coverage is unique. We’ll check the scope of your coverage and outline benefits before treatment. We’ll also discuss how to make your treatment affordable with our financing options.
