When Would I Need Restorative Dentistry?
The main goal of all restorative dentistry procedures is to get your teeth looking and feeling their finest. At our office in San Luis Obispo, we ensure that your restorative dentistry treatment will provide you with a fantastic smile while protecting your oral health.
If any of the following risk factors are affecting your smile or dental health, then it may be time to consider a consultation to see what our incredible team and restorative dentistry can do for you:
- Broken Tooth: If you have a broken tooth, it can be a painful experience, not to mention a potential hazard to your mouth’s soft tissue. It’s important to get damaged teeth fixed as soon as possible.
- Cracked Tooth: When the integrity of a tooth is compromised, it is often a warning sign that future dental damage is right around the corner including possible infection or breakage.
- Missing Teeth: Not only does a missing tooth expose the gum to a higher chance of gum disease, but it can also weaken your bite. Getting a natural-looking replacement is easy with our help!
- Facial Trauma: If you’ve suffered serious facial or dental trauma and are worried about your dental health, our compassionate team is here for you. During your consultation, we can go over all options available to ensure you are confident in your smile and oral health.
- Gum Disease: Your teeth can be compromised or even lost due to infection in your gums. If this has happened to you, we have comprehensive restoration procedures to restore your total oral health. If treated quickly enough, we can even preserve your natural smile.
- Tooth Decay: When bacteria gets into the inner parts of your tooth, it can cause extreme pain. We don’t want you to suffer through that. Let us know as soon as possible so we can soothe that pain quickly.
- Cavities: A cavity is a small hole or opening that forms in a tooth due to tooth decay. It occurs when the outer layer of the tooth, called the enamel, starts to break down due to acids produced by bacteria and sugars in the mouth. If left untreated, cavities can gradually grow larger and cause tooth pain, sensitivity, and potential damage to the tooth’s structure.
The above examples are just a few reasons to seek restorative dentistry. Your smile and well-being are important to us, so if you believe you can benefit from our restorative services, contact our office at 805-543-3016 and schedule a consultation.

Our Restorative Procedures
Our restorative dentistry services make it possible for our patients to experience great oral health, a complete smile, and increased confidence. Learn more about some of our restorative procedures:
Dental Implants
Dental Implants
A dental implant is made of a titanium post that is surgically attached to the jawbone, then covered with a dental crown. Dental implants are great for oral health because they act like natural teeth. They provide strength to the entire oral structure, an improved appearance, and increased comfort.
Dental Crowns
Dental Crowns
Your damaged or decayed tooth can look and feel natural again with a dental crown. Crowns are made to match the size and color of your original teeth in order to provide optimal comfort and appearance.
Dental Bridges
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a great option for treatment after tooth loss. A bridge is an artificial tooth that is anchored by two or more dental crowns on either side of it. Dental bridges can protect the face from sinking in and make eating and speaking much more comfortable.
Dental Fillings
Dental Fillings
When it comes to dealing with tooth cavities and similar dental issues, we have a great solution: composite fillings. These fillings not only feel comfortable and look good, but they’re also friendly to your body and blend in naturally. They’re also better at handling temperature changes compared to regular fillings.
