Tooth-Colored Fillings
You may remember fillings that were made out of gold or silver-colored metal amalgam; such restorations have fallen out of favor due to their appearance and their tendency to expand and contract (which can damage the tooth over time). Today, composite resin is used to replace the parts of the tooth that have decayed away. This material can seep into the smallest pits of the tooth and bond directly with it, strengthening it from within. By carefully shade-matching the composite resin with your natural teeth, we can make it so the casual observer doesn’t even realize you have a filling.
Dental Crowns
In addition to fixing damaged teeth, dental crowns can also be placed as the final step of root canal treatment, and they can be used to make certain cosmetic changes to the mouth. Our dental office offers crowns made from gold, porcelain fused to metal, Emax (a lifelike ceramic), and zirconia. Gold crowns are highly durable and are often recommended for the teeth near the back of the mouth; other crown materials have a more natural appearance and are better suited for fixing the front teeth.
When Restorative Treatment Is Needed
Restorative dentistry addresses a wide range of conditions that compromise tooth structure, function, or aesthetics. Dr. Garrad recommends restorative treatment when cavities require filling, teeth are cracked or fractured, existing restorations are failing or outdated, teeth are severely worn from grinding or acid erosion, or when tooth structure has been compromised by decay or trauma.
Early intervention with conservative restorations prevents small problems from becoming complex ones that require more invasive and costly treatment.
Preserving Natural Tooth Structure
At Stone Street Dental, the guiding principle in restorative care is to preserve as much healthy, natural tooth structure as possible while effectively addressing the problem. Modern materials like composite resin bond directly to tooth structure, eliminating the need for the mechanical undercuts required by older amalgam fillings.
This conservative approach maintains the structural integrity of the tooth, reduces the likelihood of future fracture, and supports better long-term outcomes.
Digital Technology For Precise Restorations
Stone Street Dental uses intraoral scanning technology to capture precise digital impressions for crowns and other restorations. Digital impressions are more accurate than traditional impression materials, producing restorations with better fit, tighter margins, and more predictable long-term performance.
Advanced imaging, including cone beam CT technology, supports accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for complex restorative cases.
Restoring Function & Confidence
Restorative dentistry is not just about fixing teeth. It’s about restoring your ability to chew comfortably, speak clearly, and smile confidently. Dr. Garrad approaches every restorative case with attention to both function and aesthetics, ensuring the final result looks natural and performs reliably for years to come.
