Restorative Dentistry Provider · Sunnyvale, CA

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged, decayed, or missing teeth to restore proper function and appearance. Unlike preventative care that aims to keep problems from developing, restorative treatments address existing issues that affect your ability to bite, chew, and speak comfortably. These procedures range from simple tooth-colored fillings that repair minor cavities to complex full-mouth reconstructions that transform severely compromised smiles. Smile Craft Dental’s advanced technology, including same-day CEREC capabilities and digital imaging, allows for precise treatment planning and efficient restoration of your smile.

Personalized treatment plans that rebuild function and protect your long-term oral health.

Which Restorative Treatment Is Right for You?

From a simple filling to a full-arch restoration, here are the restorative treatments we offer in Sunnyvale:

Dental Crowns

A custom-fabricated cap that covers a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and natural appearance.

Dental Bridges

Anchors replacement teeth to the natural teeth on either side of a gap, filling the space and preventing teeth from shifting.

Dentures & Partials

Complete or partial dentures restore eating, speaking, and smiling for patients missing multiple teeth, custom-fit for comfort.

Composite Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings restore a tooth's structure after decay, blending seamlessly with your natural tooth color.

Dental Implants

A titanium post and custom crown replace a missing tooth permanently, preserving jawbone and functioning like a natural tooth.

Gum Disease Treatment

Treats infection and inflammation below the gumline to protect the bone and tissue that support your teeth.

Benefits of Choosing Restorative Care

Investing in restorative dentistry delivers improvements that touch every aspect of your daily life. The most immediate benefit is restored function, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without pain or hesitation and speak clearly without worrying about how damaged teeth affect your pronunciation. Beyond these quality-of-life improvements, restorative treatments protect your long-term oral health by preventing the domino effect that occurs when dental problems go unaddressed — bite misalignment, jaw joint problems, additional tooth loss, and facial structure changes.

Your restorative treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your goals — here's what happens next.

Restorative Dentistry Cost & Financing
The cost of restorative dentistry varies based on the treatment needed and the extent of damage. Most PPO plans cover restorative procedures like fillings, crowns, and bridges, and Cherry financing is available for any remaining costs. Call (650) 822-0803 to schedule your consultation and get a personalized estimate.

How Long Do Restorative Treatments Last?

Longevity varies by treatment: fillings typically last 7 to 10 years, crowns 10 to 15 years, and dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. We monitor your restorations at each checkup and can repair or replace them as needed.

Caring for Your Restoration

Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, and floss regularly to keep the area around your restoration clean. Avoid biting hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails. If you grind your teeth at night, we may recommend a custom nightguard to protect both restored and natural teeth.

Direct vs. Indirect Restorations

Not all restorations use the same approach — here's how direct and indirect restorations compare.

Factor Direct Restorations (Fillings) Indirect Restorations (Crowns, Bridges, Veneers) Where It’s Made In the mouth, in a single visit Custom-fabricated outside the mouth, then bonded or cemented in place Visits Required Completed in one visit Requires impressions and a lab turnaround, usually two visits Best For Smaller areas of decay Larger areas of damage or missing teeth Durability Good, repairable Strong, long-lasting with proper care
