Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing teeth that have been affected by decay, injury, or wear, and on replacing teeth that have been lost. The goal is to return a tooth—or a full set of teeth—to comfortable, everyday function while keeping the rest of the mouth healthy. At Brighton Family Dentistry in Brooklyn, NY, we offer a range of restorative options so patients can address damage or missing teeth in a way that fits their specific situation.

Common Restorative Treatments

Fillings — used to repair teeth affected by cavities or minor decay.
Crowns — cover and protect a tooth that has been weakened or extensively treated.
Inlays & Onlays — a middle-ground repair for damage too large for a filling but not requiring a full crown.
Root Canals — address infection or damage inside the tooth while preserving the natural tooth structure.
Bridges — replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighboring teeth.
Dentures & Denture Repair — replace multiple or all missing teeth, with repair options to extend the life of existing dentures.
Dental Implants & Implant-Supported Dentures — provide a fixed foundation for replacement teeth.

When Full Mouth Reconstruction Is Considered

When decay, tooth loss, or wear affects several teeth at once, a combination of restorative treatments may be planned together as part of a full mouth reconstruction, rather than addressing each tooth separately.
