Why Choose Restorative Dentistry?

Unlike preventive dentistry, which focuses on stopping dental problems before they start, restorative dentistry addresses issues after they occur. Common concerns include decay, worn enamel, trauma, or missing teeth.

 

Left untreated, these conditions can worsen—leading to infection, bone loss, or difficulty chewing. Our Sunnyvale dentists provide restorative dentistry using natural-looking materials such as composite resin, advanced technology, and precise techniques. These dental treatments restore strength, stability, and aesthetics to your smile, helping you eat, speak, and smile with total confidence.

Dental Fillings (Amalgam & Composite)

Dental fillings are one of the most common restorative treatments used to repair cavities caused by tooth decay. They prevent further damage, restore the tooth’s strength and function, and can be part of a broader treatment plan that may include root canal treatment or solutions for tooth loss.

Types of Fillings We Offer

  • Amalgam fillings: Durable, cost-effective, and long-lasting; ideal for back molars under heavy chewing pressure.
  • Composite fillings: Tooth-colored and natural-looking; bond seamlessly to teeth for an aesthetic alternative to silver fillings.

Benefits of Modern Fillings

  • Prevent further decay and dental disease
  • Restore chewing and speaking function
  • Blend naturally with teeth (with composites)
  • Strengthen damaged teeth

 

With precise treatment planning, dental fillings are a straightforward procedure that restores tooth strength, preserves oral health, and prevents further complications.

Inlays and Onlays

When cavities or damage are too large for fillings but not severe enough for crowns, inlays and onlays provide the perfect in-between option. Custom-made in a dental lab, these restorations fit precisely over a damaged surface of a tooth, helping protect the tooth root while the dentist removes only the decayed portions.

Inlays vs. Onlays

  • Inlays: Precisely fit within the occlusal grooves of the tooth.
  • Onlays: Extend over one or more cusps, covering the outer edges for additional structural support.

 

Inlays and onlays combine precision fit with aesthetic beauty, making them a superior option for restoring moderate dental damage.

Why Choose Inlays and Onlays?

  • Long-lasting, highly durable materials (ceramic or porcelain)
  • Preserve more natural tooth structure than crowns
  • Protect the tooth root while removing only decayed areas
  • Blend seamlessly with natural tooth color
  • Resistant to wear and decay

Dental Crowns

A dental crown, or “cap,” is a custom-made restoration that covers an entire tooth. Crowns are recommended when a tooth is significantly weakened or damaged and cannot be restored with a filling or onlay.

When Are Crowns Recommended?

  • Severely decayed, cracked, or worn-down teeth
  • Strengthening teeth after root canals
  • Restoring shape and function to broken teeth
  • Topping dental implants

Materials & Benefits

We provide crowns made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or porcelain-fused-to-metal, depending on your needs. Crowns provide:

 

  • Aesthetic improvement with natural-looking results
  • Long-term durability and protection
  • Restored chewing strength and stability

 

A crown doesn’t just protect what’s left of your tooth—it restores beauty, confidence, and function to your smile.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a reliable option for replacing one or more missing teeth. Anchored by crowns on the teeth beside the gap, bridges fill in the space with a lifelike artificial tooth, or pontic.

Replacing Missing Teeth

Bridges are custom-designed to match your natural teeth and restore balance to your bite. For patients looking for a non-removable solution that looks and feels natural, a dental bridge often delivers the ideal balance of function and beauty.

Benefits of Bridges

  • Prevents teeth from shifting or drifting
  • Restores chewing ability and clear speech
  • Supports facial structure and smile aesthetics
  • Provides a fixed, stable replacement

Root Canal Therapy

When decay or infection reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, pain and sensitivity follow. Instead of losing the tooth entirely, root canal therapy allows us to save and restore it.

What to Expect

During a root canal, the dentist removes the infected pulp, thoroughly cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it with a filling. In most cases, a crown is placed afterward to provide long-term protection and restore full function.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

  • Relieves pain and eliminates infection
  • Preserves your natural tooth structure
  • Restores chewing comfort and functionality

 

Thanks to modern technology and techniques, root canals today are comfortable and highly effective, offering relief and long-term benefits for patients.

Tooth Extractions

While saving natural teeth is always the goal, extractions may be required if a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to be saved.

Comfort-Focused Care

We use advanced anesthetics and gentle techniques to ensure your comfort during the process. For patients with dental anxiety, sedation options are also available. Our team also provides guidance for healing and replacement options, such as implants or bridges, so your smile stays complete and functional.

Common Reasons for Extraction

  • Severe decay or infection spreading to surrounding tissues
  • Advanced gum disease weakening support structures
  • Preparing for orthodontic treatment
  • Cracked or fractured teeth beyond restoration

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth often emerge during the late teens or early twenties, and for many people, they become problematic. Common issues include impaction, crowding of adjacent teeth, gum inflammation, or pain.

Procedure and Recovery

With modern methods, wisdom tooth extraction is safe and efficient. Most patients experience mild, short-term discomfort followed by a quick recovery. Removing problematic wisdom teeth early helps preserve alignment and prevent costly complications down the line.

Benefits of Removal

  • Prevents overcrowding and misalignment
  • Reduces risk of infection from partially erupted teeth
  • Eliminates discomfort and swelling
  • Protects against damage to surrounding molars
