The Importance Of Restorative Care
Restorative dental care goes beyond simply fixing damaged teeth. It helps prevent more serious oral health issues and preserves the integrity of your smile. Issues such as cavities, tooth damage, or missing teeth can cause:
- Shifting teeth: When a tooth is missing, adjacent teeth may shift, leading to alignment and bite issues.
- Bone loss: Missing teeth can lead to bone loss in the jaw, affecting your facial structure and oral health.
- Gum disease: Gaps from missing teeth can trap food and bacteria, increasing the risk of gum disease.
- Difficulty chewing and speaking: Damaged or missing teeth can impact your ability to eat and speak comfortably.
Restorative care addresses these concerns, helping you maintain a strong, healthy smile for years to come.
Restorative Services We Offer
At Lakeview Family Dental, we offer a comprehensive range of restorative services to help restore your smile and oral health. Our services are designed to improve both function and aesthetics, giving you a smile that looks great and works well.
Fillings are used to treat cavities and repair minor damage to your teeth. At our practice, we use tooth-colored composite fillings that blend naturally with your existing teeth, making them an excellent choice for both function and aesthetics.

Root canal therapy is necessary when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or damaged. This procedure removes the infection, alleviates discomfort, and saves the tooth from extraction, ensuring you maintain your natural tooth structure.
- Saves your natural tooth and preserves the integrity of your bite.
- Alleviates discomfort and prevents the infection from spreading.
- Helps avoid tooth loss and more extensive procedures.
Crowns, or caps, are used to restore teeth that are significantly damaged, decayed, or weakened. Custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, crowns protect and restore the tooth while enhancing your smile’s appearance. With same-day crown technology, we offer quick, convenient restoration.

When a tooth is severely damaged or decayed beyond repair, an extraction may be necessary to protect your overall oral health. Removing the affected tooth can prevent infection and further complications, and we’ll guide you through options for replacing the tooth afterward.

- Supports your oral health by removing damaged teeth.
- Tooth replacement options are available post-extraction.
Bridges are a fixed solution used to replace one or more missing teeth. They are anchored by crowns on the surrounding teeth and fill the gap left by the missing tooth or teeth. Bridges restore your smile’s appearance and function while preventing neighboring teeth from shifting.

Dentures and partials offer a reliable solution for patients missing several or all teeth. Full dentures replace an entire arch, while partials are used when some natural teeth remain. Both are custom-fitted to provide a natural-looking, comfortable solution.
