What Restorative Dentistry Can Do for You
Restorative dental treatments relieve discomfort, restore chewing and speech ability, and prevent future complications. Crowns, bridges, and dentures are crafted to replicate natural tooth anatomy and function—helping you eat with confidence and maintain facial structure integrity.
How We Plan Your Restoration
Every treatment begins with an assessment of your oral health, bite, and dental history. Using digital scans and X-rays, Dr. Parrella will guide you to the optimal restorative option—whether it’s a filling, crown, bridge, or denture.
Many restorations are crafted using CAD/CAM technology for precision, faster turnaround, and top-tier fit.

Restorative Dentistry FAQ
All the answers to your questions can be found here, and if a new question pops up, don't worry feel free to call us
Direct restorations (like fillings) are placed in your mouth during one visit. Indirect restorations (like crowns, bridges, and dentures) are fabricated outside the mouth for a custom, durable fit.
With good care, composite fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures can endure many years—often a decade or more—depending on material, wear, and hygiene routines.
Dentures are best when multiple teeth are missing or extraction is necessary. Implant-supported restorations may offer more stability and comfort in suitable cases. We’ll review your anatomy and goals to recommend what’s best for you.
