Restorative Dentistry in Stockton CA

Instead of the metal fillings you might have received years ago, our family dentistry in Stockton, CA provides bright, tooth-colored fillings made from composite resin. These fillings are quite durable and the composite resin is easy to work with your teeth and smile.

Our dentist's investment in a CEREC system for producing same-day crowns means that we can prepare your tooth for a crown, manufacture your crown in our own lab and secure it in place, all on the same day. The entire restorative dentistry process can normally be completed within a couple of hours. 

Inlays and onlays are better solutions than porcelain fillings when the area that needs restorative dentistry in Stockton CA, is large enough that it could weaken the tooth. A lab-created inlay or onlay provides an extremely strong solution in this case. An inlay fits into the chewing surface of your teeth without replacing any of the points (cusps) of the tooth. An onlay fits into the surface of your teeth and also replaces one or more cusps. 

A bridge treatment plan provides a durable, aesthetic replacement for one tooth or two missing teeth in a row. We will prepare your natural teeth as we would for crowns and then place a bridge consisting of two crowns and a replacement tooth (or teeth) in the middle of your teeth to fill the gap and restore your smile.

Creating partial or complete dentures that fit well and look completely natural is both a science and an art. We want our patients with dentures to be able to talk, eat, smile and laugh with confidence. Therefore, at our dentist in Stockton CA, we use the latest dental technology and materials available to create the restorative dentistry treatment plan of partial or complete dentures that look great and fit comfortably on your smile. 

When a tooth has been injured in an accident or has suffered deep decay causing the soft inner part of a tooth to become infected, we can still save the tooth with a root canal therapy treatment plan in Stockton CA. We will open the tooth, clean out infected tissue, sterilize the inside of the tooth canal all the way to the tip and fill it with clean, biocompatible material. We will then close the tooth and follow this procedure with a crown to help this tooth last for decades, possibly the rest of our patient’s life.
