Restoring Function, Comfort, and Confidence
Restorative dentistry covers the treatments that repair or replace teeth that have been damaged by decay, injury, or infection, or that are missing altogether. The goal is always the same, bringing back the strength, comfort, and appearance of a healthy, functional smile. At Belmont Dentistry in Scottsdale, restorative treatment is planned around what each tooth actually needs, from a single same-day crown to a full arch of new teeth, so patients only get the treatment that is truly called for.
Our Restorative Dentistry Services
Our restorative dentistry services address everything from a single damaged tooth to a full arch that needs to be rebuilt.
How We Determine the Right Restorative Treatment
A thorough exam and X-rays are the starting point for any restorative treatment, since the right option depends on exactly how much of the natural tooth structure remains and how the surrounding teeth and bone look. A tooth with a small amount of decay may only need a filling or a same-day crown, while one that cannot realistically be saved may call for an extraction followed by a bridge or implant. Every recommendation is explained clearly, including the alternatives, so the choice of treatment always makes sense before moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth to restore function, while cosmetic dentistry focuses primarily on appearance. Many restorative treatments at Belmont Dentistry also improve how a smile looks as a result.
This depends on how much healthy tooth structure remains after decay or damage is removed. An exam and X-rays help determine whether the tooth can be restored or whether extraction and replacement is the better long-term option.
With good care, crowns and bridges typically last ten to fifteen years or longer, and implants can last decades. Regular checkups at Belmont Dentistry help catch wear or other issues early.
Most restorative procedures are performed under local anesthetic, so patients do not feel pain during treatment. Sedation options are also available for patients who feel anxious about more involved procedures.
Yes. A gap left by a missing tooth can allow neighboring teeth to shift and the opposing tooth to drift, which is one reason replacing it with a bridge or implant is usually recommended.
No. Same-day crowns made with CEREC technology are custom shaded and shaped to match the surrounding teeth, just like a traditional lab made crown.
Many restorative treatments are covered at least in part by dental insurance, since they are considered medically necessary rather than purely cosmetic. Our front office at Belmont Dentistry can help verify specific benefits before treatment begins.
A consultation typically includes a full exam, any needed X-rays and a conversation about the available options for the tooth or teeth in question. Patients in Scottsdale leave with a clear plan and a good understanding of what to expect.
