Restorative Dentistry
Restorative Dentistry in Lyons & Spencer
Restorative dentistry is the name given to the collection of dental treatments that aim to restore the look and function of a person’s smile. Also sometimes known as prosthodontic dentistry, restorative dentistry is particularly focused on replacing missing teeth through a number of treatments. When a tooth is missing, it’s much more than simply an aesthetic issue. Without bridging the gap in your mouth, the rest of your teeth could shift, affecting the alignment of your bite and possibly even causing pain and discomfort. Likewise, you might have trouble eating and speaking when missing one or more teeth — as well as losing bone mass in your jaw.

At Green Dental, we offer our patients the latest treatment options when it comes to restorative dental services. Those treatments include:
- Dental implants, one of the most natural, effective, and long-lasting ways to replace missing teeth
- Dental bridges, which can be supported by implants or by the surrounding existing teeth nearest the gap
- Dentures, including partial, full, or implant-supported based on your individual needs and preferences
- Root canals and endodontics to root out dental pulp infections while striving to save your natural tooth
- Periodontal therapy, including scaling and root planing to help combat gum disease and preserve your teeth
We are proud to offer this range of treatments to our patients. All of these services are performed right here in our offices. You’ll never have to go through the inconvenience of a referral and trying to get to know a new dental professional just before an important procedure. We take care of everything here, providing comprehensive care that addresses your total health and quality of life.

Restorative Dentistry FAQs
Whether you’re dealing with a damaged tooth, an old filling that needs replacement, or missing teeth altogether, restorative dentistry at Green Dental is all about helping you regain a healthy, functional smile. We combine advanced techniques with a patient-first approach to ensure your care is both effective and comfortable. Here are some common questions to help guide your next steps.
What if I haven't been to the dentist in years—can I still get restorative treatment?
Absolutely. We welcome patients at any stage of their dental journey. Whether you need a single tooth repaired or full-mouth rehabilitation, we’ll meet you where you are and create a judgment-free plan to restore your smile at your own pace.
Can restorative dentistry help with bite problems or jaw pain?
Yes. When teeth are worn down, missing, or misaligned, your bite can become unbalanced, leading to discomfort in the jaw, headaches, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues. Restoring proper tooth structure and alignment can help improve the function of your jaw and reduce daily strain.
Are the materials used in restorations safe and long-lasting?
We use high-quality, biocompatible materials that are designed for both durability and aesthetic appeal. Whether it’s a fixed dental bridge, an implant-supported restoration, or dentures, our goal is to ensure your results not only last but also blend naturally with your smile.
I have several missing teeth—do I have options besides dentures?
Yes. In addition to traditional dentures, we offer dental implants, which provide a more stable and permanent solution. This option can help you chew, speak, and smile with greater confidence—and they often feel more like your natural teeth.
How long does it take to complete restorative treatment?
That depends on the type and extent of work needed. Some treatments, like dental bridges, can often be completed in two visits. More complex care plans involving implants or full-arch restoration may take several months. We’ll explain each phase clearly so you know what to expect.
Will I need to take time off work after my appointment?
Most restorative procedures allow you to return to your regular routine the same day or shortly after. If sedation or oral surgery is involved, we’ll discuss recovery time in advance and provide aftercare instructions to support a smooth healing process.
If you’re ready to improve your comfort, function, or confidence, we’re here to help. Call Green Dental today.
