Types of Dental Restorations
If you live in the 92103 area schedule an appointment with our dental office to learn more about the type of restorations that are available to correct your tooth. At Bella Vita Dental, we don’t believe that there is a one size fits all solution, but offer customized treatment plans based on the needs of each patient individually. This means that the restoration that works for your spouse is not necessarily the one that we will recommend for you.
Here are some of the common dental restorations that we offer:
When a tooth is missing a large portion of its enamel, a dental crown is the best type of restoration because it is a cap that completely surrounds the tooth. This way you can bite down with full force and not worry about being uncomfortable or damaging the tooth further. This is most frequently used after a root canal or when the tooth is severely cracked or chipped. Fortunately, they now come in all-ceramic and ceramic-on-metal in addition to the traditional all-metal material. This means that patients getting crowns for dental restorations can have natural looking teeth after the fact.
This popular solution, for patients throughout California, uses a bridge to replace a tooth without undergoing surgery. In this procedure, a dental crown is placed on the two teeth that surround the missing one. The crowns are used as anchors to hold a gum-colored bridge in place that the new tooth is secured to. The entire bridge is created in a local dental lab and will look completely natural by blending in with the surrounding teeth.
Dental implants permanently replace missing teeth with natural-looking, durable restorations. They restore function, prevent bone loss, and enhance your smile. Enjoy a strong, confident smile with dental implants!

Tooth-colored fillings
At Bella Vita Dental, we use tooth-colored fillings as a way to restore teeth that have had cavities. Once the decayed area of the tooth has been removed a filling is necessary to replace the missing enamel. Traditionally, this was done using silver amalgam but now we can complete dental restorations using materials that look natural so that when you smile, no one can tell that you had cavities.
Why Dental Restorations Are Necessary
Patients throughout California frequently need to repair teeth due to accidents. An accident can happen at any time. Whether it is a car wreck, sports injury, playing with the kids, or falling at work – teeth are often the victim of daily accidents and when they are, it is important to fix the tooth right away. Otherwise, the area can become infected along with being uncomfortable.
Restorations are also needed after a tooth becomes infected. When a patient gets a cavity, or a root canal is necessary, Bella Vita Dental can restore it so that the tooth can continue to function without needing to be removed. This is far better for your overall oral health since keeping your natural teeth is the best option in the long run.
Expertise Matters
Bella Vita Dental of Hillcrest is an expert at completing dental restorations and can do so in a way that is comfortable and natural looking. It is extremely important to work with an expert since it ensures that your restoration will blend in with your natural teeth. Patients throughout the 92103 area appreciate that once their tooth is restored, they can smile without worrying about how it looks. Additionally, working with an expert makes it possible to feel comfortable after a restoration. The restoration must be designed perfectly so that it fits with your existing bite and the surrounding teeth.
