Our Restorative Dentistry Services
We provide a comprehensive range of restorative treatments designed to address dental damage and bring your smile back to its optimal state.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone to act as a permanent root, providing unparalleled stability for a custom-made crown.
Dental implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, preserving your jawbone health and restoring your ability to eat and smile with complete confidence.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-fitted cap that covers a damaged, weakened, or decayed tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Using advanced CEREC technology, we can often design, create, and place a beautiful, durable porcelain crown in a single visit.
Crowns are ideal for repairing significant damage, protecting a tooth after a root canal, or covering a dental implant.
Dental Bridges
If you are missing one or more teeth in a row, a dental bridge can be an excellent solution. A bridge uses the teeth adjacent to the gap as anchors to support one or more artificial teeth, literally “bridging” the space.
This restores your smile’s appearance, prevents neighboring teeth from shifting, and helps you chew and speak properly again.
Fractured Tooth Repair
A cracked or fractured tooth requires immediate attention to prevent further damage and infection. Depending on the severity of the fracture,
Dr. Keefe can provide effective treatment options ranging from dental bonding for minor chips to a full dental crown for more significant breaks. Our goal is to save your natural tooth and restore its integrity.
Root Canals
When the soft pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, a root canal is necessary to save the tooth and alleviate pain. Dr. Keefe performs this procedure to carefully remove the infected pulp, clean the inside of the tooth, and seal it to prevent reinfection.
Thanks to modern techniques and anesthesia, a root canal is a comfortable procedure that can save your natural tooth from extraction.

Restorative Dentistry FAQs
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damage and restoring the health and function of your teeth (e.g., crowns, implants). Cosmetic dentistry, on the other hand, is primarily focused on improving the appearance of your smile (e.g., teeth whitening, veneers). However, many restorative treatments also offer significant cosmetic benefits.
No. We prioritize your comfort at every step. All restorative procedures are performed using effective local anesthetics to numb the treatment area. For patients with dental anxiety, we also offer sedation dentistry options to ensure a completely relaxed and pain-free experience.
The lifespan of a dental restoration depends on the type of treatment and how well you care for it. Dental implants can last a lifetime, while crowns and bridges can last for 15 years or more with proper oral hygiene, including daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups.
Most dental insurance plans provide coverage for restorative procedures like crowns, bridges, and root canals, as they are considered medically necessary. Our friendly office staff will help you understand your benefits and file your claim to maximize your coverage. We also offer flexible financing for any out-of-pocket costs.
