What Is Restorative Dentistry?

  • Dental Bridges
  • Dental Crowns
  • Dental Fillings
  • Dental Implants
  • Dentures

In addition to restoring the function and utility of damaged or missing teeth, restorative treatments can also serve as cosmetic enhancements, specifically for treatments that replace natural teeth in their entirety.

Our Restorative Dentistry Services

At DeStefano Dentistry, we provide comprehensive restorative dentistry services for all our patients. Read more about the services we offer to help you have a complete and refreshed smile.

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that fit snugly over a natural tooth or on top of a dental implant. They are an excellent option if you have a broken tooth and need to improve its function. At DeStefano Dentistry, we provide both traditional and same-day crowns. 

Traditional crowns are prepped and then sent to a lab for fabrication, so you’ll have to wait a week or two for the final crown and fitting. With CEREC same-day crowns, your crown is created in our office using a specialized 3D printer. So, you can receive your crown in just one visit.

Dental fillings are the most common restorative dentistry treatment. Many people have cavities that need to be removed. And, these days, fillings are more natural-looking and easier to get than ever before.

We use composite dental fillings that match the shade of your natural teeth. We also provide the Lightwalker laser system for small fillings. With this option, you won’t even need anesthesia. 

Our entire team works hard to create a comfortable environment with cutting-edge dental technology. So, call today if you suspect you have a cavity!

Dental implants are one of the stronger, most durable options for restoring missing or damaged teeth. The dental implant post is placed fully into your jaw. Then, an artificial tooth, usually a crown, dental bridge, or denture arch, attaches on top.

Dr. DeStefano provides many dental implant options, including single implants, implant bridges, and implant-supported dentures. So, whether you have one missing or broken tooth or need to restore your entire mouth, he provides meticulous implant dentistry.

While root canals have an unfair reputation, they are actually vital restorative dentistry treatments that prevent tooth loss. When a tooth becomes decayed, it can be extremely sensitive and painful.

A root canal removes the infection and restores the tooth. With a root canal, you’ll no longer live in pain and can save your natural tooth. Today’s root canals are more comfortable than ever before. We also provide sedation dentistry for patients with dental anxieties.

Individualized Treatment Plans

Restorative dentistry is an excellent way to help ensure your teeth remain healthy and your smile bright and beautiful. Most restorative treatments can be completed in only one dental visit, but some are more extensive and require more appointments to complete.

StellaLife® Vega® Oral Recovery

Have you recently undergone more intensive dental treatment? At DeStefano Dentistry, we offer the StellaLife® VEGA® Oral Care Recovery Kit in Pittsford, New York. This product is a perfect option to help patients have a smoother recovery after treatment.

The StellaLife VEGA Oral Care Recovery Kit is an antimicrobial medicine used to encourage healing and prevent infection after oral surgery, such as tooth extraction, dental implants, or periodontal procedures. It is opioid-free and is comprised of a 3-step treatment:

  • Topical Gel: The topical gel works to hydrate the treatment area, accelerate healing, and promote healthy gums.
  • Antibacterial Rinse: This rinse targets harmful bacteria and prevents infection during and after the healing process.
  • Sublingual Spray: This spray targets the soft tissue in the mouth and is used for pain relief. It reduces discomfort and inflammation.

Patient comfort is important to us. Our dentist and team recommend the StellaLife VEGA Oral Care Recovery Kit as a fast-acting, homeopathic product designed to accelerate recovery after treatments while reducing the need for prescription pain medication. 

The goal of using this product is to help our patients recover quickly, safely, and with the minimal amount of discomfort possible.
