Restorative dentistry focuses on restoring damaged or missing teeth. Dental restoration procedures include fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures. Restorative dental care supports function, bite alignment, and overall oral health.
Our restorative dentist treats decay, fractures, and tooth loss. Restorative dental care includes replacing old dental restoration work. Tooth restoration helps restore function and reduces issues with chewing or sensitivity.
After restorative dentistry, our dentists provide clear recovery instructions. A dental restoration may require a short adjustment period. Regular care and follow-up visits help maintain results and support long-term oral health.

The cost of restorative dentistry depends on the treatment needed, such as fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, or dental implants. Many restorative treatments are often partially covered by dental insurance, unlike cosmetic procedures, helping make care more affordable. Gentle Dental also offers flexible financing options, including CareCredit® and payment plans, to help fit treatment into your budget.

Restoring damaged or missing teeth early can also help prevent more serious dental issues and higher treatment costs in the future.

Hear From Our Patients

Robert

Gentle Dental Brighton

I can't say enough good things about how I was treated at Gentle Dental Brighton over the last few years but more specifically recently when I had an infected root. Dr. Meyer was exceptional not just in her skills as a dentist, but how compassionate she was to the amount of pain I was in. She helped me from start to finish and even checked on me after the root canal. Not just a great dentist but a great person.

Michel

Gentle Dental Jamaica Plain

Dr. Mancini and his staff got me in for an appointment within an hour of my call and took care of a loose, temporary cap. To my surprise they were able to “install” my permanent crown even though the appointment for that procedure was scheduled a week later. Perfect fit! Made my day. Thank you Gentle Dental Jamaica Plain!

Denise

Gentle Dental Nashua

Best dental care around! Immaculate office. Staff is exceptional and truly caring. Dr. Anthony is the Best! He understands my anxiety. I am telling everyone to request an appointment at Gentle Dental Nashua!

Tom

Gentle Dental Wakefield

Just had my last implant visit and can now smile again! The whole process went smoothly. Hats off to Dr. Amin, Dr. Colon and Sheela. All three, along with the rest of the staff, were very professional and pleasant to work with. I have been a patient at this office for 10+ years and would recommend Gentle Dental Wakefield to anyone for their next dentist appointment!

Carolyn

Gentle Dental Belmont

This is an excellent dental practice with flexible scheduling and friendly staff. Hygienists and dentists are very knowledgeable and skilled. Would also recommend their periodontist. Prices are quite reasonable as well. The Saturday hours are a huge plus at this dentist in Belmont.

Laura

Gentle Dental Cambridge

I would definitely recommend my experience at Gentle Dental Cambridge in Porter Square. A truly wonderful team of talented people! And they are paired with the most up-to-date technology. My experience was terrific! I needed a root canal and crowns in addition to a cavity filling. I was in safe hands! From start to finish, I was treated well and the procedures were completed in a timely manner.
