Make Your Smile as Good as New With a Dental Restoration
Whether you have a cavity or a broken tooth, you’ll find a restorative dental treatment that will make your smile as good as new. You may need:
- Tooth Fillings – To fix your tooth and protect your long-term health, we use only biocompatible, mercury-free fillings. Non-metal fillings also blend easily into your smile, with no distracting silver spots. Dr. Sommer is also certified in the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology’s Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART), so he can safely remove metal fillings
- Dental Crowns – A crown can repair many kinds of damage, including cavities too large for fillings, breaks, and cracks. With digital scanning technology, it’s less messy and more comfortable to make dental impressions for your crown
- Inlays or Onlays – These restorations may be a good choice for cavities that are too big to be repaired with fillings but not large enough to require crowns

Replace Teeth to Feel Like Yourself Again
Nothing changes how your smile feels and functions as much as missing teeth. We have several teeth replacement options, one of which will be right for you:
- Dental Implants – Implants can be used to replace any number of teeth. Dr. Sommer both places and restores them, so you won’t need to visit another doctor for any part of your implant procedure
- Dental Bridges – You can replace one tooth or fill a gap left by several missing teeth with a bridge. Unlike removable dentures, bridges stay fixed in place

Common Questions
About Restorative Dentistry
Why would I need restorative dentistry?
A patient needs restorative dentistry when an oral health problem has led to a situation where some component of their smile is not functioning properly. If you are unable to chew the foods that keep your body nourished, that is a great reason to explore your options in this area. Our team will help you figure out which treatment or combination of treatments best suits your needs and budget.
What is considered restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry seeks to repair teeth that are damaged, gums that are diseased, and an oral cavity that is not functioning at full capacity. At our holistic practice, restorative solutions include metal-free tooth-colored fillings, dental crowns, dental implants, and more. Restoring what has been missing from a patient’s smile, and their life in general, is one of Dr. Sommer’s favorite aspects of being a dentist.
What does aesthetic restorative dentistry mean?
Restorative dentistry is concerned with restoring form and function to a smile. This means we will be helping you to chew better or speak more clearly and other such things. Still, with some of our restorative treatments, we can also boost your appearance in the process. That is what would be called aesthetic restorative dentistry. Dental implants are a great example of this.
