Restorative Dentistry in Midtown Manhattan

Restorative dentistry repairs teeth that are decayed, cracked or worn down, and replaces teeth that are missing. The aim is comfortable chewing and a natural look while keeping as much of your own tooth as possible. Our on-site dental laboratory helps us make restorations such as crowns and bridges.

The four treatments in this group suit different situations:

• Dental fillings repair cavities and small breaks with tooth-colored material.
• Dental crowns cover a tooth that is too damaged for a filling, or a tooth that has had a root canal.
• Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth with false teeth attached to crowns on the neighboring teeth.
• Dentures are removable full or partial sets that replace many or all of the teeth in an arch.

The right repair depends on how much healthy tooth is left, where the tooth is and how you bite. Missing teeth can also be replaced with implants, which are described under implant dentistry. Dr. Avner will examine the tooth, take X-rays when needed and explain the options before you decide.
