Restorative Dentistry

Restorative Dentistry
in Auburn

Keep your smile feeling and functioning at its absolute best with restorative dentistry. From simple procedures like dental fillings, to more complex solutions like dental prosthetics and root canal therapy, restorative dentistry aims to revitalize decayed or damaged teeth. With our comprehensive restorative care, you can take back your overall oral health so you can eat, laugh, and smile with confidence.

Dental Fillings

Cavities are one of the most common oral diseases, so it's imperative we tackle them as soon as they begin to compromise the health and wellness of your teeth. When left untreated, they can cause serious discomfort and may require more invasive procedures to alleviate. Thanks to fillings, your dentist can halt the progression of tooth decay in a single visit. By stopping by for your regular 6-month cleaning and checkup, you can prevent new cavities from forming in the first place.

IV Sedation

Your treatment doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. If you’re feeling anxious, have a sensitive gag reflex, or are preparing for a complex procedure, IV sedation can help you relax deeply and confidently. This advanced sedation method creates a calm, dream-like state while keeping you conscious and responsive. Most commonly used for oral surgery and other advanced treatments, IV sedation is carefully tailored to your needs to ensure comfort, safety, and peace of mind every step of the way.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns restore damaged teeth by covering and protecting what remains of your natural tooth. When you have a cracked or broken tooth, these custom caps not only shield the root but also improve how your teeth work together when you bite. If you've had a root canal or dental implant, your dentist will typically recommend a crown to strengthen the treated tooth. With several material options available, crowns help both your dental health and appearance, giving you back a smile you can feel good about.

Root Canal Therapy

Toothaches can be a sign of a serious infection and cause significant discomfort. Fortunately, root canal therapy offers a solution to provide the relief you need and restore the health of your tooth. During a root canal procedure, the infected pulp of the tooth is removed, and the area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Once the tooth has been properly treated, it can be restored with a filling or a dental crown to help maintain its structure. Not only can root canal therapy alleviate the pain caused by the infection, but it can also prevent the need for a tooth extraction. By saving your natural tooth, you can smile with confidence and avoid more extensive and costly dental work down the line.

Extractions

Extractions are always a last resort because preserving your smile is our top priority. However, sometimes a problematic tooth causes more harm than good. In these cases, your dentist may recommend an extraction to restore your oral health. Using gentle techniques and local anesthesia, decayed or damaged teeth can be safely removed to relieve discomfort or make space for dental implants, a bridge, or another type of tooth replacement.

Dental Implants

Transform your smile and your life with dental implants that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Imagine rediscovering simple joys—biting into a crisp apple, laughing freely with friends, or speaking confidently in any situation—all without giving your teeth a second thought. Our expert team combines compassionate care with advanced technology to ensure your implant journey is comfortable and rewarding. No more compromising or hiding your smile; dental implants provide a permanent solution that seamlessly integrates with your remaining teeth, giving you back the complete, confident smile you deserve.

Dental Bridges

There's no need to keep covering up your mouth if a missing tooth is leaving a gap in your smile. With a dental bridge, the space left behind by one, or several, missing teeth can be permanently covered. The bridge is attached to your teeth on either side of the gap, so it won't slide around when you eat or speak. Your bridge also won't stand out from the rest of your smile — it can be color-matched to blend with your other teeth. Keep your teeth from shifting and reduce the risk of bone loss and problems with your bite by asking your dentist about a bridge. Schedule a consultation today to see if a dental bridge can help you complete your smile!

Dentures

Dentures are a removable, affordable solution that can complete your smile after missing one or all of your natural teeth. To ensure a natural look and feel, most dentures are made of a combination of acrylic and metal and are custom-crafted for a comfortable fit. Looking to see if dentures are right for you? Schedule a consultation to find out if a set of full or partial dentures can restore your bite. It's about time you got back to living your life with a smile.

Implant-Retained Dentures

Tired of your dentures slipping and sliding around in your mouth? Implant-retained dentures, also called overdentures or snap-on dentures, can replace all of your teeth, just like traditional dentures. However, instead of relying on suction or adhesive, they are secured in place with several dental implants. These removable appliances make it easy to keep up with your oral hygiene, and are made from a combination of acrylic and metal materials for enhanced durability.

Implant Crowns

After your dental implant has been affixed, your dentist will make the finishing touches by adding an implant crown! Dental crowns act as tooth "caps" that are fitted onto the implant. Your dentist will ensure the size and color of your implant crown matches with the rest of your other teeth, so you can have a seamless new smile.

What our patients are saying

Kind words from the community

The care I received at Center for Advanced Dentistry was exceptional! Dr Kauffman did an outstanding job on a front crown as well as several fillings that I needed. Her assistant Sydnie matched my crown perfectly to my natural tooth. They gave me back my confidence to smile again. I want to Thank you all for your care! My experience was nothing short of exceptional!

Teresa T.

I told both Dr. Kauffman and Sydnie that this the best experience with dental work I've ever had, and I've had a LOT of dental work. Other experiences were generally good but these two were GREAT! Would highly recommend them both.

For years I've always been self-conscious of my smile. My front teeth were a little crooked and gray from silver fillings. Now, they're beatiful! So natural looking! They match so well, you'd never know they were crowns! Thank you Dr. Bernstein and staff for such an amazing job. You made everything worth it!
