Restorative dentistry isn’t just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about enhancing your oral health and quality of life. These treatments:

In short, restorative care from Smile Hilliard is an investment in your long-term comfort, health, and confidence.
Every mouth is unique—and that’s why we take a personalized, conservative approach. Dr. Sanyk will conduct a full evaluation to assess your bite, existing dental work, and any damage or decay. Together, you’ll discuss your lifestyle, goals, and budget. Based on that, she’ll recommend options ranging from simple fillings to crowns, bridges, implants, or full-mouth restorations. From there, you’ll choose what works best for you.
The most frequently performed restorative treatment is dental fillings—ideal for repairing cavities or minor damage. They’re minimally invasive, cost-effective, and often completed in a single visit.
If your teeth are damaged, decayed, missing, or causing pain, restorative dentistry is usually the right path. It focuses on rebuilding structure and function. Cosmetic dentistry, by contrast, enhances the appearance of otherwise healthy teeth. For example:
A cavity or cracked tooth would be treated restoratively with a filling or crown.
A discolored but healthy tooth may be treated cosmetically with whitening or veneers.
Dr. Sanyk will help you determine which approach best fits your needs.
Longevity varies based on the type of restoration and your oral habits.
Fillings can last many years with excellent hygiene.
Crowns and bridges often endure a decade or more when cared for properly.
Implants are among the most durable, often lasting decades—or even a lifetime—with good maintenance. We can help with a restoration of an existing dental implant.
Routine check-ups, brushing, flossing, and wearing protective guards if needed will significantly extend the life of your restorations.
