Our Restorative Dentistry Options

Comprehensive restorative dentistry services in Wicker Park, covering the full range of repair options from a single weakened tooth to a full arch.

Dental Crowns

A crown covers a weakened or damaged tooth to protect it and restore its shape. We often use same-day crown technology, so you can walk in with a problem tooth and walk out with it fixed.

Dental Bridges

A bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement tooth to the teeth next to it. This helps keep your bite even and stops nearby teeth from shifting out of place over time.

Dental Implants & Implant Restoration

Implants replace a missing tooth from the root up, giving you a stable, natural-feeling result. They're a long-term option for patients who want a replacement that functions like a real tooth.

Full & Partial Dentures

For patients missing several teeth or a full arch, full or partial dentures restore your ability to chew and speak with confidence. We design each set to fit comfortably and look natural.

Root Canal Therapy

When a tooth's inner nerve is infected or irritated, root canal therapy saves the natural tooth instead of removing it. Modern techniques and gentle sedation options make this a far more comfortable visit than most patients expect.

What to expect

What to Expect: Your Restorative Care Visit

Your first visit starts with a conversation and a gentle exam, often paired with digital imaging so we can see exactly what's going on beneath the surface. From there, Dr. Sanders will walk you through your options in plain language. No confusing jargon. We build a plan around your goals, your timeline, and your comfort level. If you feel nervous about treatment, ask us about our sedation and comfort care options, including nitrous oxide and oral sedation.
What happens if you delay treatment.: Putting off a needed repair doesn't just leave the problem where it is. It can let a small issue grow into a bigger one. Acting sooner rather than later is one of the simplest ways to protect your smile, save the natural tooth structure you still have, and often keep future treatment simpler and more affordable.

PATIENT INFORMATION

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a crown, bridge, or implant?

It depends on how much of the tooth is left and whether the tooth is missing entirely. A crown works when the tooth structure is still there but weak. A bridge or implant replaces a tooth that is gone. Dr. Sanders can tell you which option fits your smile after a short exam.

Does insurance cover restorative dental work?

Many restorative treatments, like crowns, bridges, and root canals, are at least partly covered by dental insurance. We accept plans from Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and other major providers. Our team will help you understand your benefits before treatment begins.

Is restorative dentistry painful or uncomfortable?

We use gentle techniques and numbing options to keep you comfortable throughout treatment. For patients who feel nervous, we also offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation. Most patients tell us they feel much more relaxed than they expected once treatment starts.

Give Your Smile Back Its Strength and Confidence

You don't have to live with a tooth that hurts, feels weak, or is missing altogether. Our team is ready to help you find the restorative option that fits your smile, your schedule, and your comfort level.
