Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged teeth and replacing missing teeth so your smile looks, feels, and functions its best. At Crosstown Hershey Dental, restorative care is designed to relieve discomfort, restore chewing strength, and protect your long-term oral health—often while maintaining a natural, seamless appearance.

Common restorative services include tooth-colored fillings to treat cavities and replace older restorations. When a tooth is weakened by decay, cracking, or a large filling, a dental crown may be recommended to reinforce the tooth and restore normal shape and bite function. For teeth that have more extensive damage or infection, root canal therapy can save the natural tooth by removing infected tissue, sealing the tooth, and restoring it with a strong, protective crown when needed.

If you are missing one or more teeth, restorative options can rebuild your smile and prevent shifting of neighboring teeth. Dental bridges can replace a missing tooth by anchoring to adjacent teeth, while implant restorations provide a stable, long-lasting solution that looks and feels like a natural tooth. Dentures—full or partial—may also be recommended depending on your needs, preferences, and bone support.

Restorative dentistry isn’t only about appearance. Restoring proper bite alignment can reduce jaw strain, protect remaining teeth from excessive wear, and improve speech and comfort. Your care begins with a thorough exam and digital imaging when appropriate, allowing your dentist to recommend the most conservative and durable solution.

Crosstown Hershey Dental takes a patient-focused approach, explaining your options clearly and tailoring treatment to your goals, timeline, and budget. With modern materials and techniques, restorative dentistry can help you regain confidence, comfort, and the ability to eat and smile without worry.
