What is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry encompasses a range of dental treatments designed to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth. The goal is to restore the functionality of your bite, improve your oral health, and enhance the overall appearance of your smile. Whether you need a simple filling or a more complex procedure like a dental implant, our experienced team at Premier Dental Care of Buckhead is here to guide you through the process.
Comprehensive Dental Restoration Solutions
Our goal is to provide comprehensive diagnostics and educate our patients to help them make informed choices about their care. Our team builds relationships with patients, explains treatment options, and provides the information they need to determine the best course of treatment for an individual patient, whether a single treatment or a combination of restorations is needed to achieve the desired result.
We offer a wide range of restoration treatments, including:
- Dental fillings - We fill cavities with mercury-free fillings, rather than metal amalgam. The tooth-colored resin creates a tight seal to protect the tooth and provide a natural appearance.
- Inlays and onlays - Certain restorations work better for specific areas of the tooth for aesthetics and durability. Inlays cover the top of the tooth to the cusp, and onlays extend over the cusps.
- Dental crowns - A crown is designed to cover a damaged tooth to reinforce and preserve the natural tooth. The crown is custom colored to match your existing teeth for a completely natural appearance.
- Dental bridges - When one or more teeth are missing, a bridge is used to fill in the gap. The bridge is cemented to the natural teeth on either side for greater stability, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile normally.
- Dentures - We offer full and partial dentures to replace some or all of the natural teeth. Dr. Brown and Dr. Collett will design a plan that is tailored to your specific needs to restore the appearance and function of your teeth.
- Root canal - Infection, decay, or injury may result in a tooth that is intact but has nerves that are infected. Root canal therapy involves cleaning out and filling the nerves in the root canal to remove the infection while preserving the tooth.
Dr. Brown and Dr. Collett perform all restorative procedures using the single tooth anesthesia system known as the “wand.” The wand works by administering a small drop of anesthetic solution at a time to minimize discomfort. When combined with our specially formulated numbing gel, it truly makes our injections as comfortable as possible.
At Premier Dental Care of Buckhead, we are committed to providing our patients with the highest quality of care in a comfortable and welcoming environment. Our team of experienced dentists utilizes the latest technology and techniques to help ensure optimal results. We take the time to listen to your concerns, thoroughly assess your oral health, and develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique needs and goals.
Common Restorative Dentistry Concerns We Treat
People visit us from across Buckhead and nearby Atlanta neighborhoods for help with a wide range of restorative needs. Some are living with long-standing dental issues, while others have a sudden problem such as a fractured tooth or lost filling. Understanding which concerns restorative dentistry can address helps you decide when it is time to move from “putting up with it” to getting a solution that protects your health and comfort.
Many patients come to us with teeth that are sensitive, cracked, or worn down from years of clenching or grinding. Others are missing one or several teeth and find themselves avoiding certain foods or feeling self-conscious when they smile. Untreated decay, old metal fillings that are starting to fail, and teeth that have changed color after trauma are also common reasons people seek restorative care. By evaluating each of these concerns together, we can recommend a plan that addresses the root cause rather than just one tooth at a time.
We also frequently see patients whose existing restorations no longer fit comfortably or match their current smile. This can happen when the bite has shifted over time or when older materials have started to show at the edges. In these cases, updating your restorations can improve both function and appearance so your teeth feel more natural again. Our goal is to help you move from short-term fixes to durable solutions that support your overall oral health and make daily life—eating, speaking, and smiling—feel easier.
Dr. Brown, Dr. Collett, and our team are committed to providing patient-centered care, and your comfort is a primary concern. We explain the restoration options that are available to improve your smile and answer your questions. Financing opportunities are available.

Full Mouth Restoration
When extensive damage is present, Dr. Brown and Dr. Collett may recommend some form of treatment or restoration for all the teeth in the mouth. A combination of treatments and restorations may be required to fully restore your smile. We believe in detailed planning, patient education, and communication to design custom tailored treatments to deliver results that are nothing short of amazing. Learn about all our Buckhead restorative dentistry services to help ensure your overall oral health and comfort.
During a full mouth restoration, our dentists start with a comprehensive evaluation that may include digital X-rays, intraoral photos, and models of your teeth so they can understand how your bite works as a whole. This allows them to identify areas of excessive wear, failing restorations, or missing support that could be contributing to discomfort or difficulty chewing. Based on these findings, they outline a phased treatment plan that fits your schedule and helps you move toward a stable, healthy bite step by step.
Because full mouth restoration often involves several visits, we also take into account your lifestyle, work commitments, and budget when planning care. Our team explains the order of treatments, anticipated healing times, and how we will coordinate restorative and cosmetic improvements to your smile. Many patients appreciate knowing in advance which appointments will focus on comfort, such as adjusting temporary restorations, and which ones will be devoted to placing long-lasting restorations that can improve both function and appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Can Restorative Dentistry Improve My Overall Health?
Many patients lead busy, high-performance lifestyles and may not realize that a damaged tooth is more than a localized issue. Restorative dentistry helps prevent the spread of infection to other parts of the body and protects your jawbone from atrophy. By restoring your bite alignment through crowns or implants, we also help reduce the risk of TMJ disorders and chronic headaches, ensuring your oral health supports your total body wellness.
Can a Restorative Procedure Fix a "Gummy" Smile?
Yes. While restorative dentistry often focuses on teeth, it also involves the harmony between the teeth and gums. We can perform gum contouring in conjunction with crowns or veneers to help ensure your restorations look proportional and your gum line is symmetrical.
How Should I Care for My Restorations After They Are Placed?
You should treat your restorations just like natural teeth. This includes brushing twice a day with non-abrasive toothpaste, flossing daily, and attending regular professional cleanings. Avoiding extremely hard foods will also help prevent the porcelain from chipping over time.
What To Expect At Your Restorative Dentistry Visit
Knowing what will happen at your visit can make moving forward with treatment feel much more comfortable. Your first appointment typically begins with a conversation about your goals, concerns, and any previous dental experiences that might impact how you feel in the chair. Our team then performs a thorough exam that may include digital imaging, periodontal measurements, and a bite assessment so we can see the full picture of your oral health.
After your exam, we walk you through our findings in clear, everyday language and show you what we see on the screen or with models. Together, we discuss which teeth need attention right away and which areas we can monitor over time. You will have the chance to ask questions about different treatment options, expected timelines, and how we will keep you comfortable during your visits. This collaborative approach helps you feel informed and in control of your care.
