Even with regular brushing and flossing, teeth can wear down, break, or develop cavities over time. That’s where restorative dentistry comes in. It’s all about repairing and rebuilding teeth—so you can chew, speak, and smile comfortably again.

At Springs Village Dentistry, we help patients in Holly Springs restore their oral health every day. Here’s a look at some of the most common restorative services and when they might be recommended.

Fillings for Cavities

Dental fillings are one of the most frequent treatments in any dental office. If you have a cavity caused by decay, a filling can seal the area and prevent further damage. Further, today’s tooth-colored fillings blend right in, so they’re functional and discreet.

Crowns for Larger Damage

When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a crown may be the next step. A crown covers the entire tooth to protect and strengthen it. It’s custom-made to match your bite and restore the shape and function of the tooth underneath.

Bridges and Implants for Missing Teeth

Missing a tooth doesn’t just leave a gap—it can shift your bite and, eventually, make eating or speaking harder. Dental bridges use neighboring teeth to support a replacement tooth, filling the space and restoring balance. Dental implants go a step further, replacing the entire tooth root with a small titanium post in the jaw. A custom crown is then added on top. Implants look and feel like natural teeth and don’t rely on surrounding teeth for support.

Root Canals to Relieve Pain And Save the Tooth

However, a tooth that’s badly decayed or infected on the inside doesn’t always need to be pulled. In many cases, a root canal can save it. This procedure clears out the infection, relieves pain, and preserves your natural tooth structure. After treatment, the tooth is usually covered with a crown for strength and protection.
