Choosing the Right Restoration for Your Tooth

Restorative treatment starts with an exam and X-rays, plus a CBCT scan when bone or nerves need a closer look. Our dentists then recommend the most conservative option that will last:

  • Small cavity: a tooth-colored filling, usually done in one visit.
  • Larger damage but a healthy outer wall: an inlay or onlay, which keeps more natural tooth than a crown.
  • Cracked or heavily filled tooth: a crown, often made the same day in our office.
  • Infected nerve: a root canal to save the tooth, followed by a crown.
  • Missing teeth: a bridge, a dental implant, dentures, or All-On-X for a full arch.

For patients with wear or damage across many teeth, we plan a full mouth reconstruction in stages.

What Affects the Cost of Restorative Treatment

The cost of restorative care in West Chester depends on a few clear factors:

  • Type of restoration: fillings cost the least, while implants and All-On-X are the biggest investment.
  • Number of teeth: treating one tooth costs far less than rebuilding a whole arch.
  • Material: ceramic and porcelain restorations are priced differently from other materials.
  • Extra steps: extractions, bone grafts or a root canal before the final restoration add to the total.
  • Your coverage: insurance often pays part of fillings, crowns and root canals, with less for implants. [add: insurance plans accepted and typical price ranges]

You’ll get a written treatment plan with costs before anything begins. Our Smile Saver Plan and financing options can spread larger treatments into manageable payments.

Restorative Dentistry FAQs

How many visits will I need? Fillings and same-day crowns are usually finished in a single appointment. Bridges and dentures take a few visits. Implants are completed over several months while the bone heals.

Will it hurt? We numb the area thoroughly before treatment, and most patients feel pressure rather than pain. If you’re nervous, tell us so we can go at your pace.

Should I fix a tooth that doesn’t hurt? Often, yes. Cavities and cracks tend to grow, and a small filling today can prevent a root canal or extraction later.

Do you see patients from nearby towns? Yes. Patients come to our East Marshall Street office from Exton, Downingtown, Malvern, Kennett Square and across Chester County.
