Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and restoring damaged teeth, ensuring patients regain both function and aesthetics. Whether you need a simple filling, a crown, or a dental implant, these treatments help prevent further oral health issues while maintaining a natural-looking smile. At Doctors Lake Family Dental, we use cutting-edge technology and modern dental techniques to provide high-quality, long-lasting restorative solutions.
Doctors Lake Family Dental is led by Dr. Fernando Padron and Dr. Adriana Padron, both highly trained prosthodontists with extensive experience in complex dental restorations and implant dentistry. With advanced training from Nova Southeastern University and the University of Illinois, they specialize in providing top-tier restorative treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Their expertise, combined with a commitment to patient comfort, ensures that every visit is a positive and stress-free experience.
Restorative Dentistry Options
Composite Fillings
Unlike the silver fillings of decades past, modern composite fillings are designed to blend in perfectly with the rest of your smile. Once we remove the decayed portion of your tooth, we select a shade of composite material that matches your enamel for a natural-looking restoration.
Root Canals
Despite the jokes people make comparing unpleasant experiences to root canals, the only thing painful about a root canal is not getting one when you need it! With our state-of-the-art equipment, local anesthetic, dental services, and compassionate care, you’ll find that getting a root canal is more comfortable than you ever imagined.
Inlays and Onlays
An inlay or onlay is a partial crown restoration that can be placed when there is not sufficient tooth structure to support a filling but enough tooth structure left that a full crown is not needed. Inlays/onlays are made of porcelain or gold, and they aesthetically and functionally replace the missing tooth structure.
Crowns
Dental crowns can be used in conjunction with dental implants, to support bridges, to restore a tooth after a cavity, and for protecting a tooth after root canal therapy. We take the hassle out of the process by using CEREC technology to create convenient, high-quality same-day crowns.
Bridges
BridgesDental bridges can replace a single missing tooth or more than one adjacent missing teeth. The same CEREC system used to create crowns is used to create our bridges, which means you’ll be able to leave our dental office with a beautiful new smile.
Same Day Crowns
Using CEREC™ technology, Same Day Crowns offer patients dental restorations made from materials that provide superior strength, like natural teeth, compared to other restorations and also reduce the need for multiple dental care visits to the office.
Dental Implants
With dental implants, missing teeth are replaced both above and below the gum line. Dr. Boitet is one of the premier providers of dental implants in the Jacksonville area, with years of experience, training, and leadership in the oral health field.
Dentures
We offer several denture options at Doctors Lake Family Dental, including partial dentures, complete dentures, fixed implant-supported dentures, and snap-in dentures.
Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dentistry
What are restorative dental procedures?
Restorative dental procedures are used to repair teeth that are damaged and replace teeth that are missing.
Can dentists fix really bad teeth?
With modern dental techniques and technology, there is nothing we can’t fix! Dental crowns can be used to restore most damaged teeth; in cases where extraction is needed, bridges or dental implants are realistic replacements.
Why do I have cavities even though I brush?
Sometimes cavities just happen! There are some patients who naturally have more pits and grooves in their teeth where plaque can collect. Other times, you may brush well, but cavities form between your teeth where your brush can’t reach, which is why flossing is important for oral health. When brushing, be sure to brush for a full two minutes and brush the fronts, backs, and chewing surfaces of all of your teeth.
How do you repair a damaged tooth?
It depends on the amount of damage a tooth has suffered. Minor chips may need only simple cosmetic procedures, while more severe damage could require a root canal and dental crown.
