Frequently Asked Questions
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged teeth and replacing missing ones in order to restore proper bite function, comfort, and aesthetics. Dr. Julia Lee offers a comprehensive range of restorative treatments including dental crowns, bridges, dentures, inlays and onlays, tooth-colored fillings, and same-day CEREC crowns.
How do I know which restorative treatment is right for me?
The best treatment depends on the extent of damage or tooth loss, your overall oral health, and your personal goals. During your consultation, Dr. Lee will conduct a thorough examination, review X-rays, and discuss all suitable options so you can make an informed decision that fits your needs and budget.
Are restorative procedures covered by dental insurance?
Many dental insurance plans provide coverage for restorative treatments that are deemed medically necessary, such as fillings, crowns, and extractions. Coverage levels vary by plan. Our front office team is happy to review your benefits and provide a detailed breakdown of your estimated costs before treatment begins.
How long do restorative dental restorations last?
The lifespan of a restoration depends on the type of treatment and how well it is maintained. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, composite fillings can last 7 to 10 years, crowns and bridges 10 to 15 years or longer, and dental implants can last a lifetime. Dr. Lee will advise you on how to maximize the longevity of your restoration.
Will my restored tooth look natural?
Yes. Dr. Julia Lee uses high-quality, tooth-colored materials that are carefully matched to the shade and translucency of your natural teeth. Whether you receive a filling, crown, or veneer, the goal is always a seamless result that blends beautifully with your surrounding smile.
