Restorative Dentistry in Houston, TX

Restorative Dental Services We Offer

We offer a full range of restorative dental services that include:

Dental Crowns

A crown covers the entire visible portion of a tooth that has been too damaged or weakened for a filling to fix. It restores your tooth’s shape and protects it from further damage.

Digital impressions are taken to make sure your crown fits correctly and matches your other teeth. Crowns are often used after root canals, and on teeth with extensive decay that have weakened the overall structure.

Dental Bridges

A bridge replaces a missing tooth by attaching a replacement tooth to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. We craft bridges that fit naturally into your bite and are matched to the color of your existing teeth.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canals have a reputation that does not reflect what the procedure actually involves. Most patients find it no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. When the inner part of a tooth becomes infected or badly inflamed, a root canal clears out the damaged tissue, eliminates the infection, and seals the tooth so it can be saved.

Without treatment, the infection spreads, and the tooth usually cannot be saved. With treatment, the tooth stays in place and functions normally with a crown placed over it for protection.

Full and Partial Dentures

Dentures replace multiple missing teeth and restore the ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably. Full dentures replace the entire arch of teeth. Partial dentures replace the spaces left when some natural teeth are still present.

Each denture is custom-made for your mouth and designed to look as natural as possible. Our team takes time to get the fit right, because an ill-fitting denture affects how you eat and how confident you feel wearing it.

Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures are placed on the same day your teeth are extracted, so you never have to go without teeth during the healing period. They are made for you ahead of time, using measurements taken before the extractions, and adjusted as your mouth heals and your mouth shape changes.
Immediate dentures are typically a temporary solution, but they allow patients to leave with a functional smile immediately after extractions.

Denture Relines

Over time, the shape of your jawbone and gum tissue changes, which causes dentures that once fit well to become loose or uncomfortable. A reline restores the fit by reshaping the inner surface of the denture to match the current contours of your mouth.

It is a much simpler and less expensive fix than having a completely new denture made, and it can make a significant difference in comfort and stability. Our dentist offers both chairside and laboratory relines, depending on what your denture needs are.

Good Candidates for Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry covers a wide range of situations, so there is no single profile for who needs it. There are some common signs that it might be time to come in and get things looked at. You might be a good candidate if you:

• Have a tooth that has been cracked, chipped, or broken and has not been treated yet
• Are missing one or more teeth that are affecting how you eat or speak
• Have a cavity that has grown beyond what a simple filling can address
• Experience tooth pain or sensitivity that does not go away on its own
• Have an old filling, crown, or bridge that is cracked, loose, or no longer fitting properly
• Need a root canal, but have been putting it off
• Wear dentures that no longer fit the way they used to

The Restorative Dentistry Process at Matouk Family Dentistry

Every restorative treatment starts with a thorough exam. Dr. Matouk takes digital X-rays and does a full visual assessment of your teeth and gums so she has a complete picture of what is going on before anything is recommended.

If multiple things need to be addressed, we map out the order and walk you through what each step involves before anything is scheduled. You will never feel pushed into agreeing to something on the spot. Our dentist uses digital impressions and advanced imaging technology to make sure every restoration fits the way it should, and your bite feels right. Local anesthesia is used whenever it is needed to help you stay comfortable throughout.

Once everything is done, she sends you home with clear aftercare instructions and schedules any follow-up visits to make sure things are healing the way they should.
