Receive Advanced Restorative Care From Skilled Experts
Our team brings advanced, specialty-level training to your care. Dr. Jivraj and Dr. Giraldo focus on prosthodontics and dental implant procedures. Dr. Jivraj also teaches implant courses for implant manufacturer Nobel Biocare and has shared his expertise with national media outlets. Dr. Angelidis specializes in endodontics, treating infections that reach the inner pulp of your tooth. You can feel confident knowing your smile is in experienced hands.
Your consultation begins with a detailed exam and digital imaging, including X-rays or intraoral photos. Based on what we find, your personalized treatment plan may include:
- Tooth-Colored Fillings - We use metal-free fillings to repair cavities and minor damage. The material will blend naturally with your teeth. You'll have a restored, healthy tooth that looks and functions properly.
- Root Canal Therapy - Your endodontist will use gentle techniques to remove any infection inside your tooth. We'll cap your treated tooth with a crown, so you have your bite back. This procedure will help you avoid the need for an extraction.
- Dental Crowns - Crowns are custom-crafted in our on-site lab for strength and a natural appearance. An on-site lab means a quicker turnaround and the highest level of quality control. Crowns can treat decayed or damaged teeth, cap your tooth after a root canal, or be paired with implants to replace a single tooth.
- Inlays and Onlays - These restorations are ideal for moderate damage. They may be ideal when you don't need a full crown but need more than a filling. These partial crowns require less removal of tooth structure and will restore your confident smile.
- Dental Bridges - Bridges replace one or more missing teeth in a row. You can pair a bridge with implants for a stronger bite. You can also have your bridge anchored to nearby teeth.
- Dentures - Your dentist will restore a full arch with custom-made, natural-looking teeth. You can receive full or partial dentures. You can also secure your dentures to implants, for a feel and function more like natural teeth.
- Dental Implants - Pair implants with crowns, bridges, or dentures to restore your oral function and reduce bone loss. We can replace any number of teeth with implants. Your jaw stays healthy as implants stimulate the area.

Common Questions About Restorative Dentistry
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged, diseased, or missing teeth. Treatments may include fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, root canals, and dental implants. The goal is to restore your strength, function, and appearance so you can chew comfortably, speak clearly, and maintain better long-term oral health.
Are tooth-colored fillings better than metal fillings?
Tooth-colored composite fillings blend naturally with your enamel and are made from biocompatible materials. They bond directly to the tooth, which helps preserve more natural structure. Unlike metal fillings, they don't contain amalgam and provide a more discreet, modern solution for repairing cavities.
When is a root canal necessary?
A root canal is necessary when infection reaches the inner pulp of your tooth. Symptoms may include severe pain, lingering sensitivity, swelling, or tenderness. The procedure removes infected tissue, relieves discomfort, and seals the tooth to prevent further damage. This helps you avoid extraction whenever possible.
