Restoring and replacing teeth, one plan at a time.

Crowns and onlays

A crown covers a damaged tooth to protect it and bring back its shape. When less of the tooth is damaged, an onlay rebuilds only the part that’s missing, so more of your natural tooth stays.

What’s usually involved

• An exam and X-rays to check the tooth and its root
• Shaping the tooth and taking an impression
• A temporary crown while yours is made
• Fitting and adjusting the final crown

Bridges, implant crowns and partial dentures

A gap makes chewing harder and can let nearby teeth shift. There are three common ways to fill it, each with its own cost and timeline, and Dr. Santos will walk you through them.

What’s usually involved

• A fixed bridge anchored to the teeth next to the gap
• A crown on a dental implant
• A removable partial denture

Complete and partial dentures

Dentures should let you eat, speak and smile without slipping or sore spots. Making and fitting them is a core part of prosthodontics, whether you need a new set, a reline so your current one fits again, or dentures held in place by implants.

What’s usually involved

• New complete or partial dentures
• Relines and adjustments
• Dentures held in place by implants

Root canal treatment

Pain that won’t go away, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling can mean the nerve inside a tooth is inflamed or infected. A root canal cleans out the inside of the tooth so you can keep it, and the tooth usually gets a crown afterwards. If you’re in pain, call so we can see you as soon as possible.

What’s usually involved

• An exam and X-rays to find the cause
• Root canal treatment
• A crown to protect the treated tooth

Severe swelling, a high fever, or trouble breathing or swallowing needs emergency care right away. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Exams, cleanings and fillings

Regular checkups catch small problems before they need bigger treatment. A visit usually includes an exam, a cleaning, and X-rays when they’re due. Fillings take care of cavities found early.

What’s usually involved

• Exams and X-rays
• Cleanings
• Fillings

Full-mouth reconstruction

When many teeth are worn, broken or missing, fixing them one at a time can leave your bite uneven. A full-mouth reconstruction plans every restoration together so your teeth work as a set. It usually happens in stages, and Dr. Santos explains the plan and its costs before treatment begins.

What’s usually involved

• A full exam of your teeth, gums and bite
• A treatment plan in clear stages
• Crowns, bridges, implant restorations or dentures as needed
