Our Restorative Dental Services
Restorative dentistry repairs or replaces teeth damaged by decay, cracks, wear, or loss, so you can chew comfortably and smile with confidence again. A cracked molar, a crown that has started to fail, or a gap that keeps shifting your bite can all be addressed with a plan built around your mouth, and some treatments can be completed in fewer visits than people expect.
Simpson Dental PLLC has cared for Charleston, West Virginia, families for three generations, and our comprehensive dental services include every restorative option on this page. Dr. Christen Simpson Raynes and Dr. Chase Preston guide treatment planning for each case, working beside our on-site dental lab so your restoration can be shaped, checked, and adjusted without waiting on an outside facility.
How We Plan Your Restorative Care
Every restorative case starts with a thorough exam and digital X-rays so Dr. Raynes and Dr. Preston can assess your bite, gum health, and each affected tooth. We then explain your options in plain language, including visits, timing, and cost.
Our dental lab sits under the same roof as our treatment rooms, and our three full-time technicians bring a combined 60 years of experience. Because they work directly with your dentist, adjustments can happen quickly, which may help your restoration fit comfortably and look natural next to your own teeth.
Prompt repair matters because untreated damage tends to grow. National health data show about 13 percent of U.S. adults age 65 and older have lost all of their natural teeth, and early treatment is one way to protect the teeth you have.
Flexible Financing for Your Dental Care
We believe quality dental care should be accessible. Simpson Dental offers flexible financing options to help you get the treatment you need without delay.
Restorative Treatments We Offer
Most restorative plans draw on a few well-established treatments, and your dentist may combine more than one to rebuild a tooth or a whole smile:
Repair cavities with tooth-colored material that blends with your natural teeth.
cover and strengthen teeth that are cracked, worn down, or heavily filled.
restore moderate damage while keeping more of your natural tooth.
close the gap left by a missing tooth by anchoring to healthy neighbors.
replace a missing tooth from the root up and can help preserve your jawbone.
Each option has its own strengths, so we match the treatment to your bite, your goals, and the condition of the tooth rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Repairing a Damaged Tooth or Replacing a Missing One
A small cavity often needs only a filling. When the damage grows too large for a filling to hold, an inlay or onlay can protect more of your natural tooth than a full crown, while a crown may be the better choice for a tooth that has cracked or already has a large filling. Your dentist will explain why one option suits your tooth better than another.
Missing teeth call for a different approach. A bridge can fill the space by anchoring to the teeth on either side, while a dental implant replaces the root itself. Dental implants can be a great fit for anyone dealing with tooth loss, and our team has restored more than 6,000 of them. For patients missing most or all of their teeth, implant-supported dentures may provide a full smile in as little as one day.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Your first visit centers on planning, and we move forward only when the plan makes sense to you. Some crowns can be completed the same day, while inlays, onlays, and other restorations are shaped in our lab between visits.
Good home care helps any restoration last longer. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and keeping up with regular dental cleanings protect both your natural teeth and the work we place.
Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dentistry in Charleston, WV
What types of restorative dentistry do you offer?
We offer tooth-colored fillings, dental crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, root canal therapy, dental implants, implant-supported dentures, and same-day dentures. Our on-site lab allows us to create many of these restorations in-house, which may reduce wait times.
What does a full mouth restoration involve?
A full mouth restoration rebuilds worn, damaged, or missing teeth across both arches, often by combining crowns, implants, and other treatments. Dr. Raynes and Dr. Preston create a custom plan after an exam, and the work may be completed in stages.
How long does restorative dentistry take?
Timing depends on the treatment. A filling is often completed in one visit, while crowns, inlays, and onlays often take a preparation visit and a placement visit. Implants and full mouth restorations are planned in stages, and we review the expected timeline with you before treatment begins.
How long will my restoration last?
Longevity varies by the type of restoration, the materials used, your bite, and how well you care for your teeth. Regular checkups let us catch small issues early.
Does insurance cover restorative dentistry?
Coverage varies by plan, and while we cannot guarantee what your insurance will pay, we bill insurance companies for services and can estimate your benefits in good faith. We also offer financing options to help you begin treatment without delay.
