Restorative Dentistry – Fountain Valley, CA
Revitalize Your Smile
Tooth enamel may be the strongest substance in your body, but even it can break and become worn down over time. And because it’s not made out of living cells, it cannot recover from extensive damage. At Elite Dental, we can fix and refresh your damaged or decayed teeth with a number of restorative services. Give us a call if you have a damaged smile that needs repair.

Tooth-Colored Fillings
Amalgam fillings used to be the standard for restoring cavities, but they came with the obvious drawback of sticking out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of your smile. With tooth-colored fillings made out of composite resin, it’s now possible for us to create fillings that blend in perfectly with your natural teeth.
Dental Crowns
Some teeth are too damaged to be repaired with a filling but are still intact enough to be saved with a dental crown. Every crown is customized to be an exact fit for the teeth that they’re placed on. They perform multiple functions, simultaneously protecting the teeth from further damage while also letting them function normally whenever you bite or chew. Our porcelain and zirconia crowns can all be personalized so that they match the rest of your smile once they’re in place.
Root Canals
Once decay or infection has killed the nerve inside your tooth, we need to remove it as soon as possible before the damage spreads to the rest of your mouth. Root canal therapy is the process of removing the dead dental nerve and restoring the affected tooth so that you can still use it to speak, eat, and smile. Your mouth would be numbed for the entire procedure to ensure little to no pain.
Extractions & Bone Grafts
It’s not always possible to save a tooth that has been severely damaged. If we deem it necessary to remove a tooth, we will do so in a way that keeps your discomfort to a minimum. Note that bone loss is often a consequence of having a tooth removed, but we can reverse the process with bone grafting. This keeps your jawbone healthy and strong so that it can support tooth replacements such as dental implants.
