Am I a candidate for restorative treatment?
If you have sensitive or painful teeth, broken or chipped areas, old metal fillings, or spaces where teeth are missing, restorative dentistry can almost always help. We’ll discuss your health history, examine your teeth and gums, and talk about your goals, whether that means chewing comfortably, stopping recurring dental emergencies, or improving the look of your smile.
Before any treatment begins, we’ll review your options, estimated timelines, and what to expect at each visit. We’ll also go over insurance coverage and any out-of-pocket costs, answering your questions in clear, straightforward terms. If helpful, we can phase treatment or explore FINANCING_NOTES to make care more manageable.

Restorative Dentistry FAQs
- What is restorative dentistry?
- Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and rebuilding teeth that are decayed, cracked, worn, or missing. Treatments like fillings, crowns, bridges, and full-mouth rehabilitation are designed to restore strength, function, and appearance so you can eat and smile comfortably.
- How do I know if I need restorative treatment?
- You may need restorative care if you have tooth pain, sensitivity, broken or chipped areas, dark spots that look like cavities, or missing teeth. During your visit at Mint Dental Loft, we’ll perform a thorough exam and share digital images so you can clearly see what’s happening and why treatment is recommended.
- Is restorative dentistry painful?
- Most restorative treatments are very comfortable. We use local anesthetic to fully numb the area and check in with you throughout the visit. You might feel mild soreness or sensitivity afterward, but it usually improves quickly and can often be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and simple home-care tips.
- How long do crowns, fillings, and other restorations last?
- The lifespan of your restorations depends on the material used, your bite, and your home-care habits. With good brushing and flossing, regular checkups, and a healthy diet, many crowns and well-placed fillings can last for many years. We’ll show you how to protect your investment and watch for early signs of wear.
- Will restorative dentistry change how my smile looks?
- Yes—in a good way. Modern Restorative dentistry uses tooth-colored materials that closely match your natural teeth. We carefully choose shapes and shades that blend with your smile, so most people will never notice you have had dental work done.
- What does restorative treatment cost?
- Costs vary based on how many teeth are involved, which procedures you need, and the materials chosen. Before starting any treatment, we’ll review a clear estimate, discuss options, and help you understand the value and expected longevity of each choice. We’re happy to talk through FINANCING_NOTES or phased treatment if that would make care easier.
- Does insurance cover restorative dentistry?
- Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of restorative services such as fillings, crowns, and sometimes bridges, up to plan limits. Our team at Mint Dental Loft will help you review your benefits, submit claims on your behalf, and maximize coverage whenever possible.
- What if I’m nervous or haven’t seen a dentist in a long time?
- You’re not alone, and you’re always welcome here. We see many patients who feel anxious or are returning after years away. We move at your pace, explain everything in simple terms, and never judge. Our goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and proud of the steps you’re taking for your health.
- Can multiple restorative problems be fixed in one plan?
- Yes. If you have several areas of decay, broken teeth, or old restorations that need to be replaced, we can design a comprehensive plan that prioritizes your most urgent needs first. Together, we can map out a timeline that fits your schedule and budget while moving steadily toward a healthier smile.
