Restorative Dentistry Services
What is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry involves treatments and procedures that improve the function and aesthetic value of your smile. Restorative dentistry can range from procedures that improve the way you chew and eat to cosmetic options that enhance the look and feel of your teeth. At Galligan Dental, we offer a range of quality restorative procedures to fit your needs. With the help of an examination done by Dr. Galligan, we can create a specialized treatment plan just for you.
Why is Restorative Dentistry needed?
You may need restorative dentistry if you have teeth that have become compromised in some way. You might be dealing with tooth decay, lost restorations, broken teeth or are simply interested in whitening, bonding or veneers. Our goal is to offer you a wide variety of restorative options that aim to improve the health and look of your smile. Restorative options vary from one patient to another, ensuring that you receive only what is needed for your smile.
What makes you a candidate for Restorative Dentistry?
Prior to having any type of restorative procedure done, you will come into our office for a consultation. The consult will include an exam and series of different x-rays so we can create a personalized treatment plan just for you. We will educate you about each individual procedure and what to expect when having it done.

All-on-4
All-On-4 technology refers to placing four strategically planned implants to keep a denture in place. This prevents the need for more than just four implants to be used, and all of the implants can be placed in one or two appointments.
Dental Bonding
Bonding is designed to enhance your natural teeth and correct minor flaws and imperfections at the front of your smile.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a restoration that helps to replace one or more missing natural teeth. The bridge attaches permanently to surrounding teeth, so it will not need to be removed and cleaned like a prosthetic appliance.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a type of restoration that is designed to fit over a damaged or compromised tooth. If a tooth has fractured, broken or has been recently root canaled, we may recommend that it be crowned.
Dental Implant Restoration
A dental implant is specifically designed to replace one or more teeth within your mouth. Implants are often made of titanium, and they are surgically inserted into the jawbone.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent solution for patients seeking that perfect white smile. Implants are a great choice for patients that have broken, damaged, or missing teeth.
Full & Partial Dentures
Both a denture and partial will help to transform your entire smile. If you are missing your natural teeth, there is no reason for you to feel ashamed or embarrassed.
Injured Teeth And Gums
Despite continuous dental care and proper oral hygiene, there may come a time when you experience a traumatic injury to your mouth and teeth. This injury may cause the tooth to break, shift or completely fall out.
Inlays and Onlays
Teeth will rarely crack or break perfectly every time. In some cases, a crack can run across the top of a tooth, requiring a smaller restoration when compared to a full dental crown.
