Restorative Dentistry
Broken, decayed, or missing teeth can interfere with proper function. Left untreated, these conditions can lead to even more dental issues.
Many dental treatments focus on managing oral health problems and restoring full function to your smile.
Dentist Timothy M. Kelly offers a wide range of restorative dentistry procedures at our Albuquerque, NM, practice.
Real Patients. Real Results.

After experiencing anxiety over trips to the dentist, she now feels completely comfortable during appointments.
Our Approach to Restorative Care
The most critical aspect of what we do on a daily basis is gain a clear understanding of the patient's unique needs. This involves an examination of the function of the oral cavity and its role in the overall health, beauty, comfort, and longevity of the patient's smile.
Often, it is difficult for patients to visualize the outcomes of their options, especially when the benefits of early restorative care may not become apparent for another 20 years. Dr. Timothy Kelly and our team's goal is to find out each patient's desires, discuss potential outcomes, and formulate a long-term health care plan.
The Benefits of Treatment
Many patients don't understand how the positive aspects of restorative dental care can benefit their immediate and long-term oral health.
One of our main goals is to help patients experience improved oral comfort, in addition to having a pleasant experience at our practice.
Experience improved function, including better chewing, breathing, and speaking ability, all of which are dependent on a healthy mouth.
Maintaining good dental health is always far less expensive than treating more serious problems that result from poor oral care or missed appointments.
Treating cavities and dental damage restores your smile, reduces bacteria in the mouth, and helps prevent problems from worsening.
Repairing or replacing damaged teeth makes it easier to brush and floss properly. Good oral hygiene is essential for long-term health.
Improving the health of your teeth and gums can help you look younger and healthier, immediately boosting your self-esteem.
Gentle Sedation Can Ensure Your Comfort
Even though most restorative dentistry procedures can be completed with just local anesthesia, we understand that some patients need a little extra help feeling comfortable in a dental chair. You may have dental anxiety, find it difficult to sit still for extended periods of time, or have tooth or gum sensitivity that makes treatment especially uncomfortable.
To help ease your concerns, we offer oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide sedation at our practice. Both of these options can help you feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed during your treatment.

Oral conscious sedation or nitrous oxide sedation can relieve your worries and help you relax for a painless experience with your dentist.
