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.

Deb discusses her care at the practice of Dr. Tim Kelly in this temporomandibular (TMJ) disorder testimonial. She stresses the impact Dr. Kelly's gentle touch and calming demeanor had on her. 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.

Common Restorative Dentistry Procedures

Fillings

If you have a small cavity or chip in your tooth, then it can likely be treated with a dental filling. Dr. Kelly uses biocompatible, tooth-colored composite resin to seamlessly restore your smile. A tooth filling can be placed in a single appointment.

Crowns

If your tooth has a large cavity or significant damage, it will require a dental crown. These custom restorations cover the entire tooth structure for added strength and resiliency. Crowns are also used to restore dental implants and root canal-treated teeth.

Bridges

Localized tooth loss can be treated with a dental bridge. This type of restoration consists of dental crowns with artificial teeth between them. Dr. Kelly offers both traditional and implant-supported bridges at our Albuquerque, NM, office.

Dentures

Partial dentures can replace several missing teeth, while full dentures restore an entire arch. At our Albuquerque office, our dentist offers both traditional and implant-supported dentures depending on the needs of the patient.

Dental Implants

Missing teeth can be replaced with the help of dental implants. These threaded titanium posts are inserted into the jaw to replace missing tooth roots. Implants can support a wide variety of restorations, including crowns, bridges, and dentures.

Helen suffered from TMJ disorder that resulted in painful headaches, dizzy spells, balance problems, and worn teeth that affected her smile and how she ate. Dr. Kelly determined her TMJs were out of alignment, so he designed a plan to realign the jaws and restore her teeth. The result is a beautiful smile and a return to a normal lifestyle.

A Plan Tailored to You

Dr. Kelly determined the root of Helen's problem and treated the source. He does the same for every one of his patients. Your treatment plan will be unique and completely tailored to your needs.

Your dentist may start with restorative treatment to correct your functional concerns, then move on to general dentistry to maintain the newfound health of your smile. Then, if you need a boost of confidence, you can consider cosmetic treatments.
