At Mecca Dental, we specialize in restorative care that integrates cutting-edge technology with a compassionate, patient-centered approach. Our goal is to restore the functionality and aesthetics of your teeth, and ensure your overall oral health is at its best.
Why Should I Get Restorative Care?
Restorative care is essential for addressing dental issues that affect the function, integrity, and appearance of your teeth. Whether it's filling cavities, repairing damaged teeth, or replacing missing ones, restorative treatments are key to preventing further oral health issues and maintaining the overall quality of your life. These treatments improve the aesthetics of your smile, and ensure your teeth function properly, allowing you to eat, speak, and live comfortably.

Fillings
Fillings are a common restorative treatment used to repair decayed or fractured teeth. We restore the tooth's function and integrity by removing the decayed part of the tooth and filling it with a durable, tooth-colored material. Fillings repair cavities and fractures while preserving the natural tooth structure and appearance.
Crowns
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over a tooth to restore its size, shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used to protect weak or endodontically-treated teeth, restore broken teeth, cover dental implants, or improve a tooth’s aesthetics.
Bridges
Bridges are digitally-designed and lab-milled fixed prosthesis, intended to restore the proper functional occlusion (bite) by filling the space of one or more missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth anchored in place by the prepared adjacent teeth, restoring function and appearance while preventing the shifting of surrounding teeth.
Inlays
Inlays are custom-made, digitally-designed, 3D-printed or milled, indirect ceramic restorations that are fitted into a cavity (that has been cleaned out and prepared) and cemented into place. Inlays are typically made of porcelain or composite material. They provide strong support and a precise fit for damaged teeth.
Onlays
Similar to inlays, onlays are also custom-made, digitally-designed, 3D-printed or milled, indirect ceramic restorations that are cemented into place. Onlays are used to repair more extensive tooth damage. They cover one or more cusps of the tooth, providing more coverage and strength to a tooth that has significant structure loss.
Root Canals
Root canal treatment is a procedure to treat infection inside the tooth. It involves removing the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inner tooth, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection thus saving the natural tooth.

- Activity: Limit strenuous activities for a short period post-treatment to aid in healing.
