Restorative dentistry is really important because it not only fixes dental problems, but also helps bring balance and harmony to your smile. This can make a big difference in your overall quality of life and boost your self-esteem.

Restorative Dentistry Procedures 

  1. Dental Fillings: Used to repair cavities or minor fractures, fillings are a fundamental part of restorative dentistry. We offer tooth-colored fillings for a natural look.
  2. Dental Crowns: Crowns serve as a protective cap for teeth that have suffered significant damage or decay, reinstating their form, size, and strength.
  3. Bridges: If you’re missing one or more teeth, bridges literally ‘bridge’ the gap. They are anchored to neighboring teeth and look just like natural teeth.
  4. DenturesWe provide options for both full and partial dentures to replace lost teeth, bringing back both functionality and appearance.
  5. Dental Implants: For a more permanent solution, dental implants replace tooth roots, providing a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth.
  6. Root Canal Therapy: This procedure is employed to rescue a tooth that is extensively infected or affected by decay.
  7. Inlays and Onlays: These are used when the tooth damage is not extensive enough for a crown but too significant for a filling.

  • Enhanced Appearance: We focus on aesthetics, ensuring that restorations improve your smile.

Cost Considerations and Insurance

Navigating the costs associated with restorative dentistry is an important aspect of your dental care journey. At Monahan Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we prioritize transparent and straightforward communication about pricing, helping you make informed decisions about your oral health investments.

Transparent and Upfront Pricing

  • Clarity on Costs: We believe in full transparency when it comes to the cost of our restorative services. Before any treatment begins, we provide a detailed breakdown of the expenses involved. This upfront pricing approach ensures that there are no surprises later on.

Typical Cost Range

  • The price of restorative dental services may fluctuate based on the intricacy and nature of the procedure. For instance, simple fillings can range from $100 to $300 per tooth, while more complex procedures like crowns can range from $500 to $1,500 per tooth. Dental implants, which involve surgery and high-quality materials, can be more expensive, ranging from $1,500 to $6,000 per implant.

Navigating Dental Insurance

  • Understanding Your Coverage: Dental insurance can significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses for many restorative procedures. However, coverage varies widely depending on the provider and plan. Typically, insurance covers a substantial portion of basic restorative procedures like fillings and crowns, but cosmetic procedures might not be covered.
  • Maximizing Benefits: Our knowledgeable staff will assist you in understanding the specifics of your insurance coverage, including deductibles, co-pays, and annual maximums. We’ll also help you navigate the claims process, ensuring you get the maximum benefit from your plan.

Flexible Payment Solutions

  • Payment Plans for Accessibility: Recognizing that restorative dental treatments can be a significant investment, we offer various payment plans to help spread the cost over time. This approach makes treatments more manageable for those who need to budget their dental expenses.
