When teeth are damaged, painful, or missing, the right restoration brings back comfort, confidence, and natural function. At Blue Dental Clinic on the Upper East Side, we plan restorations with your bite and long-term durability in mind—so results look great and last.

Why choose us

• Prosthodontic-level planning: Careful diagnosis, material selection, and bite design for strength and esthetics.
• Everything under one roof: Fillings, inlays/onlays, crowns, bridges, implant restorations, dentures/partials, and full-mouth reconstruction.
• Natural esthetics: Shade-matched composites and lifelike ceramics (zirconia, lithium disilicate/e.max).
• Comfort & clarity: Gentle techniques, thorough numbing, and transparent estimates with insurance-friendly support.

Restorations we provide

Tooth-Colored Fillings (Composite)
Conservative repairs for small–moderate cavities and chips. Layered, bonded composites that blend with your enamel.

Inlays & Onlays
Custom ceramic “partial crowns” for larger defects—strong, precise, and more conservative than full crowns.

Dental Crowns
Full-coverage protection for cracked, heavily filled, or root-canal–treated teeth. Materials include zirconia (strength) and lithium disilicate (smile-zone beauty).

Dental Bridges
Fixed replacements for one or more missing teeth using neighboring teeth—or implants—as anchors.

Implant Restorations
Single-tooth crowns, multi-unit bridges, and full-arch solutions on implants. We also offer grafting coordination and provisional options when appropriate.

Dentures & Partials
Modern full and partial dentures designed for comfort, esthetics, and clear speech; implant-supported options for extra stability.

Full Mouth Reconstruction
Phased plans that rebuild multiple teeth and correct bite issues for comfort, function, and a harmonious smile.

How your restorative visit works

1. Diagnosis & records – Exam, photos, digital X-rays/3D imaging as indicated; bite and esthetic assessment.
2. Personalized plan – Options, materials, timelines, and costs explained in plain language.
3. Treatment – Conservative tooth prep, precise impressions/scans, and comfortable temporaries when needed.
4. Lab-crafted precision – Lifelike ceramics made to our specifications for fit, color, and contour.
5. Try-in & delivery – We verify margins, bite, and shade before final bonding/cementation.
6. Maintenance – Hygiene visits and at-home tips to protect your investment (night guard if you clench).

Materials chosen for you

• Zirconia: High strength for molars and heavy bite forces.
• Lithium disilicate (e.max): Beautiful translucency in the smile zone.
• Composite resins: Seamless repairs for conservative fixes.
• Gold (select cases): Exceptional longevity and gentle on opposing teeth.

We’ll match materials to the tooth’s location, your bite, esthetic goals, and habits.

Comfort, recovery & longevity

• Thorough local anesthesia; nitrous oxide available.
• Mild post-visit sensitivity is common and typically resolves within days.
• With good home care and regular checkups, modern restorations last many years; avoid chewing ice and consider a night guard for clenching/grinding.

Cost & insurance

Fees vary by procedure and materials. We’re insurance-friendly—our team verifies benefits in advance, provides clear written estimates, and submits claims on your behalf. Flexible payment options are available for multi-phase care.

FAQs

What is “restorative dentistry”?
Care that repairs or replaces teeth to restore function and appearance—ranging from fillings to implants and full-arch solutions.

Do I always need a crown for a cracked tooth?
Not always. Small cracks may be managed with onlays or bonding; full crowns are best when strength and coverage are essential.

Bridge vs. implant—which is better?
Implants don’t involve neighboring teeth and help preserve bone; bridges can be faster in some scenarios. We’ll compare both for your case.

Will my restorations look natural?
Yes. We customize shade, shape, and surface texture to blend with your smile and complexion.

How do I make restorations last?
Brush and clean between teeth daily, keep regular hygiene visits, wear a night guard if you clench, and avoid very hard foods on edges.
