A cracked molar, a lingering cavity, or a gap where a tooth used to be can make everyday moments harder than they should be. Chewing your favorite foods, speaking clearly, and smiling in photos all depend on teeth that are strong and whole. When damage goes untreated, it rarely stays small, and a minor problem can grow into pain, infection, or tooth loss.
At White Smiles Family Dentistry, we offer restorative dentistry in Orem as part of our general dentistry in Orem. Our dentists repair damaged teeth, replace missing ones, and rebuild your bite so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence again. We welcome patients from Orem, Vineyard, Lindon, and nearby Utah County communities, and we explain every option before treatment begins.
Restorative dentistry repairs or replaces teeth that have been damaged by decay, injury, or wear. The goal is to bring back both function and appearance while protecting as much of your natural tooth as possible. Damage like this is common, and the CDC’s 2024 Oral Health Surveillance Report found that nearly 21% of adults ages 20 to 64 had untreated decay in at least one permanent tooth.
Because every mouth is different, our restorative dentist in Orem builds a plan around your needs instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. Treatment can be as simple as a tooth-colored filling or as involved as replacing a missing tooth with an implant.
We offer the following treatments to help you restore comfort, strength, and a natural-looking smile.
A crown covers a cracked, weakened, or heavily filled tooth to restore its shape and strength. With CEREC same-day crowns, we use CAD/CAM technology to design, make, and place your custom crown in a single visit when you are an eligible candidate. That means fewer trips to our office and a faster path back to normal.
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a custom prosthetic tooth to neighboring teeth or to dental implants. Bridges help you chew and speak more easily and fill in visible gaps. We walk you through traditional and implant-supported options so you can choose what fits your health and budget.
When a cavity is caught early, a composite filling can repair the tooth and blend in with the surrounding enamel. We remove the decay, shape the filling, and match the shade to your natural teeth. Treating small cavities promptly can often help you avoid larger repairs later.
A deep cavity, crack, or injury can infect the inside of a tooth and cause serious pain. Root canal therapy removes the infected tissue so we can save your natural tooth and relieve your discomfort. In many cases, we then protect the treated tooth with a crown.
A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth, and an implant crown completes the restoration. We use 3D CBCT imaging and precision surgical planning to place single-tooth dental implants in Orem with care and accuracy.
When a tooth is too damaged to save, we offer simple and surgical extractions with your comfort in mind. Removing it can help protect neighboring teeth, and we can then talk through replacing it with a bridge or implant.
Healthy gums support every restoration we place. We treat gum disease with options such as laser treatment and antibiotic therapy, depending on how far it has progressed, so your teeth and the bone around them stay stable.
If many teeth are worn, damaged, or missing, a full mouth reconstruction can rebuild your bite and smile through a planned series of treatments. We combine restorations such as crowns, bridges, and implants into one personalized plan.
Your first visit starts with a thorough exam, because the right restoration depends on what is happening in and around the tooth. We use digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and 3D CBCT imaging to see the whole picture. During your exam, we look at:
We then explain your options in plain language, including the benefits and timeline for each, so you can decide with confidence.
Healthy teeth and a beautiful smile are not separate goals. Many restorations improve how your smile looks, and our cosmetic dentistry in Orem services can complement your treatment plan. If you want to refresh several teeth at once, we may pair crowns with porcelain veneers for a balanced, natural result.
If you are dealing with a sudden crack, chip, or toothache, contact us right away. Our emergency dentistry services can help relieve pain and protect the tooth until we complete your restoration.
Dental work should feel as comfortable as possible. We offer warm blankets, text appointment reminders, free on-site parking, same-day appointments, and sedation options for patients who feel anxious. Dr. White also speaks Spanish, so more of our neighbors can ask questions in the language they are most comfortable with.
We also want treatment to be within reach. We offer financing through CareCredit and an in-house dental membership plan, and we work with many PPO dental plans.
Dr. Jeremy White and Dr. Darren Gardner bring more than 30 years of combined experience to our Orem practice, and we are proud to be affiliated with the American Dental Association and the Utah Dental Association.
If you have a damaged or missing tooth, there is no need to wait for it to get worse. Schedule your consultation with White Smiles Family Dentistry today, and let us help you find the restorative treatment that is right for you.
