Restorative Dentistry

Crowns, Bridges & Dentures

Time-tested restorations that rebuild damaged teeth and replace missing ones so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

When a tooth is badly damaged, or when teeth are missing, restorative dentistry rebuilds your smile and your ability to eat and speak comfortably. We offer crowns, bridges, and dentures, each tailored to your needs and crafted to look natural.

A crown, sometimes called a cap, covers and protects a tooth that is cracked, heavily filled, or weakened, often after a root canal. Modern crowns are shaded to match your natural teeth and restore full strength and function.

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a natural-looking replacement to the teeth on either side, filling the gap and keeping your remaining teeth from shifting.

Dentures, both full and partial, remain a reliable, affordable way to replace many or all of your teeth. We focus on a comfortable fit and a natural appearance, and we make adjustments to get it right.

With decades of restorative experience, Dr. Nunnery will help you weigh crowns, bridges, dentures, and implant-supported options so you can choose what truly fits your mouth, your goals, and your budget.

Frequently asked questions

How long do crowns and bridges last?

With good care, quality crowns and bridges commonly last many years. Daily hygiene and regular checkups protect your investment.

Are dentures still a good option?

Yes. Modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever and remain an affordable way to replace many teeth. We also discuss implant-supported options.
