Restorative Services at Our Brier Creek Office
Our Brier Creek location offers every category of restorative treatment, allowing your care to progress from diagnosis through final restoration without referrals to outside specialists. Common restorative procedures performed at this office include tooth-colored composite fillings for cavities, custom dental crowns that cap and reinforce weakened teeth, dental bridges that replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent healthy teeth, and inlays and onlays that repair moderate damage with lab-quality precision.
Patients who have lost a tooth or need an extraction also have access to implant-based solutions at our practice. A dental implant replaces the missing root with a titanium post and tops it with a crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. For restorations that require a crown — whether over a natural tooth or an implant — our in-house CEREC® same-day crown system can often complete the entire process in a single appointment.
Your Brier Creek Dental Team
Our Brier Creek dental professionals evaluate every restorative case with a focus on preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible while delivering a result that holds up to daily wear. The team stays current through continuing education in adhesive dentistry, digital restoration design, and minimally invasive techniques, ensuring that every patient benefits from up-to-date clinical knowledge.
The technology in our Brier Creek office reinforces that expertise. Digital x-rays reveal decay depth, root condition, and bone density in seconds with significantly less radiation than traditional film. Intraoral cameras capture magnified images that help you see exactly what your dentist sees, making it easier to understand your diagnosis and feel confident in the recommended plan. Our CEREC milling unit designs and fabricates porcelain crowns chairside, so many patients leave with a permanent restoration the same day they arrive.
What to Expect During Treatment
 Restorative visits at our Brier Creek office follow a consistent sequence designed to keep you informed and comfortable at every stage. Your appointment begins with a focused evaluation of the affected tooth, including digital imaging when clinically indicated. Your dentist reviews the findings with you on a chairside monitor, explains your diagnosis in plain language, and outlines each treatment option along with its expected timeline and cost.
Once you choose a treatment path, your dentist prepares the tooth under local anesthesia. For a filling, this involves removing decayed material and shaping the cavity to receive the composite. For a crown, the tooth is carefully reshaped to accept the new restoration. If CEREC technology is being used, a digital scan replaces the traditional putty impression, and your crown is designed, milled, and placed during the same visit.
After the restoration is bonded or cemented, your dentist checks your bite, makes fine adjustments, and polishes the surface for a comfortable, natural feel. You receive aftercare instructions specific to your procedure, and a follow-up appointment is scheduled when appropriate. Keeping up with routine exams and professional cleanings helps protect your restoration and catch new issues before they require additional work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of restorative procedures do you offer at Brier Creek?
Our Brier Creek office provides a comprehensive range of restorative treatments, including composite fillings, dental crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, dental implants, and full mouth reconstruction. We also offer CEREC same-day crowns, which allow many patients to receive a permanent porcelain crown in a single appointment rather than waiting weeks for a lab-fabricated restoration.
How long does a CEREC same-day crown take?
A CEREC crown appointment typically takes about two hours from start to finish. That includes the digital scan, crown design, milling, and final placement. Because everything happens in one visit, you leave with a permanent porcelain crown and avoid the temporary restoration and follow-up appointment that traditional crowns require.
Will my dental restoration look natural?
Yes. We use tooth-colored composite resin for fillings and high-quality porcelain or ceramic for crowns, bridges, and inlays. Each restoration is shade-matched to blend with your surrounding teeth, so the result is virtually indistinguishable from your natural smile. Our CEREC system further enhances accuracy by designing each crown digitally based on a precise scan of your tooth.
Is restorative dental treatment covered by insurance?
Most dental insurance plans classify restorative procedures as medically necessary and cover a portion of the cost. Coverage levels depend on your specific plan and the type of restoration — fillings typically receive a higher percentage of coverage than crowns or bridges. Our team verifies your benefits before treatment and provides a clear estimate of any out-of-pocket costs so you can make an informed decision.
What are the Brier Creek office hours?
Our Brier Creek office is open Monday from 8:30am to 5:30pm, Tuesday through Thursday from 8:30am to 4:30pm, and Friday from 8:00am to 2:00pm. We recommend calling ahead to schedule your restorative consultation, as longer procedures may require specific appointment blocks to accommodate the full treatment in one visit.
