Repair what you have and replace what's missing
Restorative dentistry rebuilds teeth that decay, cracks, or wear have damaged and replaces the ones you've lost, so you can eat and smile without thinking about it. As an Arlington restorative dentist, Dr. Yousif Al Najafi favors the option that keeps the most of your natural tooth and holds up over time.
Every plan starts with digital x-rays and an iTero scan, plus a 3D CBCT scan for implants. You see the images, the options, and the cost before we begin.
Restorative treatments we offer
Tooth-colored fillings
Resin fillings that repair cavities and blend in. We also replace old silver fillings.
Inlays and onlays
Custom restorations that rebuild a damaged tooth while saving more of it than a crown.
Crowns
Porcelain, gold, or metal dental crowns that cover and protect a weak tooth.
Bridges
A fixed replacement for a missing tooth, anchored to the teeth on either side.

Treatment that clears infection from inside a tooth so you can keep it.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on how much healthy tooth is left. An onlay covers part of the tooth and keeps more of it, while a crown covers all of it. Your Arlington restorative dentist will show you the damage on screen and explain which one fits.
Two visits. We prepare the tooth and place a temporary, then a dental lab makes your crown and we bond it at the second visit. If a broken tooth can't wait, call for a same-day emergency spot.
Often, especially on back teeth that take the force of chewing. A crown protects the treated tooth from cracking.
An implant replaces the root and leaves the neighboring teeth alone, while a bridge relies on them for support. As an Arlington restorative dentist, Dr. Al Najafi weighs your bone, gums, and neighboring teeth before recommending either.
Stop chewing on one side
A cracked filling, a crown that feels off, or a gap that's been there for a while gets harder to fix the longer it waits. Request an appointment online, and we'll show you your options on screen.
