What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing teeth that are damaged, worn, or missing. At SMDA, we approach restorative care with both form and function in mind, combining advanced technology, aesthetic detail, and a conservative philosophy that respects your natural smile. Whether you’re receiving a single crown or rebuilding your entire bite, your treatment is designed to feel seamless, beautiful, and built to last. We use digital scans, same-day milling, and lab-crafted ceramics to ensure every restoration fits and feels just right.
The benefits of restorative dentistry
A healthy smile doesn’t just look good. A healthy smile makes eating and speaking more comfortable so you can live life to the fullest.
Restore strength and stability
High-quality materials and precision fittings help you bite, chew, and speak with ease again.
Protect your smile from future damage
Repairing cracks, decay, or wear early helps prevent more invasive (and costly) procedures later on.
Rebuild natural aesthetics
Our restorations are thoughtfully designed to match your smile and support your facial harmony.
Our restorative services
Dental cleanings
Routine dental cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, and long-term oral health issues. At Santa Monica Dental Arts, our hygienists take their time, using gentle techniques, ultrasonic scalers, and personalized education to ensure your visit is thorough and comfortable. These visits also give us a chance to monitor any changes in your oral health and catch small issues before they become more complex.

Tooth-colored fillings
We use composite resin to restore small cavities with minimal removal of natural tooth structure. These fillings are shade-matched to your enamel and placed with care — ensuring your smile stays strong and natural-looking. With modern materials and advanced bonding techniques, fillings today are more durable and discreet than ever.
Same-day crowns
Using our in-house CEREC system, we can design, mill, and place your custom crown in a single visit — no messy impressions or temporary crowns required. Each crown is crafted from high-quality ceramic, shaped to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth, and digitally fitted for long-term comfort and strength. It’s efficient, precise, and designed to get you smiling again — fast.
Dental bridges
Dental bridges are a reliable, non-surgical solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. At SMDA, we use both traditional and implant-supported bridges to restore function while preserving the beauty of your smile. Every bridge is carefully designed to support your bite and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Dental implants
Considered the gold standard for tooth replacement, implants restore both the root and crown of a missing tooth. We work closely with trusted specialists for surgical placement and complete your case in-house with an expertly crafted restoration. Whether you’re missing one tooth or many, our team provides clear guidance, precise planning, and beautifully natural results.
Root canal therapy
Root canal therapy is a restorative procedure that treats infected or inflamed tooth pulp while preserving your natural tooth. At Santa Monica Dental Arts, we use advanced digital imaging and modern techniques to make the process efficient and comfortable. This treatment can relieve pain, prevent the need for an extraction, and restore full function to your smile. After treatment, a custom crown is often placed to protect and strengthen the tooth long-term.
Full-mouth rehabilitation
For patients dealing with multiple concerns — from worn or broken teeth to bite imbalance or jaw discomfort — full-mouth rehabilitation offers a comprehensive, phased approach to rebuild function and aesthetics. We collaborate closely with you to create a step-by-step plan that fits your lifestyle, timeline, and goals.
