Restorative Dentistry Downtown Portland, OR Restorative dentistry is a specialized branch of dental care dedicated to diagnosing, preventing, and treating teeth that are seriously damaged, decayed, or missing. Restorative dentistry focuses on improving oral health while creating beautiful, functional smiles. Whether you're dealing with chipped enamel, infection, or missing teeth, the goal is to preserve as much of your natural teeth as possible and restore your confidence in everyday activities like eating, speaking, and smiling. Good oral health is foundational to overall well‐being. Untreated dental problems can lead to pain, infection, and even systemic health issues. At West End Dental in downtown Portland, our team of restorative dentists offers comprehensive solutions aimed to meet each patient's unique needs. From minimally invasive procedures to complex rehabilitative work, we strive to deliver lasting results that look, feel, and function like your original teeth. Dental ImplantsDental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth, providing a solid foundation that mimics the root structure of a natural tooth. An implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses through a process called osseointegration. Once healed, the implant supports a custom‐crafted crown that blends in flawlessly with your surrounding natural teeth. Benefits of Dental Implants
Ideal candidates for dental implants are adults with healthy gums and adequate bone density. During a thorough consultation, we evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan to restore both function and beauty. Full and Partial DenturesFor patients who have lost several or all of their teeth, full and partial dentures offer a removable option to restore chewing ability and facial structure.
While dentures may require an adjustment period, today's prosthetics are lighter, more natural‐looking, and easier to care for than ever before. We guide you through each step, from initial impressions to final fitting, ensuring optimal comfort and function.  Tooth ExtractionsDespite the best preventive care, there are instances when a tooth must be removed to protect overall oral health. Common reasons for tooth extractions include severe decay, advanced gum disease, overcrowding, or damage beyond repair.
After extraction, we provide guidance on pain management, oral hygiene, and options for replacing the extracted tooth. Impacted CaninesAn impacted canine occurs when an adult canine tooth fails to emerge through the gum line, often due to lack of space, obstruction, or abnormal positioning. Impacted canines can cause pain, infection, and damage to neighboring teeth if left untreated. Treatment Options
Inlays and OnlaysWhen a tooth has moderate decay or fracture that does not require a full crown, inlays and onlays provide conservative restorations that preserve more of the natural teeth structure.
Crafted from porcelain or composite resin, inlays and onlays are fabricated in a dental laboratory based on precise impressions. Once bonded, they restore strength and function while blending in naturally with the adjacent teeth.  Root CanalsA root canal becomes necessary when the pulp (nerve and blood vessels) inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental procedures. Contrary to common misconceptions, root canal therapy relieves pain and preserves the tooth rather than causing discomfort. Dental CrownsA dental crown, often called a cap, encases a damaged, decayed, or weak tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are recommended when a filling is insufficient to repair extensive damage or after root canal therapy. Dental BridgesA dental bridge literally "bridges" the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns on either side of the gap with pontics (false teeth) in between.
