Restorative

A bonded bridge is often used to replace a missing tooth. This is one of the most affordable options for tooth restoration.

A fixed bridge replaces a single tooth that has been lost due to decay or trauma.

A crown is sometimes termed a "cap" or "jacket." A crown will restore a large filling or a cracked tooth to its original size, shape and tooth color. A crown may be recommended after root canal therapy has been completed, as the tooth tends to become brittle and is more likely to fracture. A crown can strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and improves the appearance of your teeth.

Situations where a filling might compromise tooth structure and where a full crown is not necessary, an inlay or onlay will be placed to restore tooth damage caused by a cavity or trauma.

Our patients benefit from single-visit restorations including crowns, white fillings and veneers using a very high-tech piece of dental equipment called CEREC®.

Metal fillings are virtually a thing of the past and at Hillock Family Dental we have the technology to replace any unattractive metal fillings with natural looking tooth-colored fillings making them almost invisible to the naked eye. These composite fillings are structurally bonded to your teeth making them much less likely to fall out which was a regular problem with silver/amalgam fillings.

Dental veneers can make a huge difference for many patients. Dr. Donald Hillock, a cosmetic dentist in Modesto, can help you discover how they can change your smile.
