When teeth are damaged, decayed, or missing, the effects go well beyond appearance. Chewing becomes harder, bite alignment shifts, and the surrounding teeth may begin to drift or deteriorate over time. Restorative dentistry addresses these issues directly, rebuilding what has been lost and protecting what remains. Whether you are dealing with a single compromised tooth or a more complex situation involving several compromised teeth, the right restorative treatment can significantly improve both your oral function and your confidence.
At Bucks County Smiles, our restorative services are guided by an integrative approach that considers the full picture of your health, not just your teeth. Dr. David Faust, Dr. Kristen Scholl, and Dr. Aimee Dehbozorgi bring more than 75 years of combined experience to every case, collaborating with your medical team as needed to ensure your dental care fits within the broader context of your systemic health. Patients throughout the greater Trenton, NJ area rely on us for thoughtful, personalized care that goes beyond the surface.
Restorative dentistry covers a wide range of conditions and treatment needs. Whether you have a cracked tooth, untreated decay, or a gap left by a missing tooth, there is a solution designed to restore both function and appearance. According to the CDC’s Tooth Loss Facts, one in four adults aged 65 or older has eight or fewer remaining teeth, which significantly impacts the ability to eat a nutritious diet. Addressing these issues earlier rather than later may help preserve more of your natural dentition and reduce the complexity of treatment down the road.
The connection between oral health and overall systemic health is well established. Tooth loss and untreated decay have been linked to conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and chronic inflammation. This is why our team takes a whole-body perspective on every restorative case, reviewing your medical history and, when appropriate, communicating directly with your primary care physician or other specialists. You receive care that reflects your full health picture, not just what is visible in the chair.
Our team provides a full range of restorative options, customized to your individual needs and goals. Some of the most frequently recommended treatments include:
Dental implants: Titanium posts placed in the jawbone to support individual crowns, bridges, or full arch restorations
CEREC same-day crowns: Custom crowns designed, milled, and placed in a single visit using CAD/CAM technology
Full and partial dentures: Removable or fixed options for replacing multiple or all missing teeth
Dental bridges: A fixed solution for replacing one or more consecutive missing teeth using adjacent teeth as anchors
Dental bridges: A fixed solution for replacing one or more consecutive missing teeth using adjacent teeth as anchors
Bone grafting: A preparatory procedure to rebuild jawbone volume before implant placement
Each of these treatments is selected based on your individual dental history, bone health, and overall wellness goals.
We invest in the tools that make restorative dentistry more efficient and more comfortable. Our CEREC technology allows us to fabricate crowns in a single appointment, eliminating the need for temporaries and return visits. We use digital imaging and Computer-Aided Design to ensure each restoration fits precisely and looks natural. For patients who feel anxious about dental procedures, we offer sedation options to help you feel at ease throughout your visit.
Our practice also uses CBCT imaging and iTero scanning, giving our team a detailed, three-dimensional view of your teeth, bone, and surrounding structures before any treatment begins. This level of diagnostic precision allows us to plan restorative work with greater accuracy and reduces the likelihood of surprises during treatment. These are not just conveniences; they are tools that directly contribute to better outcomes for our patients.
For patients with extensive wear, decay, or tooth loss across multiple teeth, full-mouth reconstruction may be the most effective path forward. This comprehensive process combines restorative and cosmetic procedures to rebuild your entire smile, restoring proper bite function, comfortable chewing, and an appearance you feel good about. Our practice sees a significant number of patients over 50, including those managing complex medical conditions, and we are experienced in developing treatment plans that account for medications, systemic health factors, and recovery considerations.
Dr. Faust is nationally recognized for his work in full-arch and full-mouth rehabilitation, with patients traveling from across the country to receive care at our Yardley, PA, practice. His training has also included serving on faculty at PAC-live, The Hornbrook Group, and The Aesthetic Masters, where he has helped train other dentists in smile design and reconstructive techniques. This depth of background directly benefits every patient who walks through our doors.
Dental implants are among the most durable and natural-feeling options for tooth replacement. Unlike removable alternatives, implants integrate with the jawbone itself, which may help preserve bone density over time and prevent the gradual changes in facial structure that often accompany tooth loss. For patients with significant bone loss, bone grafting may be performed first to ensure there is sufficient healthy bone to support the implant.
Our team evaluates each patient’s candidacy carefully, factoring in overall health, bone quality, and treatment goals. We take time to explain every step of the process so you feel confident in your decision before moving forward.
