Restorative Solutions

Tooth-Colored Fillings

We treat cavities using high-quality composite resins that match the exact shade of your tooth. These metal-free fillings bond directly to the enamel, stopping decay while maintaining a completely natural appearance.

Custom Dental Crowns

When a tooth is cracked or severely weakened, we protect it with a custom-fitted cap (crown) that covers the entire visible structure. This restores the tooth's original shape and strength, allowing you to chew with confidence again.

Root Canal Therapy

Despite its reputation, modern root canal therapy is a pain-relieving procedure designed to save a severely infected tooth. We gently remove the infection from the nerve, seal the tooth, and preserve your natural smile for years to come.

Gentle Extractions

While our goal is always to save your teeth, sometimes removal is necessary to protect your overall health. Dr. Tavarez performs extractions with the utmost care and compassion, planning immediate replacement options to keep your smile intact.

Why Westchester Trusts Dr. Tavarez for Restorative Care

A Gentle Touch: We prioritize a pain-free environment, utilizing effective anesthesia and a calming chairside manner to ensure your comfort during every procedure.
Conservative Philosophy: Dr. Tavarez believes in "saving the tooth first," recommending minimally invasive treatments before suggesting aggressive options like extractions.
Seamless Aesthetics: We use modern, tooth-colored materials for fillings and crowns so that your repairs are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Transparent Planning: You will never be in the dark; we explain the extent of the damage and your treatment options clearly before we begin.

The Benefits of Restorative Dentistry

Immediate Pain Relief: Procedures like root canals and fillings are designed to stop the toothache caused by infection or decay.
Improved Chewing Function: Repairing damaged teeth allows you to enjoy your favorite foods again without sensitivity or discomfort.
Prevention of Future Issues: Treating a small cavity now prevents it from becoming a major infection or requiring an extraction later.
Protection of Alignment: Saving a tooth prevents neighboring teeth from shifting into the empty space, which can ruin your bite.
Natural Appearance: Modern restorations are designed to look just like real enamel, so you can smile without feeling self-conscious about metal work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a crown or just a filling?

The choice depends on the amount of remaining healthy tooth structure.

Fillings are best for small-to-medium areas of decay where the tooth is still structurally sound.

Crowns are necessary when the tooth is cracked, has a very large cavity, or has undergone a root canal, as the crown acts as a "helmet" to hold the weakened tooth together and prevent it from breaking.

Is a root canal painful?

This is a common myth. In reality, a root canal is done to relieve pain, not cause it. With modern anesthesia and techniques, the procedure is typically no more uncomfortable than getting a standard filling. The pain patients associate with root canals is usually the pain of the infection before they come to the office—pain that the procedure eliminates.

How long do tooth-colored fillings last?

Composite (white) fillings are very durable and can last many years with proper care. On average, they may last 7 to 10 years, though this depends heavily on your oral hygiene habits and the size of the filling. Regular check-ups allow Dr. Tavarez to monitor them and replace them before they wear out.

What happens if I wait to treat a cavity?

Ignoring a cavity will not make it go away; it will only get bigger. Decay that starts in the enamel will eventually eat through to the soft nerve inside the tooth. What could have been a simple, inexpensive filling can turn into a painful infection requiring a root canal or even the extraction of the tooth. Treating it early is always the most conservative and cost-effective choice.
