Restorative dentistry in Philadelphia & the Main Line
Expert care for damaged,
missing, or failing teeth
Restorative treatments at The Dental Spa
Dental crowns
A crown can rebuild a cracked, weakened, heavily filled, or worn tooth so you can use it comfortably again. Your restoration is designed around the location of the tooth, your bite, and the amount of force it needs to handle. Materials may include lithium disilicate, feldspathic porcelain, zirconia, or gold.
Dental implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth from the root up, helping restore chewing ability, stability, and the appearance of your smile. At The Dental Spa, implant care can include 3D imaging, guided placement, bone grafting when needed, and your final restoration in one coordinated treatment plan. Implant consultations are complimentary.
Bridges
If you are missing one or more teeth in the same area, a dental bridge can fill the space with a fixed restoration. Your prosthodontist will evaluate the surrounding teeth, bone, and bite to determine whether a traditional bridge or an implant-supported option makes more sense for you.
Dentures and implant-supported dentures
Missing most or all of your teeth does not mean settling for a loose or uncomfortable smile. Depending on your needs, we can design complete dentures, partial dentures, implant-supported dentures, or fixed full-arch implant restorations to improve stability, chewing, speech, and appearance.
All-on-4® Implants
All-on-4® dental implants replace an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. This innovative approach provides immediate stability, natural aesthetics, and life-changing function, often in fewer visits than traditional methods. Explore All-on-4® Implants
Inlays and onlays
Sometimes a filling is not strong enough, but a full crown would remove more tooth structure than necessary. An inlay or onlay restores the damaged portion of the tooth while preserving more of the healthy enamel that remains.
Full mouth reconstruction
If years of wear, missing teeth, bite problems, trauma, or failing dental work affect multiple parts of your mouth, treating one tooth at a time may not solve the larger problem. Full mouth reconstruction combines the restorative treatments you need into one coordinated plan designed around your bite, function, comfort, and appearance.
Bone grafting
Bone loss can make dental implant placement more difficult, but it does not automatically mean implants are off the table. Bone grafting, socket preservation, sinus lifts, and other regenerative procedures can help rebuild the foundation needed to support an implant.

Why see a prosthodontist for restorative dentistry?
A prosthodontist focuses specifically on restoring and replacing teeth, including complex cases involving implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, worn bites, and full-mouth rehabilitation.
That additional training can be especially useful when several teeth are involved, previous dental work has failed, or your bite needs to be considered as part of the treatment plan.
The Dental Spa is a prosthodontist-led practice. Dr. Nicole Deakins is a board-certified prosthodontist and Fellow of the American College of Prosthodontists, and the practice’s prosthodontists have completed advanced specialty training in restorative care.

Frequently asked questions about restorative dentistry
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry repairs or replaces damaged and missing teeth so your mouth can function comfortably again.
Common restorative treatments include fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, inlays, onlays, bone grafting, and full mouth reconstruction.
What is the difference between restorative dentistry and prosthodontics?
Restorative dentistry is the broad category of treatments used to repair or replace teeth.
Prosthodontics is a recognized dental specialty focused on restoring missing, damaged, or severely worn teeth, particularly when treatment is complex or involves multiple restorations.
Can The Dental Spa fix dental work from another office?
Yes. Patients can come to The Dental Spa for evaluation of crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, or other restorations that are damaged, uncomfortable, or no longer functioning as expected.
Your prosthodontist will first determine what is causing the problem before recommending whether the restoration should be repaired, replaced, or treated another way.
Do I need a prosthodontist for a dental crown?
Not every crown requires a prosthodontist.
Prosthodontic expertise can be particularly valuable when the tooth is difficult to restore, your bite is involved, several teeth need treatment, or previous restorations have repeatedly failed.
What can I do if several teeth need treatment?
You may benefit from a comprehensive restorative plan rather than treating each tooth separately.
A full mouth reconstruction can combine treatments such as crowns, implants, bridges, and other restorations into a coordinated sequence based on your bite, priorities, and overall oral health.
How much does restorative dentistry cost?
Cost varies considerably depending on the procedure and complexity of your case.
You will receive a personalized treatment plan with pricing before treatment begins. Implant consultations at The Dental Spa are complimentary.
Does dental insurance cover restorative dentistry?
Many dental plans provide some coverage for medically necessary restorative procedures such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
The Dental Spa is not in-network with dental insurance, so your exact reimbursement depends on your plan's out-of-network benefits. The team can submit claims on your behalf.
