Restorative dentistry addresses teeth that have been weakened by decay, fractured by injury, or lost entirely. The field has advanced significantly beyond the metal fillings and removable dentures of past decades. Today’s restorations use tooth-colored composites, porcelain, and zirconia that bond directly to your natural tooth structure and blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth.
Unlike preventive dentistry, which focuses on keeping healthy teeth healthy, restorative care intervenes after damage has occurred. Addressing problems early prevents minor issues from progressing into painful infections or tooth loss that requires more complex and costly treatment down the line. Dr. Naylor evaluates each patient’s condition with digital x-rays and clinical examination to recommend the most conservative effective approach.
Our Las Vegas practice provides restorative treatments covering every level of dental damage, from small cavities to full-arch reconstruction. Each service is designed to preserve your natural tooth structure whenever possible while restoring full function and aesthetics.
Every restorative case at our practice begins with a thorough diagnostic evaluation. Dr. Naylor uses digital imaging to assess the extent of damage, identify any underlying issues that contributed to the problem, and map out a treatment sequence that addresses both the immediate concern and long-term oral health.
Conservative treatment is the default approach. A tooth that can be saved with a filling will not receive a crown. A tooth that responds well to root canal therapy will not be extracted. When multiple teeth need restoration, Dr. Naylor prioritizes the most urgent repairs first and phases remaining work into a timeline that respects both your oral health needs and your budget.
For patients who need implant-based restorations, Dr. Naylor handles both the surgical placement and the final prosthetic in our Centennial Hills office. Most Las Vegas practices refer implant patients to an outside oral surgeon and only handle the crown. Our integrated model eliminates referral delays and keeps one doctor accountable for your results from start to finish.
Some dental problems announce themselves with sharp pain or visible damage. Others develop gradually and go unnoticed until they require more extensive treatment. Common signs that you may need restorative care include:
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1 in 4 adults in the United States have untreated tooth decay. Addressing these issues promptly with restorative treatment prevents the progression to root infections, tooth extractions, and the bone loss that follows.
Restorative treatment costs vary based on the type and number of procedures involved. A composite filling for a small cavity costs significantly less than a dental crown or implant-supported restoration. During your consultation, our team provides a clear cost estimate before any treatment begins.
We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental PPO, and Guardian, and our team handles insurance claim submissions on your behalf. For procedures not fully covered by insurance, we offer 0% APR financing through CareCredit and Cherry, along with extended payment plans through Proceed Finance. Our in-house dental membership plan provides preventive care and treatment discounts for patients without insurance coverage.

Damaged or missing teeth force you to avoid certain foods and chew unevenly, which strains your jaw and other teeth. Restorative treatments rebuild proper bite alignment so you can eat comfortably and maintain balanced nutrition.
Modern restorative materials bond directly to your existing tooth, allowing Dr. Naylor to remove only damaged tissue and conserve as much healthy structure as possible. This conservative approach extends the life of your natural teeth.
A small cavity left untreated becomes a root infection. A cracked tooth without a crown eventually fractures completely. Restorative treatment at the right time prevents minor problems from escalating into emergencies that cost more and require more invasive procedures.
Dr. Naylor examines your teeth with digital x-rays and clinical assessment to identify all areas of damage, determine the underlying cause, and map out a prioritized treatment plan.
Using the most conservative effective approach, Dr. Naylor repairs or replaces damaged tooth structure with materials matched to your natural teeth in color, shape, and strength.
Regular checkups monitor the integrity of your restorations and catch any new issues early. With proper home care and biannual visits, most restorations provide years of reliable function.

Restorative dentistry repairs teeth that are damaged, decayed, or missing, focusing on function and oral health. Cosmetic dentistry improves the appearance of teeth that are already healthy. Many treatments overlap, as a well-placed crown or implant restores function while also looking natural.
Porcelain and zirconia crowns typically last 10 to 15 years with proper care. Factors that influence longevity include the location of the crown, your bite forces, and how consistently you maintain oral hygiene and attend regular checkups.
Dr. Naylor uses local anesthesia for all restorative procedures, and sedation options are available for patients with dental anxiety. Most patients report that treatment is more comfortable than they expected. Post-procedure sensitivity is typically mild and resolves within a few days.
In many cases, yes. Root canal therapy can save teeth with deep infections, and dental crowns can restore teeth with large areas of decay or fractures. Dr. Naylor evaluates each tooth individually and recommends extraction only when preservation is no longer viable.
Costs depend on the type and complexity of treatment. A composite filling costs less than a crown, which costs less than an implant. Our team provides detailed estimates before treatment and offers financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Proceed Finance to make care accessible.
In most cases, yes. Root canal therapy removes the infected pulp tissue, which weakens the remaining tooth structure. A crown covers and protects the treated tooth, restoring full chewing strength and preventing fractures.
