Rebuild What’s Broken. Restore What Matters.
Life takes a toll on our teeth – whether from decay, injury, wear, or time. But the right restorative dental care can do more than fix what’s broken. It can transform how you eat, speak, and smile.
At Hamden Dental Arts, we don’t just repair teeth. We restore confidence, function, and long-term oral health through tailored solutions rooted in advanced techniques and a deep understanding of your unique needs.
What is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry involves rebuilding and replacing teeth to restore health, function, and esthetics. Whether you’re dealing with cavities, cracked teeth, missing teeth, or failing dental work, we approach your care with precision and purpose.
Every treatment is designed to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible while re-establishing natural biomechanics, esthetics, and harmony in your bite. This is dentistry that’s not only beautiful but biomechanically sound and built to last.
Restorative Procedures We Offer
Inlays & Onlays
Ideal for moderate decay or fractures, these custom restorations provide a conservative alternative to full crowns, preserving healthy tooth structure.
Dental Crowns
For teeth that are significantly damaged, crowns restore strength, shape, and protection.
Bridges
Replace one or more missing teeth with a lifelike solution anchored to neighboring teeth or implants—restoring your bite and esthetic balance.
Dental Implant Restorations
Restore your implants with custom-crafted crowns, bridges, or full-arch prosthetics that feel and function just like natural teeth.
Dentures (Full & Partial)
Whether removable or implant-retained, our dentures are thoughtfully designed for comfort, function, and esthetics—with options for every lifestyle.
Implant-Retained Dentures (Hybrid or Locator)
Enjoy the stability of implants with the convenience of dentures. These secure options eliminate slipping and improve chewing power and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need restorative dentistry?
If you’re experiencing tooth pain, visible damage, missing teeth, or difficulty chewing, it’s time to explore restorative options. We’ll perform a comprehensive exam and guide you toward the right solution.
Is the treatment painful?
Not at all. We use gentle techniques and offer anesthesia to keep you comfortable at every step.
How long will my restorations last?
With proper care, most restorations can last 10 to 20 years or more. We utilize high-quality materials and bonded techniques to ensure maximum longevity.
Will my restorations look natural?
Absolutely. We custom-match color, shape, and translucency to blend perfectly with your surrounding teeth. You’ll look and feel like yourself, just better.
Is restorative dentistry expensive?
We believe in transparency and accessibility. Costs vary depending on your treatment, but we’ll provide detailed estimates and flexible financing options to help you plan.
Does insurance cover restorative procedures?
Coverage for restorative care depends on your specific plan, but many include out-of-network benefits for medically necessary treatments. We’ll walk you through your options and take care of submitting claims, ensuring your experience remains stress-free and straightforward.

Maintain excellent oral hygiene, visit us regularly for checkups, and avoid chewing ice or hard objects. We may also recommend a nightguard if you clench or grind your teeth.
