Comprehensive Solutions for Dental Damage
When decay creates cavities in your teeth, dental fillings restore the tooth's structure and function while preventing further damage. We offer tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while providing excellent durability. The procedure is typically completed in a single visit, beginning with removing the decayed portion of the tooth, cleaning the area, and placing the filling material to restore the tooth's shape and strength.
Crowns (caps) cover and protect teeth that have been weakened by extensive decay, large fillings, fractures, or root canal treatment. These custom-made restorations encase the entire visible portion of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. We offer crowns made from various materials, including porcelain and porcelain-fused-to-metal, selected based on the location of the tooth and your specific needs. Crowns typically require two visits—one for preparation and impressions, and another for placement.
Dental bridges literally "bridge" the gap created by one or more missing teeth. These fixed prosthetics consist of replacement teeth anchored by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or implants. Bridges restore your smile's appearance, maintain the shape of your face, prevent remaining teeth from drifting, and reestablish your ability to chew and speak properly. Like crowns, bridges usually require two visits to complete and are custom-made to match your natural teeth.
When infection or inflammation develops in the pulp (inner tissue) of a tooth, root canal therapy removes the damaged tissue while preserving the outer tooth structure. Contrary to popular misconceptions, modern root canal procedures are typically no more uncomfortable than receiving a filling. After cleaning and shaping the inner canals, they are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed. The tooth is usually then protected with a crown to restore full function and prevent fracture.
For patients missing multiple or all teeth, dentures provide a removable replacement option. Full dentures replace all teeth in an arch, while partial dentures fill in gaps when some natural teeth remain. Today's dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before, with various attachment options available to improve stability. We custom-design dentures to complement your facial features and provide proper support for your lips and cheeks, restoring both function and aesthetics.
Take the first step toward better oral health.
Restorative dentistry focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating oral diseases and damage to restore the function and aesthetics of your smile. These treatments repair decay, replace missing teeth, restore worn or broken teeth, and address changes in your bite.
When tooth structure is compromised through decay, fracture, or wear, restorative procedures rebuild and protect what remains, preventing further damage and potential tooth loss. For teeth that cannot be saved or are already missing, replacement options restore your ability to speak, eat, and smile with confidence.
At Divine Family Dental, our restorative treatments focus not just on fixing immediate problems but on providing long-term solutions that maintain your oral health and prevent future issues.

The longevity of dental restorations varies based on the type of restoration, materials used, location in the mouth, your oral hygiene practices, and habits like grinding or clenching. On average, fillings typically last 5-10 years, crowns and bridges 10-15 years, and dentures 5-7 years before needing replacement or adjustment. However, with excellent care and regular dental check-ups, many restorations can last significantly longer. We use high-quality materials and techniques to maximize the lifespan of your restorations.
Yes, modern dental materials and techniques allow us to create restorations that look remarkably natural. For visible teeth, we typically use porcelain or composite materials that can be matched to the exact shade of your surrounding teeth and reflect light similarly to natural tooth enamel. Even metal-based restorations can be designed with tooth-colored outer surfaces. Dr. Kaur has an excellent eye for aesthetics and pays careful attention to the shape, size, and color of restorations to ensure they blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
Your comfort is our priority during all procedures. We use effective local anesthesia to ensure you don’t feel pain during treatment, and we offer sedation options for patients with dental anxiety or for more complex procedures. You may experience some sensitivity or discomfort after certain procedures as the affected area heals, but this is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and are always available to address any concerns during your recovery.
The ideal restoration depends on multiple factors, including the extent of damage, the location of the tooth, your budget, aesthetic goals, and long-term oral health considerations. During your consultation, Dr. Kaur will thoroughly examine your teeth, discuss your concerns and preferences, and explain the advantages and limitations of appropriate options for your situation. We may use digital X-rays or other diagnostic tools to assess the full extent of damage. Our goal is to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about your dental care.
Most dental insurance plans provide some coverage for restorative procedures, particularly when they’re deemed medically necessary rather than purely cosmetic. Coverage levels vary widely between plans, with basic procedures like fillings typically covered at a higher percentage than major procedures like crowns or bridges. Our office staff is experienced in working with insurance providers and can help you understand your benefits and estimated out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins. For patients without insurance or with limited coverage, we also offer financing options to make necessary care more affordable.
