Dental Crowns & Bridges

Crowns and bridges are the foundation of structural restoration, protecting damaged teeth and replacing missing ones with fixed restorations built for strength and longevity.

CEREC technology allows us to design, mill, and place a permanent dental crown in Westerly in a single appointment. The crown is fabricated from durable ceramic in-office—no temporary crown in most cases, no second visit, and no waiting on an outside lab. Digital impressions capture the precise shape of the prepared tooth and feed directly into the CEREC design software, producing a well-fitting restoration with fewer variables than traditional lab-based fabrication.

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a prosthetic tooth between two crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth. It is a fixed restoration, cemented in place and functioning as a connected unit. It restores chewing function and prevents neighboring teeth from drifting into the gap over time.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the canals, and preserves the tooth rather than removing it. We perform anterior, pre-molar, and molar root canals at Wells Street Dental, covering the full range of common cases. When a case involves complexity that warrants more specialized care, we refer appropriately.

Root Canal Therapy

Tooth Extractions (Non-Wisdom Teeth)

When a tooth is too damaged or infected to be saved, removal is sometimes the most responsible path forward. We perform tooth extractions in Westerly for non-restorable teeth, and same-day emergency tooth removal is available for patients in acute pain. Local anesthesia, and oral conscious sedation are available to keep the procedure as comfortable as possible.

Tooth Extractions

Dentures & Partials

For patients missing several or all of their teeth, removable dentures and partial dentures restore function and facial support in a way that is practical and accessible.

Full dentures replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower arch, while partial dentures fill gaps left by several missing teeth while attaching to the remaining natural teeth for stability. Both are custom-fitted to your jaw and gum tissue to improve comfort during eating and speaking.

Dentures & Partials

Full Mouth Restoration

When damage or tooth loss extends across multiple areas of the mouth, full mouth restoration brings together crowns, bridges, dentures, root canal therapy, extractions, and fillings in a coordinated, phased treatment plan. Each phase is sequenced to build on the last, with bite function and structural stability guiding the order of treatment throughout.

Full Mouth Restoration

Composite Fillings for Tooth Repair

Composite fillings address decay and minor structural damage with a tooth-colored material that bonds directly to the tooth. They are a conservative, precise option for cavity repair that blends naturally with the surrounding dentition and preserves more of the original tooth structure than older alternatives.

Advanced Technology for Restorative Precision

The accuracy of the tools we use directly affects the fit, comfort, and longevity of every restoration.

CEREC technology designs and mills permanent crowns in-office during a single visit. Digital impressions capture detailed measurements of teeth and bite relationships without physical molds, reducing the variability that affects how well a restoration seats. Overjet AI diagnostics adds another layer of detection at the examination stage, helping identify concerns earlier and with greater consistency before a treatment plan is built.

Advanced Technology

Anesthesia Options for Comfortable Treatment

We offer three anesthesia options to match the level of care each patient and each procedure requires.

Local anesthesia is standard for most restorative procedures, fully numbing the treatment area before any work begins. Oral conscious sedation is available for patients who experience anxiety or want added relaxation during longer appointments.

Restorative Dentistry FAQs in Westerly, RI

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged teeth and replacing missing ones to restore function, strength, and comfort. It covers a wide range of treatments, from composite fillings and crowns to root canal therapy, dentures, and full mouth restoration—all aimed at returning the mouth to a stable, working condition. At Wells Street Dental, most restorative needs can be addressed in our Westerly office without requiring multiple providers.

Yes. CEREC technology allows many patients to receive a custom crown in a single appointment. The crown is designed digitally, milled from ceramic in-office, and placed the same day. With no temporary crown and no return visit required in most cases. Appointment length varies depending on the tooth and complexity, but the process typically takes a few hours from start to finish.

Root canal therapy is performed under local anesthesia to keep the tooth and surrounding tissue fully numb throughout the procedure. Most patients report that the appointment is far more manageable than they expected. The pain that sends patients in for treatment is typically much worse than the procedure itself.

No. Wisdom tooth extractions are not provided at Wells Street Dental. For all other non-restorable teeth, our team can evaluate and treat them promptly—including same-day emergency evaluations for acute pain. If you need a wisdom tooth removed, we can help point you toward an appropriate provider.

Depending on the number of missing teeth and the condition of the surrounding dentition, options include dental bridges, full dentures, partial dentures, and full mouth restoration plans that incorporate multiple treatment types. Implant-supported restorations are also available for patients who have had implants placed by an outside specialist and need the restorative phase completed. We review all appropriate options at your consultation.

Local anesthesia, and oral conscious sedation are available at Wells Street Dental. IV sedation is not offered, patients who require either will be directed to a provider equipped to deliver that level of care. We discuss anesthesia preferences before every procedure so the right approach is in place from the start.
