When a tooth is damaged, decayed, or missing, restorative dentistry brings it back to full function. At Amity Dentistry, we provide restorative dental care for patients in Charlotte, Pineville, Matthews, and the surrounding areas. We use materials that hold up and look natural.
The goal is straightforward: fix what’s broken, protect what’s still healthy, and get you back to eating, speaking, and smiling without discomfort or self-consciousness.
Call (980) 423-1244 to schedule a restorative consultation or same-day emergency visit.
We see patients from across Charlotte and the surrounding communities like SouthPark, Ballantyne, Pineville, Matthews, Steele Creek, South End, and Dilworth. Our office is 10 minutes from SouthPark and easily accessible from Pineville via I-485.
Family-owned and trusted by 150+ Charlotte families.
When a tooth has a cavity, we remove the decay and fill it with composite resin that matches the color of your tooth. Unlike old metal amalgam fillings, composite bonds directly to the tooth and requires removing less healthy structure.
Most fillings are completed in a single visit. We use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout.
A crown covers and protects a tooth that has too much damage for a filling to address. We recommend crowns for:
Crowns are custom-made to match your surrounding teeth in shape and color. We take impressions and place a temporary crown while your permanent one is fabricated. Most crown procedures require two visits.
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth (or teeth) to the crowns placed on adjacent natural teeth. It’s a fixed restoration that stays in place and doesn’t need to be removed.
Bridges are a good option when:
Inlays and onlays are restorations used when a cavity or damage is too large for a filling but doesn’t require a full crown. They’re custom-made in a dental lab and bonded precisely to the tooth.
Both are made from tooth-colored materials and preserve more of the natural tooth than a crown would.
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, dentures restore function and appearance.
Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth. They rest on the gum tissue and are removable for cleaning.
Partial dentures fill gaps when some natural teeth remain. They clip onto existing teeth and can be removed at night.
We take accurate impressions to ensure the fit is as comfortable as possible. Adjustments are common after placement, and we build that follow-up time into the process.
For a more stable alternative, see our Dental Implants page for implant-supported denture options.
Some patients need comprehensive treatment addressing multiple dental problems simultaneously. Full-mouth rehabilitation combines various restorative procedures to restore health, function, and aesthetics.
This might involve fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, and gum treatment. We develop a detailed treatment plan prioritizing procedures to achieve the best outcome efficiently. Complex cases may take several months to complete, but the result is a fully functional, healthy mouth.
Proper care extends the life of restorative work. Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, attend regular checkups and cleanings, avoid chewing extremely hard foods, and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth.
Regular checkups let us monitor restorations and catch any problems early. Small repairs are simpler and less expensive than addressing major failures.
Old metal fillings, worn crowns, and failing bridges eventually need to be replaced. We assess the condition of existing restorations at every exam. When a restoration is failing, leaking, cracked, or causing decay underneath, replacing it early prevents a much bigger problem later.
If a crown falls off, a filling breaks, or a tooth fractures, the exposed tooth becomes immediately vulnerable to bacteria and further damage. Don’t wait.
Amity Dentistry provides same-day emergency restorative care for patients in Charlotte and Pineville.
Pain relief is our #1 priority.
Dr. Shrestha personally handles all emergency cases. Digital X-rays available the same day.
It depends on how much of the tooth structure is healthy. A small to moderate cavity is usually treated with a filling. When decay or damage is more extensive, or when the tooth is cracked, a crown is typically the better long-term solution. We show you the X-rays and explain the reasoning.
With good care, 10 to 15 years is typical. We evaluate the condition of existing crowns at every exam and let you know when one is approaching the end of its lifespan.
Yes, for most teeth. Composite resin is strong enough for most restorations and bonds well to tooth structure. Very large restorations in back teeth may sometimes warrant a different approach.
In most cases, yes. Call us first thing when it happens. We reserve same-day slots for situations like this and can often place a temporary or permanent restoration the same day.
Most plans cover fillings and often crowns at a percentage, typically 50 to 80% after the deductible. Coverage varies by plan. We verify your benefits before treatment and give you the out-of-pocket cost upfront.
You can reach our dental office in under 15 minutes from most of Pineville via I-485. Most restorative visits are one or two appointments. We keep them efficient.
