Restorative Dentistry in Covina, CA
Fix Damage. Restore Comfort. Love Your Smile Again.
Cavities, chips, cracks, and worn or missing teeth can make eating uncomfortable and smiling stressful. Restorative dentistry repairs damage, rebuilds function, and helps you feel confident again—often in just one or two visits.
What Is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing teeth and replacing missing ones so you can chew comfortably, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. Dr. Cohen uses durable, natural-looking materials designed to blend with your smile.
Common Problems We Treat
• Cavities or worn fillings
• Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
• Sensitive or painful teeth when biting
• Missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures
• Old metal fillings you’d like replaced with tooth-colored materials
Tooth-Colored Fillings (Composite)
When decay is small to moderate, bonded composite fillings are a conservative, attractive solution.
• Blends with your natural tooth shade
• Preserves healthy tooth structure
• Strong, quick, and comfortable
Inlays & Onlays (Porcelain or Ceramic)
For larger areas of damage that don’t need a full crown, inlays and onlays provide extra strength and a precise fit.
• Replacing big, old fillings
• Strengthening chewing surfaces
• Matching natural tooth color and shine
Dental Crowns (All-Ceramic)
A crown covers the entire visible part of a tooth to restore shape, strength, and appearance.
• A tooth is cracked or badly worn
• After a root canal
• A large filling won’t hold long term

Bridges: Replace a Missing Tooth
A dental bridge uses neighboring teeth to hold a lifelike replacement tooth in place.
Why patients choose bridges:
• Fixed (not removable)
• Looks natural and restores chewing
• Can prevent teeth from shifting
See our Dental Bridges page.
Dental Implants: The Gold Standard for Replacemen
Implants replace the tooth root and support a crown, bridge, or denture for a stable, long-lasting result.
• Looks and feels like a natural tooth
• Protects bone where the tooth was lost
• Lets you chew confidently

Dentures & Implant-Supported Dentures
Today’s dentures are lighter, more comfortable, and more natural-looking than ever. Implant-supported designs “snap” into place for extra stability.
• Partial dentures for several missing teeth
• Full dentures for a complete arch
• Implant-retained dentures for superior hold
Root Canal Therapy (Comfort-Focused)
When decay or a crack reaches the nerve, root canal therapy can save your tooth and relieve pain. We prioritize comfort and partner with trusted endodontic specialists when needed.
Bite Guards (Nightguards)
Clenching and grinding can crack teeth and wear down restorations. A custom nightguard protects your smile while you sleep.
