Restorative Dentistry
Restore Your Smile with Comfort & Confidence
A healthy smile shouldn’t just look great — it should feel great, function well, and support your long-term health. At Modern Dental, our restorative dentistry services are designed to repair damaged teeth, replace missing ones, and bring your smile back to full strength.
Whether you’re dealing with a cavity, a cracked tooth, or tooth loss, Dr. Steven Beard provides gentle, personalized, and modern care using advanced technology and natural-looking materials. Our goal is simple: help you feel confident, comfortable, and proud of your smile again.
What Is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on rebuilding teeth that are worn, broken, damaged, or missing. It strengthens your bite, improves your comfort, and supports your overall health.
We treat patients from Chelsea, Birmingham, and surrounding Alabama communities, offering solutions that look natural and feel just like your own teeth.
Our Restorative Treatments
Tooth-Colored Fillings
We use biocompatible, BPA-free, tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These conservative restorations repair cavities while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Dental Crowns
When a tooth is cracked, severely decayed, or weakened, a crown can restore both strength and beauty. We offer high-quality materials like zirconia, ceramic, gold, and lithium disilicate (e.max) for long-lasting, natural results.
Dental Bridges
If you’re missing one or more teeth, a bridge can fill the gap with natural-looking, secure replacement teeth. Bridges restore function, prevent shifting, and blend beautifully with your smile.
Root Canal Therapy
When infection reaches the inner part of a tooth, root canal therapy can save it from extraction. Dr. Beard uses precise, gentle techniques to remove infection, relieve pain, and protect your natural tooth for years to come.
Full & Partial Dentures
Dentures can be an effective, budget-friendly way to replace missing teeth. We offer modern denture options that fit comfortably and help restore your smile’s aesthetics and function.
Dental Implants
As a leader in implant dentistry, Modern Dental offers single implants, snap-in dentures, and full-arch All-on-4 solutions for long-term stability and natural function. Implants are often the most durable and lifelike tooth replacement option available.
