Restorative Dentistry — Vantara Dental

Philosophy

Conservative first. Definitive when needed.

We'll always choose the smallest intervention that solves the problem for the longest time. A filling before a crown. A crown before a root canal. A root canal before an extraction. We earn the bigger work when we need it.

Every restorative plan explains what's failing, what will fail next if left alone, and what's optional versus necessary. You'll leave knowing not only what we're recommending but what we're deliberately not recommending — and why.

Treatments

What we treat, and how.

Tooth-colored fillings (composite)

Nano-hybrid composite, layered for natural light-reflection and sealed under magnification. We only use bonded composites — no amalgam.

Typical fee: $195–$360 per surface · Single-visit

Ceramic inlays & onlays

When a tooth needs more than a filling but less than a crown. CAD-designed, lab-milled E.max ceramic — stronger than composite, more conservative than a full crown.

Typical fee: $1,150–$1,480 · Two visits

All-ceramic crowns

Full-coverage zirconia or lithium-disilicate crowns for broken, heavily-filled, or root-treated teeth. Digitally designed from an intraoral scan — no goop, no temporary that falls off.

Typical fee: $1,495–$1,895 per crown · Two visits

Root-canal therapy (endodontics)

Rubber-dam isolation, rotary NiTi files, apex locator, bioceramic sealer. Modern root canals are typically painless — more like a long filling than an ordeal.

Typical fee: $1,085–$1,450 · Usually single-visit

Bridges (traditional & implant-supported)

For replacing one or two missing teeth when implants aren't the right fit. Implant-supported bridges preserve adjacent tooth structure and bone.

Typical fee: $3,900–$5,400 · Two to three visits

Post & core / full rebuild

When there's little tooth structure left after a root canal, we rebuild with fiber posts and bonded composite before crowning — ensuring the rebuild absorbs force without splitting the root.

Typical fee: $385–$580 · Same-visit as crown prep

How it works

From exam to finished work.

01

Diagnose with real data

Magnification, photos, radiographs, and when needed CBCT. No "we think" — only "we can see."

02

Plan, quote, sequence

Written plan with phased options. Cost in writing. No cost revisions on the day of treatment unless you change the scope.

03

Scan, design, place

Intraoral scan replaces impressions. Lab-milled restorations with digital margins — better fit than a hand-fit crown from a physical mold.

04

Verify, adjust, document

Every restoration bite-checked, occlusion-equilibrated, photographed. Your record captures the "before" so we can notice drift later.

Materials

What we use, and what we never use.

Restorative outcomes live or die on material science. We standardize on the best available — even when cheaper options exist.

Composite: 3M Filtek Supreme Ultra (nano-hybrid) — never amalgam
Ceramic crowns: Ivoclar E.max lithium-disilicate, or monolithic zirconia where strength wins
Implant restorations: Custom-milled titanium abutments · screw-retained when possible
Bonding agents: Kuraray Clearfil SE — gold-standard adhesion
Never: amalgam, PFM crowns for anterior teeth, stock posts, or "temporary" crowns left longer than 3 weeks

Dentistry built to stay done.
