Restore Your Oral Health & Function

If you have damaged or missing teeth, restorative dentistry is exactly what you need to get your confidence back and restore your ability to chew easily. At Greenwood Dental Care, we use a variety of advanced technologies to repair your smile. From digital X-rays to digital impressions, you're in good hands with our experienced team and our use of technology. We'll ensure that your treatment is as precise and efficient as possible.

We offer a number of restorative dental services to get your smile back in shape, including:

Tooth-Colored Fillings - Our beautiful composite resin fillings blend in naturally with the rest of your smile. Plus, you won't worry about having metal in your mouth, as they are made from tiny particles of glass and plastic.
Dental Crowns - A custom-made crown will cap a damaged tooth, or, along with a dental implant, replace a missing tooth. It will also restore your chewing capacity.
Dental Bridges - Bridges can be anchored either by your other teeth or by dental implants. They will fill in the gaps in your smile left behind by missing teeth.
Dentures - Dentures are a good option for many people for replacing missing teeth. Whether you've lost all your teeth or you have a few healthy teeth remaining, we have a style of denture that's right for you.
Dental Implant Restorations - We can replace one missing tooth or restore teeth in your entire mouth using implants. These artificial tooth roots are embedded in your jaw and anchor sturdy, fully functional replacement teeth.
All-on-4^® Dental Implants - Dr. Kurziak can attach an entire row of fixed teeth to just four precisely placed implants. You'll never have to remove your teeth for cleaning as you do with conventional dentures.
Same-Day Smile - How would you like to receive your dental implants and new teeth all in the same day? It's possible with same-day smile. Leave our office with a mouth full of teeth, ready to face the world.

What a wonderful experience and an amazingly clean and modern facility. I dread going to the dentist, but this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. My husband and I recently moved to the area and we really lucked out by having found Greenwood Dental. Dr. Nikol was very thorough and detailed about the condition my teeth were in and what the game plan was moving forward. Happy to have found such a great dentist in the area!

I can’t say enough good things about Greenwood Dental Care! From the moment you walk in until the moment you leave, every member of the staff is incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. I have a lot of dental anxiety, but they’ve made every visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible. The entire process has been painless, and I truly appreciate the care and compassion they show their patients. I highly recommend this office to anyone, especially if you’re nervous about going to the dentist!

Very nice office! It was easy to make an appointment. It was for my 7 year old grandaughter. We got there a bit early (by 15 min or so) and was taken in early! Very nice hydgienist took great care of my grandaughter. She made her feel super comfortable (the child is usually very squirmy) but she was perfectly still even for the x-rays! Dr. Kurkiak was also very nice and great with the little one! Quickly found common ground with 7 year old. Everything went smoothly!

Elaine Field

I haven’t been to the dentist in over 10 years. Due to the fear of pain, and my gagging reflex is horrible! I came here to see Dr.Nikol. She and her wonderful staff made me feel really comfortable! If I was having a problem they would step back and let me get my bearings back and my thoughts outta my head! And April the support pup will also help you relax. She does a great job! I’ll tell you what, I won’t be afraid to come back here in the future! Oh and my bad gagging didn’t happen! Woohoo! See you next time Greenwood Dental thank you for an amazing experience!!

We had such a wonderful experience at this dental office! From the very beginning, the scheduling process was easy, organized, and welcoming. The entire staff creates such a warm, family-friendly atmosphere that immediately made us feel comfortable. I especially appreciated how patient and kind they were with my kiddos during their cleanings. The team made sure they felt relaxed and comfortable the whole time, which means so much as a parent. My husband and I also had very thorough exams, and the dentist took the time to explain everything clearly and create a game plan for our next steps instead of making us feel rushed. You can truly tell they care about their patients and want the best for your family’s dental health. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, professional, and trustworthy dental office!

Common Questions About Restorative Dentistry

How can restorative dentistry help me?

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth so you can smile, chew, and speak comfortably again. At our office, we use advanced technology and materials to restore your teeth's function and appearance. You'll feel more confident about your smile and overall health.

How do I know if I need restorative dental treatment?

You may need restorative care if you have cavities, broken or worn teeth, missing teeth, or failing restorations. Our team will perform a thorough exam, take digital X-rays if needed, and discuss your concerns. Your dentist can recommend the most appropriate, personalized treatment options.

What types of restorative treatments do you offer?

We offer a full range of restorative services, including tooth-colored fillings, dental crowns, bridges, dentures, dental implant restorations, All-on-4® implants, and same-day smile options. Our team will explain each solution in detail. You'll understand how we can restore your smile, bite, and confidence.

What are the main benefits of restorative dentistry for my health?

Restorative dentistry does more than improve your smile's appearance. By repairing or replacing teeth, we help you chew properly, speak clearly, and maintain healthy jaw joints and gums. This can make it easier to eat nutritious foods, reduce discomfort, and support your overall health and confidence.

What should I expect at my first restorative visit with your team?

At your first visit, we'll listen to your concerns, review your medical history, and perform a thorough exam. Your dentist may recommend digital X-rays or photos for a complete picture. Then we'll explain your options in plain language, answer questions, and create a step-by-step plan together.

How long do restorative treatments usually last?

The longevity of your restorations depends on the type of treatment, your bite, and how well you care for your mouth. With good home care and regular visits, many restorative treatments can last for many years. Our team will show you how to protect your investment in your smile.

How do you decide which restorative option is right for me?

We look at your oral health, lifestyle, goals, and budget. Your dentist evaluates the condition of your teeth, gums, and bone, then explains the pros and cons of each option. Together, we choose a plan that balances durability, comfort, appearance, and affordability, so it truly fits you.

I’m nervous about going to the dentist. Can I still get restorative care?

Absolutely. Many of our patients have dental anxiety, and we take that very seriously. Our team creates a calm, supportive environment, explains everything clearly, and offers comfort options, including sedation when appropriate. We move at your pace so you feel safe and in control throughout treatment.
