What is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged teeth to restore normal function, comfort, and appearance.
Patients usually want to know what it means for them, and the answer is simple: restorative dentistry helps you chew comfortably, protect your remaining teeth, and maintain a healthy smile long term.
Restorative care may be recommended if you have:
- Tooth decay or old, worn fillings
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Missing teeth
- Discomfort when chewing
- Structural damage from grinding or trauma
Our goal is always conservative care first, preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Our Restorative Dentistry Services in Palo Alto
Our restorative dentistry services in Palo Alto are designed to repair damaged teeth while preserving comfort, function, and a natural appearance. Each treatment is thoughtfully planned to support long-term oral health, using modern materials and techniques that feel as good as they look.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns restore strength, shape, and function to teeth that are cracked, weakened, or heavily restored.
Crowns are custom-crafted to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth. At Mary Qian Dental Group, we focus on:
- Precise fit for comfort and longevity
- Natural color and contour
- Durable materials designed for everyday use
Crowns are often used after large fillings, fractures, or root canal treatment.
Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings repair cavities while maintaining a natural appearance.
These restorations are designed to:
- Blend seamlessly with your smile
- Restore chewing function
- Support long-term tooth health
We remove decay gently and place fillings with careful attention to comfort and bite balance.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighboring teeth.
A well-planned bridge helps:
- Restore your ability to chew evenly
- Prevent nearby teeth from shifting
- Improve speech and facial balance
We design bridges that feel secure and look natural, so your smile feels complete again.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays repair moderate tooth damage when a full crown is not needed.
Often called partial crowns, they offer:
- Added strength compared to standard fillings
- Precise, conservative restoration
- Long-lasting support for damaged teeth
They are an excellent option for patients who want durability without over-treating the tooth.

Get ready for 5-star Experience
Dr. Qian is responsive, precise, and goes the extra mile to keep patients comfortable. I’ve had lots of dental work, and as a new patient in the past year, she guided me through the treatment of 2 complicated toothaches. On the lighter side, I was also very pleased with my teeth whitening procedure. Her staff is warm, helpful and professional.
