Restorative dentistry in Falls Church, VA

How a repair keeps a damaged tooth working instead of losing it
A damaged tooth may become more difficult to treat if decay, wear or a crack is left unaddressed. Restorative dentistry is designed to repair the problem, protect the tooth where possible and help you chew more comfortably.
The treatment recommendation depends on the tooth’s condition and the amount of healthy structure still present. A tooth-colored filling may repair a smaller area of damage, while a dental crown may protect a more weakened tooth. If a tooth is missing, a dental bridge or another replacement option may be considered.
Dr. Nam will explain the recommended treatment, discuss your options and review the expected cost before care begins.
What restorative dentistry covers at our Falls Church dental office
Restorative dentistry includes treatments that repair damaged teeth, protect weakened teeth and replace teeth that are missing.
Tooth-colored fillings
For decay and small chips. A tooth-colored filling can repair small areas of decay or minor chips while blending naturally with your smile.
Dental crowns
For a tooth too broken or worn to hold a filling. A dental crown covers and protects teeth affected by significant decay, cracks, wear or previous treatment.
Dental bridges
Dental bridges can replace one or more missing teeth by filling the space in your smile and supporting everyday chewing.
Root canal treatment
May be recommended when the inside of a tooth is inflamed or infected. The goal is to preserve the natural tooth when appropriate.
Tooth extractions
Tooth extractions may be recommended when a tooth cannot be repaired or safely maintained. We will explain the process and discuss appropriate next steps for your smile.
Choosing a repair for how much of the tooth is left
The right restoration depends on the health of the tooth, the amount of damage present and your goals for your smile.
- A fillingBEST FORSMALL DAMAGE
- A tooth-colored filling may be recommended when decay or a small chip can be repaired while enough healthy tooth structure remains.
- A crownBEST FORA WEAK TOOTH
- A dental crown may be a good option when a tooth has extensive damage, a large filling, a crack or other concerns that make a filling alone less suitable.
- A bridgeBEST FORA MISSING TOOTH
- A dental bridge may replace a missing tooth or teeth by using nearby teeth for support. Dr. Nam can explain whether this option is appropriate for your smile.
- A denture or partialBEST FORSEVERAL MISSING TEETH
- Dentures and partial dentures can replace several missing teeth and help restore everyday oral function and appearance.

Questions about restorative dentistry
Have questions about repairing a tooth? We are happy to talk before you book.
Dr. Nam looks at the size and location of the damage, the strength of the remaining tooth and what shows on your X-ray. A tooth-colored filling and a dental crown protect teeth in different ways, so the recommendation is based on what will give that tooth the most reliable support.
Your comfort is important during restorative treatment. Local anesthetic may be used when needed, and our team will explain what to expect before treatment begins. Let us know if you have concerns about sensitivity or dental anxiety so we can discuss ways to help you feel more comfortable.
A filling or crown can last for many years, but its lifespan varies based on the restoration, the tooth’s location, your bite and your oral hygiene habits. Regular preventive care helps us monitor restorations and identify concerns before they become more significant.
Yes. Dr. Nam will assess whether there is enough healthy tooth and bone support for a restoration to hold up over time. When saving the tooth is not a predictable option, he will explain whether tooth extractions and a replacement plan are the better next step.
Contact Broadview Dental as soon as possible and avoid chewing on that side until we can assess the tooth. If you can find the broken piece, bring it with you. Learn more about emergency dental care.
It is worth discussing, even if the tooth does not show when you smile. A back tooth helps with chewing, and a gap can affect the teeth and bite around it over time. Dr. Nam can discuss whether a dental bridge or another replacement option makes sense for you.
