Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are a third set of molars that often erupt in late teen or early adult years. Some people are lucky enough to have plenty of room for these teeth, but for most of us, wisdom teeth must be extracted to avoid shifting of other permanent teeth or infection from an improperly erupted tooth. Our team can perform wisdom teeth removal at any of our Cornerstone Family Dentistry locations.

Restorations for Dental Implants
Start-to-Finish Dental Implants
The best way to replace one or a few missing teeth is with dental implants. Not only do they match the look of natural teeth, but they also fit and function like them, too! Unlike some other dental offices, we are able to complete the entire dental implant procedure in-house. That means that instead of having to make an extra trip to find an oral surgeon, you can come to us for both the implant placement and the natural-looking restoration on top.
When providing dental implants, we use cone beam technology to get a 3D scan of your complete facial structure. Compared to traditional imaging, cone beam images give us a more detailed view of your teeth, jaws, and bite alignment so that we can more precisely plan the treatment. Not only that, but cone beam scanning also exposes patients to less radiation. We’re excited to use this state-of-the-art technology to improve your patient experience.
Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dental Care
What is restorative dental care?
Restorative dental care focuses on repairing and replacing damaged or missing teeth to restore both function and appearance. Whether you need a simple filling, a dental crown, or a complete set of dentures, restorative treatments help you chew comfortably, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. At Cornerstone Family Dentistry, we offer a full range of restorative services, including tooth-colored fillings, dental bridges, extractions, wisdom teeth removal, root canals, and implant restorations.
How do I know if I need restorative treatment?
If you are experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, difficulty chewing, visible decay, or missing teeth, it may be time to see your dentist for an evaluation. During your exam, we will assess your oral health and recommend the best course of action. Common signs that you may benefit from restorative dental care include cracked or broken teeth, persistent toothaches, loose or failing dental work, or gaps where teeth are missing. Early intervention often leads to simpler and more affordable treatment.
Does restorative dentistry hurt?
Most restorative procedures are performed with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Treatments like fillings, crowns, and extractions are routine and typically well-tolerated. For more complex procedures such as root canals or wisdom teeth removal, our dentist will discuss all available options to keep you comfortable and relaxed. We prioritize gentle care and open communication, so you always know what to expect.
How long do restorative treatments last?
The lifespan of restorative dental care treatments varies depending on the type of restoration and how well you maintain your oral health. Tooth-colored fillings and crowns can last many years with proper care, while dentures and bridges may need adjustments or replacement over time. Dental implant restorations are known for their durability and can last decades with good oral hygiene and regular checkups. Your dentist will provide personalized guidance on caring for your restoration to help it last as long as possible.
