RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
Bring damaged or missing teeth back to life.
Crowns, bridges, fillings, dentures, and dental implants in Washington Park.
Dr. Kyger has advanced training in crown, bridge, and full-mouth work. He’ll walk you through every option, give you honest pricing, and build a plan around what your teeth actually need. Nothing more, nothing less.
THE BASICS
What restorative dentistry actually is.
Restorative dentistry is the care that repairs or replaces damaged and missing teeth. Fillings for cavities. Crowns for teeth that need strengthening. Bridges, dentures, or dental implant restorations for teeth that are gone. The goal is a smile that looks natural, chews comfortably, and lasts.
Every case is different. Dr. Kyger will take a careful look, explain your options in plain English, and put together a plan you can actually understand before you commit to anything.
WHAT WE OFFER
Restorative services at Wash Park.
A full range of options, whether you need a small repair or a full-mouth plan.
Composite fillings
Tooth-colored fillings that repair decay, cracks, and small fractures. They restore the shape and function of your tooth and blend in so no one can tell.
Dental crowns and bridges
Crowns are custom caps that protect and strengthen a damaged tooth. Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the healthy teeth on either side.
Dental implant restorations
For a permanent replacement, we place a beautifully matched custom crown on top of your implant. We partner with trusted specialists for the surgical placement.
Dentures and partials
Removable options that look natural and fit comfortably, whether you're replacing a few teeth or a full arch. Custom made to your bite.
Extractions
We always try to save a natural tooth first. When that's not possible, Dr. Kyger performs extractions gently and walks you through what comes next.
Wisdom tooth removal
Impacted or crowded wisdom teeth can cause pain and damage neighboring teeth. Dr. Kyger will assess your situation and let you know if removal is the right call.
WHY IT MATTERS
More than looks. It's your daily comfort.
Protects your oral health
Repairing damaged teeth prevents infection, further decay, and the tooth loss that can follow when small problems get ignored.
Restores real function
Missing or damaged teeth make chewing and speaking harder than it needs to be. The right restoration gets you back to eating what you love.
Boosts your confidence
Restorations are built to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. You'll smile without thinking about it.
Built to last
We use quality materials and modern digital scanning for a precise fit, so your restoration lasts as long as it should.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions.
It depends on your specific situation and what you want out of the result. Dr. Kyger will do a thorough exam, walk through your options, and put together a plan tailored to you. You’ll always know what’s on the table before you commit.
Not really, no. Modern techniques and local anesthetic keep the appointment comfortable. If you tend to get anxious at the dentist, ask about sedation. We have options that can help you relax through the whole visit.
It varies by material and how you take care of them. With regular checkups and good home care, crowns and bridges can easily last 10 to 15 years, often much longer. Fillings and implant restorations follow the same rule: the better you care for them, the longer they last.
Most dental insurance plans cover part of restorative work. Our team will pull your benefits, give you a clear estimate before we start, and walk through Cherry financing options if you need to spread out the payments.
The same way you care for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, come in for regular cleanings, and skip habits that stress your teeth (like chewing ice or opening packages with your teeth). If you grind at night, ask us about a night guard.
Yes. If you have an old crown, filling, or bridge that’s worn, discolored, or starting to fail, we can replace it with something modern and long-lasting. Come in and we’ll take a look.
