Why Choose W. Eric Martin, DDS, PC for Restorative Dentistry?
At W. Eric Martin, DDS, PC, we've invested in the tools and technology that make restorative dentistry more precise, more comfortable, and more efficient, for your benefit.
Our in-office CEREC milling technology means you can walk in with a damaged tooth and walk out the same day with a permanent, custom crown. Our digital scanning and imaging capabilities allow us to plan restorations with precision before treatment begins. And our commitment to using high-quality, natural-looking materials means your restorations will blend in seamlessly, not announce themselves every time you open your mouth.
More than the technology, though, it's our approach that sets us apart. We take the time to understand your situation, explain your options clearly, and make sure you feel confident in every decision you make about your care. Restorative treatment can feel overwhelming. We make sure it doesn't have to be.

Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dentistry
What is the difference between restorative and cosmetic dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing teeth to restore function and health — treating decay, infection, fractures, and tooth loss. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a smile. In practice, the two often overlap: at W. Eric Martin, DDS, PC, we design every restoration to look just as good as it functions, so you don't have to choose between a healthy smile and a beautiful one.
How do I know which restorative treatment is right for me?
The right treatment depends on the nature and extent of the damage, the health of your surrounding teeth and gums, and your personal goals. The best way to find out is to schedule a consultation — we'll assess everything thoroughly and give you a clear, honest recommendation with no pressure to commit to anything on the spot.
Is restorative dental treatment painful?
Most restorative procedures are performed under local anesthetic, so you won't feel pain during treatment. Some mild soreness or sensitivity afterward is normal and typically resolves within a few days. For patients with dental anxiety, we also offer sedation dentistry options to make any procedure more comfortable.
How long do restorations last?
Longevity varies by treatment and how well you care for your restoration. CEREC crowns and bridges typically last 10 to 15 years or more with proper care. Dentures generally last 5 to 10 years before needing replacement or adjustment. Root canal-treated teeth, when properly restored with a crown, can last a lifetime. We'll give you realistic expectations for your specific restoration before treatment begins.
Does dental insurance cover restorative treatments?
Most dental insurance plans cover restorative procedures to some degree — including crowns, bridges, dentures, and root canal therapy — though coverage amounts and annual maximums vary by plan. Our team will verify your benefits before your appointment and walk you through any out-of-pocket costs. CareCredit financing is also available for patients who need flexible payment options.
What happens if I delay restorative treatment?
Dental problems rarely improve on their own. Decay spreads. Infections worsen. Missing teeth cause the surrounding teeth to shift and trigger bone loss in the jaw. What starts as a straightforward restoration can become a much more complex — and costly — problem if left untreated. We always recommend addressing dental issues as soon as possible to preserve the most tooth structure and keep treatment as simple as it can be.
Can you do multiple restorative treatments at once?
In many cases, yes. Depending on your oral health and the treatments needed, we can often address multiple issues in the same appointment or sequence treatments efficiently to minimize your time in the chair. We'll work with you to build a treatment plan that's as streamlined as possible.
I've been avoiding dental care for a long time. Is it too late?
It's never too late — and you won't be judged for how long it's been. Our team at W. Eric Martin, DDS, PC has helped patients at every stage of their dental health journey, including those who haven't seen a dentist in years. What matters is that you're here now. We'll start from where you are and work with you toward a healthier, more functional smile — one step at a time.
