Repair, rebuild, restore
Whether you are dealing with a single damaged tooth or years of unaddressed dental concerns, The Dental Boutique has the experience and the tools to bring your smile back to full function and full strength.
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and rebuilding teeth that have been damaged, decayed, or lost. At The Dental Boutique, Dr. Franco offers a full range of restorative treatments, from simple fillings to full-mouth reconstructions, all performed in-house. Every restorative case begins with a thorough exam and a clear, written treatment plan so you know exactly what is recommended and what it will cost before anything begins.
The benefits of restorative dentistry
Damaged or missing teeth affect more than just the way your smile looks. Restoring your teeth to full function protects your long-term oral health, improves your ability to eat and speak comfortably, and prevents the kind of cascading problems that develop when dental concerns go unaddressed.
Protect your remaining teeth
When a tooth is damaged or missing, neighboring teeth can shift, wear unevenly, or take on stress they were not designed to handle. Restorative treatment addresses the problem at its source and protects the teeth around it.
Restore function and comfort
Cracked, decayed, or missing teeth can make eating, speaking, and everyday life more difficult than it needs to be. Restorative care brings your bite back into balance and gives you the ability to use your teeth the way they were meant to be used.
Prevent more complex treatment later
Addressing dental problems early is almost always simpler and less costly than treating them after they have had time to progress. A filling today is far less involved than a crown or extraction tomorrow.
Our restorative dentistry treatments
Dental fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are used to treat cavities and repair minor tooth damage while preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. We match our fillings to the shade of your existing teeth for a result that looks and feels completely natural. Dr. Franco takes the time to explain why a filling is recommended and what to expect during and after the procedure before any work begins.
Dental crowns
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. The Dental Boutique offers a range of crown materials — including porcelain and white zirconia — selected based on the location of the tooth, your bite, and the result you are looking for. The goal is always a restoration that functions well and looks completely natural. Dr. Franco will walk you through which material is the right fit for your specific case before any work is scheduled.
Dental bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges restore the appearance and function of your smile without the need for surgery, and are custom-designed to match the shape and shade of your natural teeth. Dr. Franco will walk you through whether a bridge or an implant is the better long-term solution for your specific situation.
Full and partial dentures
For patients who are missing multiple teeth or a full arch, dentures offer a removable solution that restores both appearance and function. The Dental Boutique offers both full dentures, for patients who have lost all teeth in an arch, and partial dentures, which fill in gaps while anchoring to remaining natural teeth. Dr. Franco takes the time to ensure your dentures are well-fitted and that you feel confident wearing them before you leave the office.
Full-mouth reconstruction
For patients with extensive dental needs across multiple teeth or both arches, full-mouth reconstruction brings together restorative and surgical care under one roof. Dr. Franco plans every full-mouth case thoroughly, mapping out a phased treatment approach that addresses the most pressing concerns first and builds toward a fully restored, functional smile. This is one of the most impactful things dentistry can do for a patient, and it is one of the most productive and meaningful services Dr. Franco provides.
Frenectomies
A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that releases a tight or restrictive frenum — the small band of tissue connecting the lip or tongue to the gum. Restricted frenum tissue can affect speech, oral development, and gum health. At The Dental Boutique, frenectomies are performed with precision and minimal discomfort, often using laser technology for a faster, more comfortable recovery.
Pulpotomies
A pulpotomy involves the removal of infected or inflamed pulp tissue from the inner chamber of a tooth in order to relieve pain and preserve the tooth. It is most commonly performed on primary teeth in younger patients as an alternative to extraction. Dr. Franco takes a conservative approach to treatment and will always discuss your options clearly before recommending any procedure.
Dental implants
A dental implant is the most natural-feeling way to replace a missing tooth, restoring both the root and the crown for a result that looks, functions, and feels like your own tooth. At The Dental Boutique, Dr. Franco handles every phase of implant treatment in-house, from surgical placement and bone grafting through final restoration. For patients who are missing one or more teeth and want a long-lasting solution that does not compromise the surrounding teeth, implants are worth a conversation.

The restorative dentistry process
Comprehensive exam and treatment planning
Every restorative case at The Dental Boutique starts with a thorough exam and a full set of digital x-rays. Dr. Franco reviews your imaging before entering the room and uses that information to build a clear picture of what needs to be addressed. He walks you through his findings in plain language, explains what he recommends and why, and organizes treatment into phases so nothing feels overwhelming.
Treatment presentation and financial review
Before any restorative work is scheduled, our treatment coordinator will sit down with you to review costs, insurance coverage, and financing options. Treatment plans are broken down clearly so you understand exactly what each phase involves and what it will cost. The Dental Boutique works with CareCredit, Cherry, Alphaeon Credit, and Lending Club, and offers an in-house membership plan for patients without insurance.
Restorative treatment with Dr. Franco
Dr. Franco performs every restorative procedure personally, from a single filling to a complex full-mouth case. He takes the time to make sure you are comfortable, explains each step as he goes, and does not rush the work. For more involved cases, treatment is organized into phased appointments designed to make progress efficiently while keeping the experience manageable.
Follow-up and long-term care
Once your restorative treatment is complete, Dr. Franco will walk you through how to care for your new restorations and what to expect going forward. Regular preventive visits are the best way to protect the investment you have made in your smile and to catch anything new before it requires more significant treatment.
