Restorative dentistry encompasses treatments repairing or replacing damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. At Maison Dental Studio, Dr. Murray and Dr. Mullen provide comprehensive restorative services using advanced materials and techniques creating durable, natural-looking results. From simple fillings to complex full-mouth rehabilitation, we have the skills and technology restoring both function and aesthetics.
Our restorative philosophy emphasizes conservative treatment—preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible while providing repairs lasting for years. We use high-quality materials matching your natural teeth in color and translucency, ensuring restorations blend seamlessly with your smile.
Every restorative case begins with comprehensive examination and diagnosis. We use digital imaging showing you exactly what needs attention and why, explaining treatment options clearly so you can make informed decisions. Our goal is not just fixing problems but creating lasting solutions supporting your long-term oral health.
Dental crowns, or “caps,” cover entire visible portions of damaged teeth, protecting them from further harm while restoring their appearance and function. Crowns become necessary when teeth are too damaged by decay or trauma for fillings to provide adequate repair, after root canal therapy to protect weakened teeth, to cover dental implants, or to improve severely discolored or misshapen teeth.
The crown process typically requires two appointments. During the first visit, we prepare the tooth by removing damaged portions and shaping it to accommodate the crown. We take detailed impressions or digital scans of your prepared tooth and surrounding teeth, place a temporary crown protecting the tooth while your permanent crown is fabricated, and select the shade matching your natural teeth.
At your second appointment, we remove the temporary crown, check the fit and appearance of your permanent crown, make any necessary adjustments, and cement the crown permanently in place. Modern dental crowns look and function like natural teeth, and with proper care they last 10-15 years or longer.
We offer various crown materials including porcelain fused to metal (strong and relatively natural-looking), all-porcelain or all-ceramic (most natural appearance, ideal for front teeth), gold alloys (extremely durable, best for back teeth), and zirconia (combines strength and aesthetics). We’ll recommend the best material based on the tooth’s location, your bite forces, and aesthetic concerns.

Crowns cover entire visible tooth portions, used when damage is extensive or after root canal therapy. Fillings repair smaller areas of decay or damage. Crowns provide more comprehensive protection and structural support, while fillings are more conservative, preserving more natural tooth structure. We recommend crowns only when fillings won’t provide adequate long-term repair.
Well-maintained dental crowns typically last 10-15 years or longer. Longevity depends on the crown material, location in your mouth, bite forces, oral hygiene habits, and whether you grind teeth. Regular dental visits, good home care, and avoiding habits like chewing ice or opening packages with teeth help crowns last longer.
Options include dental implants (most permanent and natural-feeling), fixed bridges (anchored to adjacent teeth), partial dentures (removable), and complete dentures (for multiple missing teeth). The best option depends on how many teeth are missing, your jawbone health, budget, and personal preferences. We’ll discuss all options and recommend the solution best fitting your situation.
We’re establishing relationships with laboratories for same-day crown capabilities. Currently, most crowns require two appointments with temporary crowns placed during fabrication. However, our efficient process minimizes time between appointments, and temporary crowns function well protecting teeth while permanent restorations are created.
