Restorative Dentistry
Phoenix & North Scottsdale
 At Jerome Riddle DDS, our focus is on restoring the health, strength, and appearance of your smile when damage, decay, or tooth loss occurs. While prevention is always the goal, we understand that life, genetics, and accidents can still impact your teeth. Our restorative dentistry services are designed to rebuild function, protect your oral health, and renew your confidence.
Dental fillings
are a simple and effective way to repair minor to moderate cavities or tooth damage. We use tooth-colored composite resin, which blends seamlessly with your natural enamel. Benefits include:
| • |
Natural Appearance - Matches the shade of your existing tooth.
|
| • |
Strength and Durability - Restores biting and chewing function.
|
| • |
Preserves Healthy Tooth Structure - Only the damaged area is removed. |
Fillings restore both the look and function of your tooth while preventing further decay.
A dental crown
is a custom-made cap that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are ideal for:
| • |
Extensive Decay - When a filling is not enough.
|
| • |
Cracked or Broken Teeth - Prevents further damage.
|
| • |
After Root Canal Treatment - Protects and reinforces the treated tooth.
|
| • |
Cosmetic Enhancement - Improves size, shape, and color. |
Our crowns are made from high-quality materials, including porcelain, for a lifelike appearance.
Dental bridges
replace one or more missing teeth by using the teeth on either side as anchors. A false tooth, known as a pontic, fills the gap. We offer:
| • |
Traditional Bridges - Supported by crowns placed on the teeth next to the gap.
|
| • |
Cantilever Bridges - Supported on only one side when space or structure is limited. |
Bridges restore proper bite alignment, improve chewing ability, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting.
Dentures
are a trusted, removable solution for replacing multiple missing teeth. Our custom-fit designs ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Options include:
| • |
Complete Dentures - Replace a full arch of missing teeth.
|
| • |
Partial Dentures - Fill spaces when some natural teeth remain, secured with discreet clasps. |
Modern dentures are designed to look natural, improve speech, and restore chewing function.
Inlays and onlays
are custom restorations used when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but does not require a full crown.
| • |
Inlays - Fit within the tooth’s biting surface.
|
| • |
Onlays - Extend over one or more cusps for additional coverage. |
These restorations are strong, durable, and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
When decay or damage reaches the soft inner pulp of a tooth, root canal therapy
can save it from extraction. The procedure removes infection, cleans the tooth’s interior, and seals it to prevent future problems. A crown is typically placed afterward to strengthen and protect the tooth.
Sometimes, a tooth cannot be saved and must be removed
to protect your overall oral health. We perform:
| • |
Simple Extractions - For teeth visible above the gumline.
|
| • |
Surgical Extractions - For teeth that are impacted or have broken below the gumline.
|
| • |
Wisdom Tooth Extractions
- To prevent overcrowding, misalignment, or infection. |
Our team uses gentle techniques to keep you comfortable during the process.
A full mouth reconstruction
combines multiple restorative treatments to rebuild your smile when several teeth are damaged or missing. This personalized plan may include crowns, bridges, dentures, and other restorative solutions to improve function, appearance, and oral health.
