People with missing teeth, there’s a range of options there, so anything from bridges, implants, dentures, to help function, which is hugely important when it comes to diet. What we’ll say to patients is, “You’d like to be able to eat what you want or what you can.” There’s a big difference. It’s important primarily for long-term, for diet. Patients need any range of dental care. A lot of different options are available in this day and age. And we take a lot of time going through those with patients to make sure they understand all the options and which one might be best for their individual case.

Feel Confident About Your Dental Health & Function
Visiting us for restorative dentistry means you benefit from our state-of-the-art techniques and technology. More than that, you also will experience a high level of clinical care from your dental team. Whether you have damaged a tooth, are struggling with an infection, or have faced tooth loss, you’ve come to the right place.
Your dentist will begin by identifying the root cause of the problem. Using digital X-rays, digital scanners, and intraoral cameras, we’ll capture information about your smile to make precise treatment recommendations.
- Tooth Fillings – Your dentist will repair cavities or tooth damage with composite fillings. They will remove the decayed portion and prepare the area before placing the filling material.
- Dental Crowns – A dental crown can repair more serious damage or larger decay. Your dentist will place a crown made of high-quality materials that look and function similar to natural teeth.
- Dental Bridge – Tooth loss can happen because of an injury or a serious infection. If you have a missing tooth, a bridge can complete your smile again. Your dentist can anchor it to natural teeth or to implants.
- Dentures – This option is ideal if you have widespread tooth loss in your upper or lower jaw. We also have partial dentures available if you have some healthy teeth remaining. Your dentist might suggest that you secure your dentures to implants.
- Root Canals – This treatment sounds scary, but it’s a way for you to avoid an extraction. While we refer many complex cases to a specialist, your dentist can perform many in-house, saving you time and effort.
Needing restorative procedures can seem stressful. However, our dental team makes sure you feel at ease. You are welcome to take breaks while we repair and restore your smile. Plus, sedation is available if you need help feeling calm and still. We have several options available. Your dentist will review which is right for your needs.
Call 907-268-2756 for an appointment with your restorative dentist in Anchorage. You can also request an appointment online.

I have had a hard time visiting dentists for most of my life, this Father and son team make it easy and get rid of most of your fears. The key is communication and a great chair side manner. I have lots of problems with my teeth and have required a lot of work, with a magic sedition pill and some excellent skill these guys have taken care of the most immediate problems. Thanks to them I have no more pain in my teeth and my teeth are looking better and better.

I had a filling and it was virtually painless. They have this fancy tool that holds your mouth open so you can rest your jaw, which helps a lot. I was late and they were very forgiving. Dr. Ersland does a great job of answering questions and keeping you informed. I also told them I get migraines, so they did my entire cleaning by hand rather than use the drill. The office is incredibly accommodating, thank you!!

Common Questions About Restorative Dentistry
What does restorative dentistry include?
When you have a tooth that suffers damage from decay, infection, injury, or another type of trauma, restorative dentistry can repair it to save the tooth from further damage or extraction. Restorative treatment includes any service designed to relieve pain and help you regain oral function, like tooth fillings, root canals, crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants.
What are the benefits of restorative dentistry?
A healthy mouth is so much more than clean teeth and gums. Throughout your lifetime, you may need some type of restorative dental care to treat issues that cause pain or discomfort, interfere with your oral function, or threaten your oral health. Restorative dentistry services address problems like cavities, tooth infection, dental injuries, and tooth loss to keep your teeth functional and your mouth healthy.
Why get restorative dentistry?
Missing or damaged teeth can negatively impact the appearance of your smile and your overall dental health. It can make you more susceptible to dental problems such as decay and infection. Plus, repairing your teeth can improve your bite and allow you to eat without discomfort, giving you greater comfort and enjoyment in your daily life.
