Restorative Dentistry in Knoxville, TN

Fix Damage. Restore Comfort. Love Your Smile Again.

Cavities, chips, cracks, and worn or missing teeth can make eating uncomfortable and smiling stressful. Restorative dentistry repairs damage, rebuilds function, and helps you feel confident again—often in just one or two visits.

What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing teeth and replacing missing ones so you can chew comfortably, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. Dr. Cribbs uses durable, natural-looking materials designed to blend with your smile.

Common Problems We Treat

• Cavities or worn fillings
Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
Sensitive or painful teeth when biting
Missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures
Old metal fillings you’d like replaced with tooth-colored materials

Tooth-Colored Fillings 

When decay is small to moderate, bonded white fillings are a conservative, attractive solution.
Benefits:
Blends with your natural tooth shade
Preserves healthy tooth structure
Strong, quick, and comfortable

Inlays & Onlays (Porcelain or Ceramic)

For larger areas of damage that don’t need a full crown, inlays and onlays provide extra strength and a precise fit.
Great for:
• Replacing big, old fillings
• Strengthening chewing surfaces
• Matching natural tooth color and shine

Dental Crowns 

A crown covers the entire visible part of a tooth to restore shape, strength, and appearance.
Ideal when:
• A tooth is cracked or badly worn
• After a root canal
• A large filling won’t hold long term
Learn more on our Dental Crowns page.

Bridges: Replace a Missing Tooth

A dental bridge uses neighboring teeth to hold a lifelike replacement tooth in place.
Why patients choose bridges:
Fixed (not removable)
Looks natural and restores chewing
Can prevent teeth from shifting
See our Dental Bridges page.

Dental Implants: The Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement

Implants replace the root of a missing tooth and support a crown, bridge, or denture for a stable, 
long-lasting result.
Advantages:
• Looks and feels like a natural tooth
• Protects bone where the tooth was lost
• Lets you chew confidently
Explore options on our Dental Implants page.

Dentures & Implant-Supported Dentures

Today’s dentures are lighter, more comfortable, and more natural-looking than ever. Implant-supported designs “snap” into place for extra stability.
Options:
Partial dentures for several missing teeth
Full dentures for a complete arch
Implant-retained dentures for superior hold

Root Canal Therapy (Comfort-Focused)

When decay or a crack reaches the nerve, root canal therapy can save your tooth and relieve pain. We prioritize comfort and partner with trusted endodontic specialists when needed.

Bite Guards (Nightguards)

Clenching and grinding can crack teeth and wear down restorations. A custom nightguard protects your smile while you sleep.
