At San Marcos Dental Center, we understand that a healthy smile is more than just aesthetics; it’s essential for speaking, eating, and overall well-being. Whether you’re missing one tooth or need full-mouth rehabilitation, our restorative dental services are designed to bring back your smile’s strength, comfort, and natural appearance.
We proudly welcome patients from San Marcos, Carlsbad, Vista, Escondido, Encinitas, and surrounding communities. No matter your current dental health, we’re here to help you move forward with compassionate, judgment-free care.
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing teeth that are damaged, decayed, or missing. Our goal is to restore your oral health while maintaining your bite alignment, chewing function, and smile appearance.
Common reasons patients seek restorative care include:
We offer a full range of treatment options to suit your needs and goals:
Tooth-colored composite fillings restore teeth affected by small cavities or fractures. We match the shade to blend seamlessly with your natural enamel.
Ideal for teeth with too much damage for a filling but not enough for a crown, inlays and onlays offer a durable, conservative restoration.
Crowns cover and protect teeth that are cracked, decayed, or previously treated with root canals. We offer all-ceramic and porcelain-fused-to-metal options for durability and aesthetics.
Bridges replace one or more missing teeth using adjacent teeth for support. Implant-supported options are also available for longer-lasting results.
Implants are the most natural-looking and durable way to replace missing teeth. We offer single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, and full-arch solutions like All-on-4.
We provide custom full and partial dentures that are functional, comfortable, and lifelike. Options include traditional, implant-supported, and same-day dentures.
For patients with multiple complex concerns, we develop personalized, step-by-step plans to fully restore function and beauty to the entire smile.
Our practice is equipped with the latest tools to make restorative care more precise, comfortable, and efficient:
3D imaging for implant planning and jaw assessments
Fast, low-radiation imaging for accurate diagnosis
Real-time visuals that help you understand treatment needs
Custom inlays, onlays, and crowns with same-day capabilities

In most cases, yes. A crown protects the tooth from future damage after root canal therapy.

A bridge uses neighboring teeth for support, while an implant replaces the tooth root and doesn’t rely on other teeth.
Absolutely. We design our dentures to match your facial structure and preferred esthetics.
With proper care, most crowns last 10 to 15 years, sometimes longer.
We take steps to ensure your comfort at every phase. Sedation is available when needed.
Yes. We’ll help you create a phased plan and offer financing options to make it manageable.
