Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth to restore both function and appearance. If you’ve experienced tooth loss, injury, or decay, Dr. Ravi Shah and the team at Ocean Shore Dentistry will use advanced tools and thoughtful techniques to help you chew comfortably, speak clearly, and smile with confidence again.
Implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. Dr. Shah uses 3D cone beam imaging and guided surgical planning to precisely place a titanium post in the jaw to act as an artificial root, then tops it with a natural-looking crown. Implants look, feel, and function like your real teeth — and they help preserve jawbone health over time.
Dentures are removable appliances that replace several or all missing teeth. Whether full or partial, today’s dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever. Dr. Shah uses digital scanning and 3D printing to create dentures with a secure fit and natural appearance for security, comfort, and confidence.
A crown is a tooth-shaped cover placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, and strength while protecting it from further damage. With same-day crown technology, Dr. Shah can often design, craft, and place your crown in a single visit — without messy impressions or temporary caps.
We prioritize saving your natural teeth whenever possible. However, if a tooth is severely damaged or can’t be saved, we may need to perform an extraction to protect your overall health. Dr. Shah uses minimally invasive techniques and piezoelectric surgical tools to ensure a gentle extraction process. He’ll walk you through your options for replacement once you’ve healed.
Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the neighboring healthy teeth or implants. A bridge is a fixed solution that restores your bite and prevents shifting. We use high-resolution imaging and modern materials to ensure long-lasting results that blend seamlessly into your smile.
When a tooth is infected or deeply decayed, a root canal can relieve pain and save the tooth. Dr. Shah will remove the damaged tissue, disinfect the area, and seal the tooth with a filling or crown, all while keeping you as comfortable as possible.
