If you’re missing teeth, recovering from a dental injury, or struggling with a chronic dental condition, restorative care might be the best option for you and your smile. Dr. Sullivan provides a number of life-changing treatments that will have you eating your favorite foods and smiling with confidence again in no time!
If we can save your natural tooth, we will – every single time. Sometimes, however, conditions in your mouth, ranging from infection to advanced tooth decay, make a tooth extraction the best option for your oral health. If this is the case, we will make sure your time with us is as comfortable and pleasant as possible.
Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a great alternative to traditional silver (amalgam) fillings. Because composite fillings resemble the color of your natural tooth, most people will never notice them!
Missing teeth can take the joy out of the everyday things you love, from eating your favorite foods to laughing and smiling with confidence. Dental implants are the preferred method of permanently replacing missing teeth, and they’re also one of the most effective ways to stabilize loose or ill-fitting dentures.
Root canal therapy is a highly successful restorative treatment for teeth that are infected or likely to become infected. Although root canal therapy has a reputation for being painful, the toothaches associated with an infected root are probably causing you more pain than the treatment will. Our Westwood dentist also provides nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to keep you comfortable throughout your visit.

According to the American Academy of Periodontology, approximately three out of four Americans suffer from some form of gum disease – from mild cases of gingivitis, to the more severe form known as periodontitis. If your gums feel tender, look red and swollen, or bleed every time you floss, you could be at risk for gum disease. Untreated gum disease has been linked to other serious health problems, so it’s important to keep up with your dental checkups and cleanings.
Gum disease used to require surgery, and while surgery is still sometimes the best option, we can now treat many cases with less invasive techniques, including local antibiotics, deep cleanings, and medicated rinses.
If you have any degree of gum disease, we want to help. Ask Dr. Sullivan about Arestin, an antibiotic powder that can stop the infection right where it starts. After your deep cleaning, Dr. Sullivan simply applies the antibiotic to the small space between your tooth and gum tissue. The procedure is comfortable and has been proven to fight infection for up to 21 days.

Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a colorless blend of oxygen and nitrous oxide gases with a pleasant smell. Inhaling nitrous oxide creates a sense of well-being and relaxation, which can help individuals who experience anxiety or fear about dental treatment feel more at ease. It is also helpful for patients who have a strong gag reflex that interferes with dental treatments.
