A cavity, a cracked tooth or a missing tooth can change how you eat, speak and smile. At Laser Dentistry of North Jersey, Dr. Richard Bucher and our team repair and replace teeth with natural-looking results, using gentle laser techniques and same-day technology to keep every visit comfortable and efficient.
Dental problems rarely stay small. An untreated cavity can reach the nerve, a cracked tooth can split further, and the gap left by a missing tooth lets neighboring teeth drift while the jawbone beneath it slowly shrinks. Restoring damaged or missing teeth early protects the healthy tooth structure you still have, keeps your bite balanced and usually means simpler, more affordable treatment. Every restoration we place is planned around your comfort and designed to blend in with your natural smile.
You may be wondering whether these services are right for you. Restorative dentistry repairs and replaces teeth affected by decay, damage or loss.
We help patients who are dealing with:
Cavities or tooth decay.
Cracked or broken teeth.
One or more missing teeth.
Worn or weakened teeth.
Loose or uncomfortable dentures.
We offer several options to fix different issues. You might need a minor adjustment or a complete overhaul. We possess the tools and skills to help, no matter the need.
Dental implants are the closest thing to a natural tooth. A titanium post bonds with your jawbone and supports a custom crown, restoring full chewing strength while helping preserve your bone and facial structure. Implants can replace a single tooth or provide a secure base for implant-supported dentures. We also welcome implant patients from nearby Wayne and Ringwood.
Today’s dentures look more natural and fit more comfortably than ever. We offer full dentures when all the teeth in an arch are missing, partial dentures that fill gaps between your remaining natural teeth, and implant-supported dentures that stay firmly in place while you eat and speak.
A dental bridge closes the gap left by one or more missing teeth by anchoring a lifelike replacement tooth to the teeth on either side. Made from porcelain, alloys, gold or a combination, each bridge is matched to the color, shape and size of your natural teeth to restore a balanced bite.
A crown covers and protects a tooth that is cracked, badly decayed or worn down. With CEREC technology, which our office has used since 2005, many patients receive a custom ceramic crown in a single visit, with no temporary crown and no second appointment. Learn more about CEREC one-day crowns.
When a cavity forms, we use laser-assisted decay removal to clear away damaged tissue while preserving as much healthy tooth as possible. Tooth-colored composite and custom ceramic fillings restore strength and blend in with your natural smile.
Restorative care works best as a partnership. We take the time to explain what we see, walk you through your options and build a plan that fits your health, goals and budget. Laser dentistry, digital imaging and same-day CEREC restorations help us deliver precise results with less drilling, fewer appointments and a more comfortable experience. Once your smile is restored, regular dental exams and cleanings help protect it for years to come. Have questions about coverage? Visit our payments and insurance page.
