Full Range of Care
Restorative Dentistry Treatment in Raleigh
Smileplicity Dentistry offers a full range of restorative dentistry treatments in Raleigh to address everything from minor cavities to missing teeth.
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are used to repair teeth affected by decay. After removing the damaged portion of the tooth, a tooth-colored composite filling is placed to restore strength and protect against further decay. Composite fillings are durable, natural-looking, and can usually be completed in a single visit.
Root Canal Therapy
When decay or infection reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, root canal therapy may be necessary to save it. During treatment, the infected tissue is removed, the tooth is cleaned, and the space is sealed to prevent reinfection. Root canal therapy relieves pain and helps preserve your natural tooth instead of requiring extraction.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that cover and protect weakened or damaged teeth. Crowns are often recommended after root canal therapy, for cracked teeth, or for teeth with large fillings. They restore strength, shape, and appearance while allowing you to bite and chew comfortably.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth between neighboring natural teeth or crowns. Bridges help restore proper bite alignment, prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, and improve the look and function of your smile.
Dentures
Dentures are a reliable solution for replacing multiple missing teeth. Whether full or partial, dentures are custom-designed to fit comfortably and look natural. They restore your ability to eat and speak confidently while supporting facial structure.

Common Questions
Still deciding?
Here’s what patients ask us most before their first restorative visit.
Can a cavity be treated without a filling?
Very early, surface-level decay can sometimes be reversed with a professional fluoride treatment before it becomes a cavity that needs a filling. Once decay has broken through the enamel, a filling is typically needed to stop it from spreading. Dr. Atari will tell you exactly where things stand at your exam.
How long does restorative treatment take?
Fillings are usually done in one visit. Root canals and crowns may take one or two visits depending on the tooth. Bridges and dentures typically involve a few visits for fitting and adjustments. We'll walk you through the timeline for your specific treatment.
Do you accept dental insurance for restorative work?
Many plans cover a portion of fillings, crowns, root canals and other restorative treatments. Our team will help verify your benefits before treatment begins. Prefer a membership? Ask about our Smile Forever Plan.
What does restorative dental treatment cost?
It depends on the treatment. A filling generally runs $150 to $400, while a crown runs $800 to $1,700 and a root canal $700 to $1,500. See the cost guide above, or call (919) 251-5946 for a personalized estimate.
