Meet our Bayonne dentists: Dr. Jordan M. Alter, DDS and Dr. Mina Salib, DMD.
Understand your options
Start with what can be preserved
Your dentist examines the teeth, gums, bite, and existing restorations before recommending care. The aim is to explain which teeth can be maintained, what needs attention, and the tradeoffs between available options. Pain or swelling should be discussed promptly.
Repair a damaged tooth
A filling, bonding, or crown may restore a tooth depending on the damage. If the inner pulp is inflamed or infected, root canal treatment may be considered before the final restoration.
Replace missing teeth
Compare dental implants, bridges, and dentures. Bone support, neighboring teeth, health history, maintenance, and budget all affect the decision.
Coordinate more complex care
If several teeth or the bite need repair, full mouth reconstruction can organize treatment in stages. Some plans involve bone grafting, periodontal care, or specialist referral.

Answers before your visit
Restorative Dentistry FAQs
What does restorative dentistry include?
It includes treatment to repair or replace teeth, such as fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, and implant restorations. Your exam determines which options are suitable.
Can a broken tooth always be saved?
Not always. The amount and location of damage, infection, and supporting tissues affect whether a tooth can be restored.
How do I choose between a bridge and an implant?
Your dentist compares bone support, neighboring teeth, health considerations, treatment time, and maintenance. Neither option is right for every patient.
Can treatment be done over several visits?
Many plans involve stages. Ask which needs are urgent, what can be scheduled later, and how temporary restorations will be managed.
What if I am worried about discomfort?
Tell the team before treatment. Discuss anesthesia, pacing, and whether sedation is appropriate for your health and procedure.
Do restorations need ongoing care?
Yes. Natural teeth around restorations and the tissues supporting them still need cleaning and monitoring. Follow the care plan for your particular restoration.
