Restorative Dentistry in Murphy, TX
When your teeth are damaged, missing, or weakened, it can impact more than just your appearance—it can affect your health, comfort, and confidence. At Murphy Crossing Dental Care, our restorative dentistry services are designed to rebuild and revitalize your smile. Whether you need a single repair or a full-mouth transformation, our skilled team uses advanced technology and a gentle approach to deliver results that are strong, beautiful, and built to last.
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Anchored directly into the jawbone, implants restore full function and a natural look—while also preserving bone health. Topped with a custom crown, each implant feels just like your real tooth.
A root canal can save an infected or severely decayed tooth and eliminate pain. We gently remove damaged tissue, disinfect the area, and seal the tooth to prevent future issues. At Murphy Crossing Dental Care, root canals are efficient, effective, and more comfortable than ever.
Dental bridges are a proven way to fill in the gaps left by missing teeth. Anchored to neighboring teeth or crowns, bridges restore your bite, prevent shifting, and improve the overall appearance of your smile.
When a tooth is beyond repair, a gentle extraction may be the best step forward. Our experienced team ensures a smooth, comfortable process and will guide you through your options for replacement to maintain your smile’s integrity.
If you’re dealing with multiple damaged or missing teeth, full mouth reconstruction can give you a brand-new start. We create a customized plan using a combination of crowns, implants, dentures, and bridges to restore your entire smile’s function and aesthetics.
Dental crowns protect and strengthen teeth that are cracked, weakened, or heavily restored. Custom-crafted to match your surrounding teeth, our crowns are durable, natural-looking, and designed for comfort and longevity.
Short on time? With CEREC technology, we can design, create, and place your custom ceramic crown in just one visit—no temporary crown or return appointment needed. Fast, precise, and made to last.
When a filling isn’t quite enough—but a crown would be too much—custom inlays and onlays offer the perfect in-between. These durable restorations are ideal for repairing moderate decay or damage while preserving healthy tooth structure and providing long-lasting strength.

Answers to Your Dental Questions
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth to restore full function, health, and appearance to your smile.
Are root canals painful?
Not with modern techniques. Most patients say it feels similar to getting a filling. We ensure you’re numb and comfortable throughout the procedure.
How long do dental crowns last?
With good care, dental crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. Regular checkups and good oral hygiene will help extend their lifespan.
What’s the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A crown covers and restores a single damaged tooth. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth and is anchored by crowns on adjacent teeth.
How long does a dental implant take?
The full process—from implant placement to crown placement—typically takes a few months, allowing time for healing and integration with the jawbone.
What are CEREC crowns?
CEREC crowns are custom ceramic crowns created in our office using 3D technology, allowing you to receive your final restoration in just one visit.
When do I need a tooth extraction?
An extraction is recommended when a tooth is too damaged to repair or poses a risk to your oral health—such as in cases of severe decay or infection.
Are dentures comfortable?
Yes! Today’s dentures are lighter, better fitting, and more natural-looking than ever. We ensure a customized fit for long-term comfort and stability.
What is full mouth reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is a personalized treatment plan that combines multiple restorative procedures to rebuild a healthy, functional, and attractive smile.
Are inlays and onlays better than fillings or crowns?
Inlays and onlays are ideal when a filling isn’t strong enough and a crown would remove too much tooth. They offer a durable, conservative solution that fits precisely and blends naturally with your smile.
