All forms of restorative dentistry under one roof

Restorative dentistry repairs teeth that have been damaged, decayed, or lost — and rebuilds them so they work and look the way they should. At Suncoast that means the full range: crowns to cover damaged teeth, bridges to replace missing ones, root canals to save teeth with infected pulp, and same-day 3D-printed restorations made in our on-site SprintRay digital lab.

The on-site lab is the differentiator. Most practices send crown impressions to an outside lab and ask you to come back in 2 to 3 weeks for cementation, with a temporary in between. At Suncoast we can design and print many crowns the same day — including posterior crowns — so you leave with your permanent restoration in a single visit. Dr. Byron Larsen is a SprintRay key opinion leader, which means the practice runs the technology at a level usually reserved for academic settings.

For patients with anxiety about restorative work, or complex full-mouth cases that would normally require many visits, we offer IV moderate sedation and on-site general anesthesia — Suncoast is the only practice in the area with a GA permit. We can complete entire treatment plans in a single visit when that's the right call for the patient.

Restorative dentistry — frequently asked

Common questions when researching restorative work.

Restorative dentistry focuses on function — repairing damaged teeth, replacing missing ones, treating infections. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on appearance — color, shape, alignment. Many cases involve both; for example, a crown on a front tooth is restorative (rebuilds the structure) and cosmetic (matches the appearance of the natural smile). We coordinate restorative and cosmetic planning together.
Modern 3D-printed crowns from a SprintRay lab are clinically comparable to traditional lab-fabricated crowns for most cases. Materials have improved significantly, and the precision of the digital workflow often matches or exceeds traditional impressions and lab work. For complex aesthetic cases on front teeth, we may still recommend traditional lab work — we'll tell you which is best for your case.
Most restorative procedures are covered at least partially by private dental insurance and by the Canadian Dental Care Plan, including crowns, bridges, and root canals. Specific coverage depends on your plan and CDCP tier. We predetermine benefits before treatment so you know what your portion will be. More on CDCP coverage.
Yes. IV moderate sedation is available for anxious patients or longer cases. On-site general anesthesia is also available — Suncoast is the only practice in the area with a GA permit, which lets us complete full restorative plans in a single visit if that's the right call.
Crowns and bridges typically last 10 to 15 years with proper care. Root canal treated teeth usually last a lifetime when properly restored with a crown afterward. Lifespan depends on bite forces, oral hygiene, and whether you grind or clench. We can fit a night guard at the same time as restorative work if grinding is a concern.
