Restorative Dentistry in St. Clair Shores, MI

Restorative Dental Services We Offer

We handle everything from a small filling to a full smile rebuild, all under one roof.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Our composite fillings replace noticeable metal fillings, matched to your natural tooth shade so they blend right in, instead of standing out every time you smile. They fix the cavity while keeping as much of your healthy tooth as possible, and they hold up well to everyday chewing.

Dental Crowns

When a tooth is beyond what a filling can repair, a custom crown covers the entire tooth and brings back its strength, shape, and function. We make sure it fits your bite properly and blends naturally with the rest of your smile.

Dental Bridges

Missing one or more teeth in a row? A bridge fills that gap by anchoring to the healthy teeth on either side, giving you a secure, natural-looking result.

Root Canal Therapy

When decay or infection reaches deep inside a tooth, a root canal clears out the problem and saves the tooth from extraction. It’s genuinely more comfortable than most people expect, and it’s usually the best way to save your natural tooth instead of losing it.

Full & Partial Dentures

If you’re missing several teeth or all of them, custom dentures and partials give you back a comfortable, natural-looking smile, and most patients adjust to eating and talking with them within a few weeks.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For patients who want more stability than traditional dentures offer, implant-supported dentures anchor to dental implants instead of resting on your gums. That means less movement, stronger chewing power, and more confidence in daily life.

Dental Inlays & Onlays

When a cavity or damage is too extensive for a filling but doesn’t quite need a full crown, inlays and onlays fall between those two options. They’re custom-made to fit the exact shape of your tooth, preserving more of your natural structure than a crown would.

Dental Implant Restorations

Missing a tooth down to the root? A dental implant replaces it entirely, from the root up, giving you a result that looks, feels, and functions like a real tooth. With the right care, implants are built to last for decades.

How We Approach Restorative Care

Every mouth is different, so we don’t give every patient the same treatment plan. When you come in for a restorative visit, Dr. Rajurs starts by getting a complete picture of the problem, checking the damaged tooth itself along with your bite, gums, and any surrounding teeth that might be affected, with digital X-rays to help us see what’s happening below the surface.

Once we know what we’re dealing with, we walk you through your options in plain language, not dental jargon, explaining what each treatment involves, how long it takes, and what kind of results you can expect. Before any treatment begins, you’ll know exactly what it costs, with no surprises on the bill and no pressure to move forward with anything you’re not ready for.

Throughout the visit, we use modern techniques and equipment to keep procedures as quick and comfortable as possible, checking in with you along the way so you’re never left wondering what’s happening next.

Signs You Might Need Restorative Care

Not sure if that nagging issue actually needs attention? Here’s when it’s time to come in:

• A toothache that won’t quit, especially around hot or cold foods
• A crack, chip, or hole you can see in a tooth
• An old filling or crown that feels loose, cracked, or worn down
• Pain when you chew or bite down
• A missing tooth that’s affecting how you eat or talk
• Swollen or tender gums around one specific tooth

If any of this sounds familiar, don’t wait for it to get worse. Small restorative fixes now are almost always easier, faster, and less expensive than the bigger repairs that come from putting it off.

Why Choose Dr. Rajurs, DMD, for Restorative Dental Care in St. Clair Shores, MI

Our lead dentist, Dr. Monica Rajurs, DMD, has built a 4.9-star reputation in St. Clair Shores through years of hands-on restorative work. Her two-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at the University of Detroit Mercy, where she served as Chief Resident, gave her advanced training in crown, bridge, and implant procedures beyond what general dental school covers.

She is also a member of the American Dental Association and Michigan Dental Association. She keeps up with developments in dentistry and modern materials so treatment can reflect current techniques and available restorative options. Many of her patients have stayed with her for years, which means she’s often the one monitoring how your mouth has changed over time, not starting over each time a new issue comes up.

Restorative work can get expensive quickly, and we don’t want cost to be the reason you put off treatment you need. We work with major insurance providers, including Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, Guardian, UnitedHealthcare, and Humana, and our team will help you make the most of your coverage.

If you’re without insurance, our in-house Dental Savings Plan offers reduced rates on restorative and cosmetic work for your whole family. We also partner with CareCredit for financing, and either way, you’ll get exact, upfront pricing before any treatment starts.
