Restorative Dentistry in Washington, PA
Damaged or missing teeth affect more than your smile — they change how you eat, speak, and feel every day. At Enhanced Wellness, Dr. Wakim offers the full range of restorative treatments to get your teeth functioning and looking the way they should, with options from a single filling to a complete full-mouth rebuild.
Restoring Teeth That Work and Look Natural
Restorative dentistry covers everything from a simple cavity filling to rebuilding an entire mouth from scratch. The goal is always the same: repair what's damaged, replace what's missing, and make sure the result functions like natural teeth — not just looks like them.
At Enhanced Wellness, Dr. Wakim takes a conservative approach. That means recommending the least invasive treatment that gets the job done properly, and being honest when a bigger investment makes more sense long-term. A tooth that needs a crown today but gets a filling will need that crown anyway in two years — plus more work to fix the interim damage.
We use digital impressions, 3D imaging, and in-house milling technology for same-day crowns — so you're not waiting weeks for a temporary fix, and not coming back for a second appointment to get your permanent restoration.
Restorative dentistry may be right for you if you have:
- Cavities or tooth decay
- A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
- A tooth that needs a crown
- Tooth pain or sensitivity
- An infected tooth needing root canal
- One or more missing teeth
- Old metal fillings you want replaced
- Multiple failing or damaged teeth

Dental Fillings
Tooth-colored composite fillings to repair cavities and minor decay. We also replace old metal amalgam fillings that are failing, cracked, or causing sensitivity. Usually a single appointment.
See Dental Fillings →Dental Crowns
Custom caps to restore a cracked, weakened, or heavily decayed tooth. We offer both traditional lab-fabricated crowns and same-day in-house crowns using CEREC technology — permanent crown in a single visit.
See Dental Crowns →Same-Day Crowns
No temporary crown, no second appointment, no waiting two weeks. Dr. Wakim designs, mills, and places your permanent ceramic crown in a single visit using in-office CEREC technology.
See Same-Day Crowns →Inlays & Onlays
The in-between option — bigger than a filling, smaller than a full crown. Custom-crafted porcelain restorations for teeth with moderate decay or damage that don't need a full cap. More conservative and longer-lasting than a large filling.
See Inlays & Onlays →Root Canal
When decay or damage reaches the nerve of a tooth, a root canal removes the infected pulp and seals the tooth — saving it from extraction. Modern root canals are far more comfortable than their reputation suggests.
See Root Canal →Root Canal Retreatment
When a previous root canal fails or becomes re-infected, retreatment cleans and reseals the tooth to give it another chance. Often the best option before moving to extraction and implant.
See Retreatment →Dental Bridges
A fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants. Prevents neighboring teeth from shifting and restores chewing function without a removable appliance.
See Dental Bridges →Dentures
Full and partial dentures for patients missing multiple or all teeth in an arch. Modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever — and implant-supported options eliminate the slipping and adhesive problem entirely.
See Dentures →Dental Implants
The gold standard for tooth replacement — a titanium root fused to your jawbone that supports a permanent crown, bridge, or full arch. Prevents bone loss, lasts a lifetime, and functions like a natural tooth.
See Dental Implants →Full-Mouth Reconstruction
For patients with extensive dental problems — severe wear, multiple missing or failing teeth, bite collapse, jaw pain. A coordinated treatment plan that addresses everything systematically to restore full oral function and health.
See Full-Mouth Reconstruction →All-on-4 & All-on-X
Full arch replacement using 4–6 implants to support a complete fixed set of teeth. Walk in with failing or missing teeth, walk out with a permanent smile — often the same day.
See All-on-4 →One Thing That Sets Us Apart: Same-Day Crowns
Most dental offices still send crown impressions to an outside lab, fit you with a temporary, and book you back two weeks later. We don't do that.
Permanent Crown in a Single Visit
Using CEREC in-office milling technology, Dr. Wakim takes a digital scan, designs your crown on-screen, mills it from a solid ceramic block, and places it — all in one appointment. No temporaries. No second visit. No waiting. The result is a strong, natural-looking permanent crown that's done the same day you come in.
