Let’s Talk About Fixing, Not Hiding Your Smile
You know that feeling when you bite into something and think, “That doesn’t feel right,” or when you look in the mirror and wish your smile looked like it used to? That’s where restorative dentistry steps in. It’s all about repairing damage, replacing what's missing, and helping you feel proud of your smile again.
Whether it’s a chipped tooth, a cavity, or something more involved like a missing tooth, restorative care is here to bring your mouth back to a healthy, strong, and beautiful place.
What Exactly Is Restorative Dentistry?
Think of it like home repair—but for your mouth. Just like fixing a squeaky door or patching up a hole in the wall, your teeth sometimes need a little maintenance too. Restorative dentistry includes treatments like:
Tooth-colored fillings for cavities
Crowns for broken or weakened teeth
Bridges or implants to replace missing teeth
Bonding or inlays to restore structure
And yes—even full-mouth reconstructions when needed
But here’s the good part: with Dr. Monica Crooks, D.D.S., you won’t just get functional fixes—you’ll get beautiful, natural-looking results that feel like your real teeth.
“Do I Really Need This?”
If you’ve been avoiding certain foods, hiding your smile in photos, or just feeling like your teeth aren’t what they used to be, restorative care might be your next best step. It’s not just about fixing pain—it’s about restoring confidence.
And no, it’s not just for major issues. Even a small crack or worn-down tooth can affect how you chew, speak, or smile. Catching and treating these early can save you time and money down the road.
What Makes Dr. Crooks’ Approach Different?
At Dr. Monica Crooks’ Sacramento dental office, you’re not just a set of teeth—you’re a whole person. Dr. Crooks blends artistic skill with technical precision, customizing each treatment to fit your lifestyle, your look, and your long-term health.

Helpful Tip: Don’t Wait Until It Hurts
A lot of people wait until they’re in pain before seeing a dentist—but small issues can grow fast. If something doesn’t feel quite right, it’s better to catch it early. A minor fix today could prevent a bigger, more expensive treatment later on.
