Rebuild your smile’s function, health, and beauty with personalized restorative solutions from Centerville’s most trusted dental team.
Damaged, decayed, or missing teeth affect more than just your appearance—they affect how you eat, how you speak, and how you feel about yourself every single day. At Centerville Dental Center, restorative dentistry is not about patching problems. It is about rebuilding your smile with precision, care, and materials that look and feel completely natural.
Our team of experienced dentists — Dr. Trang Nguyen, Dr. David Huang, and Dr. Ali — has been restoring smiles for patients across Centerville, Oakwood, Springboro, Kettering, and the Greater Dayton area for over 40 years. Whether you need a single tooth-colored filling or a full-mouth reconstruction, we approach every case with the same level of personalized attention and clinical excellence.
Not sure where to start? Every restorative case begins with a comprehensive exam and a clear, honest conversation about your options. There is no pressure, no upselling — just a thorough assessment and a treatment plan built around your goals, your timeline, and your budget.
Many patients put off restorative treatment because they are not sure whether their symptoms are serious enough. Here are the most common signs that it is time to come in.
Sharp pain when biting or lingering sensitivity to hot and cold are often signs of decay, a cracked tooth, or an exposed root that needs prompt attention.
Chips, cracks, dark spots, or visible holes in your teeth are signs that the tooth structure has been compromised and needs to be restored before the damage worsens.
Even a single missing tooth causes the surrounding teeth to shift, affects your bite, and can lead to bone loss in the jaw over time. Replacing it sooner is always better.
Fillings, crowns, and bridges do not last forever. If your existing restorations are cracked, loose, or discolored, it may be time to replace them before they fail completely.
If you are avoiding certain foods or chewing only on one side of your mouth, that is your body telling you something is wrong. Restorative treatment can give you full function back.
Swollen, tender gums or a pimple-like bump on the gum near a tooth can indicate an infection that needs immediate treatment to prevent it from spreading.
From a simple filling to a complete smile reconstruction, every treatment at Centerville Dental Center is performed with the same standard of care — precise, personalized, and built to last.
A dental crown is a custom-crafted cap that fits over a damaged, weakened, or severely decayed tooth to restore its full shape, strength, and appearance. We use all-porcelain and zirconia crowns that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a prosthetic tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges restore your bite, prevent shifting, and give you back a complete, natural-looking smile.
We use composite resin fillings that are matched precisely to the color of your natural tooth — no dark metal, no visible fillings. Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, requiring less removal of healthy tooth material than traditional amalgam.
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. A titanium post is placed in the jawbone where it fuses with the bone over time, creating a permanent, stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture that looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth.
Modern dentures are nothing like the ones your grandparents wore. Today’s full and partial dentures are custom-crafted for a natural fit, a comfortable feel, and a lifelike appearance. We offer both traditional removable dentures and implant-retained options for maximum stability.
Root canal therapy removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, eliminating pain and saving the tooth from extraction. Modern root canal treatment is far more comfortable than its reputation suggests — most patients report it feels no different from getting a filling.
For patients with extensive dental damage, decay, or tooth loss across multiple teeth, a full-mouth reconstruction combines several restorative treatments into a comprehensive, coordinated plan. The result is a completely rebuilt smile that is healthy, functional, and beautiful — often transforming a patient’s quality of life.
We believe every patient deserves to know exactly what is going to happen before it happens. Here is how a typical restorative case unfolds at Centerville Dental Center.
Your first visit includes a thorough clinical exam, digital X-rays, and a complete assessment of your oral health. We take the time to understand your symptoms, your concerns, and your goals before recommending any treatment. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is recommended unless it is genuinely necessary.
Based on your exam, your doctor will present a clear, prioritized treatment plan with all your options explained — including the pros, cons, and cost of each. We will also review your insurance coverage and financing options so you can make an informed decision without financial surprises.
Every restorative procedure at our practice is performed with your comfort as the top priority. We use modern anesthetic techniques, take breaks when you need them, and never rush through a procedure. Patients who have been anxious about dental work consistently tell us our approach changed their experience entirely.
For restorations like crowns, bridges, and inlays, we verify the fit, bite, and aesthetics before final placement. We will not cement a restoration that does not meet our standard — and yours. You will leave knowing your new restoration feels natural and functions perfectly.
After your treatment, we schedule a follow-up to confirm everything is healing well and functioning as expected. We also provide personalized care instructions and a long-term maintenance plan to protect your investment and keep your restored smile healthy for years to come.
Restorative dentistry is one of the most technically demanding areas of dental care. Here is why patients from across the Greater Dayton area trust Centerville Dental Center with their most complex cases.
Our doctors have treated thousands of restorative cases over four decades. That depth of experience means faster diagnosis, more accurate treatment planning, and better outcomes — especially for complex or multi-tooth cases.
We use only high-quality, biocompatible materials — all-ceramic and zirconia crowns, composite resin fillings, and titanium implants from trusted manufacturers. We never compromise on materials to cut costs.
We understand that restorative procedures can feel daunting. Our team is trained in anxiety management techniques, and we take every step necessary to ensure your appointment is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
We verify your insurance benefits before your appointment and provide a clear cost estimate before any treatment begins. We accept most major PPO plans and offer CareCredit financing for out-of-pocket costs.
You will see the same doctor throughout your restorative treatment — not a rotating roster of associates. That continuity means your doctor knows your history, your preferences, and your goals at every appointment.
Our 1,000+ Google reviews reflect what our patients experience every day — thorough care, genuine attention, and results that exceed expectations. We are proud of that reputation and work every day to maintain it.
We believe cost should never be a barrier to restoring your oral health. We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans — including Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, and United Concordia — and our team verifies your benefits before your appointment so you know exactly what your plan covers.
For out-of-pocket costs, we offer CareCredit financing with promotional 0% interest periods, so you can start treatment now and pay over time at a pace that works for your budget. Applying takes just a few minutes and can be done online or in our office.

Real words from real patients who trusted Centerville Dental Center to restore their smiles.
“I had been putting off getting a crown for two years because I was nervous. Dr. Nguyen made the whole process so easy — I barely felt anything and the crown looks completely natural. I wish I hadn’t waited so long.”
“I needed a bridge after losing a tooth and was worried about the cost. The team walked me through my insurance coverage and set me up with CareCredit for the rest. The bridge looks amazing — you honestly cannot tell it’s not a real tooth.”
“I came in for what I thought was a simple filling and ended up needing a root canal. Dr. Huang was incredibly calm and reassuring throughout. No pain, no drama — just great care. I’ve been coming here ever since.”
The goal of every restorative treatment at Centerville Dental Center is the same: a result that is so natural, so seamlessly integrated with your existing smile, that no one — including you — can tell the difference between what is restored and what was always there.
We achieve this through careful shade matching, precise shaping, and a genuine understanding of dental aesthetics that comes from decades of experience. Whether you are getting a single filling or a full-mouth reconstruction, the standard of care is identical.
Our patients from Centerville, Kettering, Beavercreek, and across the Greater Dayton area consistently tell us that the results exceeded their expectations — and that the experience of getting there was far more comfortable than they anticipated.
Start Your Restoration Call (937) 435-4150The right restoration depends on how much of the tooth structure has been compromised. A filling is appropriate for small to moderate cavities. A crown is needed when more than half the tooth is damaged, cracked, or weakened. The only way to know for certain is a clinical exam with X-rays — we will show you exactly what is happening and explain your options clearly before recommending anything.
Most PPO dental insurance plans cover a portion of restorative treatments. Basic restorations like fillings are typically covered at 70–80% after your deductible. Major restorations like crowns and bridges are usually covered at 50%. Dental implants are less commonly covered but some plans include a benefit. We verify your specific coverage before your appointment and provide a detailed breakdown of what you will owe so there are no surprises.
With proper care, a well-made dental crown typically lasts 10 to 15 years — and many last significantly longer. The longevity of a crown depends on the material used, the quality of the placement, and how well you maintain it. Brushing twice daily, flossing around the crown, and attending regular cleanings are the most important things you can do to extend the life of your restoration. We will give you specific care instructions after placement.
The short answer is no — not with modern techniques and anesthesia. Root canals have a reputation for being painful, but that reputation is based on outdated experiences. Today, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia and most patients report feeling little to no discomfort during treatment. In fact, the pain you feel before a root canal — from the infected tooth — is almost always far worse than the procedure itself. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is.
Both replace missing teeth, but they work very differently. A dental bridge uses the teeth on either side of the gap as anchors — those teeth must be prepared (reduced) to support the bridge. A dental implant replaces the tooth root with a titanium post in the jawbone, leaving adjacent teeth completely untouched. Implants also prevent bone loss in the jaw, which bridges do not. Implants are generally the preferred long-term solution, but bridges are a good option when implants are not feasible. We will discuss both options and help you decide which is right for your specific situation.
It depends on the treatment. A tooth-colored filling typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. A crown usually requires two appointments — a preparation visit (60–90 minutes) and a placement visit (30–45 minutes) about two weeks later. Root canal therapy takes one to two appointments of 60–90 minutes each. Dental implants involve a longer timeline — typically 3 to 6 months from placement to final crown — because the implant needs time to fuse with the jawbone. We will give you a clear timeline for your specific treatment plan at your consultation.
Yes. We offer CareCredit financing, which includes promotional 0% interest periods for qualified applicants. CareCredit allows you to start treatment now and pay over 6, 12, or 24 months at a monthly payment that fits your budget. Applying takes just a few minutes and can be done online or in our office.
