Mathew Dental Group offers restorative dentistry in Smithtown, NY, for patients with damaged, painful, worn, or missing teeth. A weakened or missing tooth can make chewing difficult, affect your bite, cause nearby teeth to shift, and lead to jawbone loss over time.
Dr. Bilu Mathew and Dr. Julie Mathew help restore comfort, function, and stability through precise treatment options, including fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, root canal treatment, and full-mouth reconstruction.
Preserving your natural tooth is always the priority. When that is not possible, our team explains your replacement options clearly so you understand your choices before treatment begins.
What Is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry diagnoses and treats damaged, decayed, weakened, or missing teeth. It includes treatments that repair tooth structure, protect weak teeth, or replace missing teeth. Restorative treatments may include composite fillings, crowns, bridges, dental implants, dentures, root canal treatment, extractions, and full mouth reconstruction.
At Mathew Dental Group, each treatment plan begins with a complete exam and digital X-rays. Dr. Mathew reviews your results, explains what is causing the problem, and discusses your options before any treatment begins.

- Pain or sensitivity when chewing
- A tooth that needs protection after root canal therapy

Our Restorative Dentistry Services
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings repair teeth damaged by decay. The tooth-colored resin bonds directly to the tooth and helps prevent bacteria from re-entering the treated area.
At Mathew Dental Group, composite fillings are matched to the shade of your natural teeth and require less removal of healthy tooth structure than older silver amalgam fillings.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom cap that covers and protects a damaged tooth. Crowns are used for cracked teeth, fractured teeth, root-canal-treated teeth, and teeth with significant decay or structural loss.
Dental crowns at Mathew Dental Group are fabricated from high-quality porcelain and zirconia, selected for strength, durability, and a natural appearance.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the natural teeth on each side of the gap, restoring chewing function and preventing nearby teeth from shifting.
Since bridges are fixed restorations, they stay in place and function like natural teeth during daily use.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth, using a titanium post placed into the jawbone to support a custom crown that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Implants also help preserve jawbone health by providing stimulation to the bone after tooth loss.
Dr. Bilu Mathew completed a two-year fellowship in dental implant placement and advanced prosthetics. His training included sinus grafting, bone augmentation, ridge preservation, and socket preservation. Implant placement and final restoration are both completed at the Smithtown office, without referrals to outside specialists.
Dentures and Partial Dentures
Dentures restore appearance, speech, and chewing ability for patients who are missing several or all teeth.
Mathew Dental Group offers full, partial, and implant-supported dentures and partial dentures, each custom-made from precise impressions to improve fit, comfort, and stability.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment saves a tooth when infection reaches the inner pulp by removing the infected tissue, cleaning the canal, and sealing the tooth to reduce the risk of reinfection.
Dr. Bilu Mathew performs root canal treatment with a focus on precision and comfort. In many cases, a crown is placed after treatment to protect the tooth from fracture.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is too damaged or infected to save, extraction removes it safely and prepares the area for future restoration.
Mathew Dental Group performs simple and surgical tooth extractions, including wisdom tooth removal, and discusses replacement options after extraction to help prevent bone loss and bite changes.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction helps patients with multiple missing teeth, severe wear, extensive decay, or widespread dental damage.
Dr. Bilu Mathew creates a phased plan that may include crowns, implants, bridges, fillings, dentures, or other restorative treatments. Each reconstruction plan is designed around your clinical needs, treatment timeline, and budget, so the process feels manageable from start to finish.
