We provide the following restorative dentistry services at our Sparks, NV dental office:
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are used to repair damaged and broken teeth that are still otherwise healthy. The crown fits over the original tooth to provide protection and stability. Dr. Kanellis might use a dental bridge to fill the gap created by a single missing tooth, or the dental crown procedure can also be used for chipped tooth repair.
We fabricate our own same-day dental crowns in-house using the Glidewell IO system. We use the following durable, tooth-colored materials:
- All Ceramic
- Zirconia
- BruxZir®
Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings
Instead of the old style of unattractive metal fillings, Dr. Kanellis color-matches his state-of-the-art dental filling material to blend perfectly with your teeth. No one will be able to tell that you have had a cavity or white fillings. Even better, since we are an amalgam-free dental office, you'll be treated using only the safest possible materials.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding allows us to beautify and fortify parts of the tooth that are missing. We use only expertly shade-matched, tooth-colored materials (similar to white fillings) to cover chips or gaps in the teeth. For many, this procedure is so comfortable that numbing or adjusting the tooth isn’t even necessary.
Dental Bridges
The most common and least expensive way to replace a missing tooth is with a dental bridge. A dental bridge connects the teeth directly adjacent to the missing tooth with a fused “bridge” called a pontic, which is a false tooth. At Kanellis Family Dentistry, we offer traditional bridges, as well as those that are permanently fixed to the mouth using dental implants.
Dental Implants
Because of his extensive implant dentistry training and experience, Dr. Kanellis can replace lost or missing teeth with state-of-the-art dental implants that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. An implant consists of a titanium post (“root”) permanently anchored to your jawbone. He then places a solid dental crown called a restoration just below the gumline to complete the dental implant procedure and re-establish your natural look.
We offer the following dental implant systems:
- Single Dental Implants
- All-on-4®
- Implant-Retained Overdentures
- Hybrid Dental Implants
Removable Dentures
Whether you need all your teeth replaced or just a few, dentures and partial dentures offer cost-effective, aesthetically pleasing methods of filling the gaps created by missing teeth. Whether you are missing some of your teeth or all of your teeth, we'll custom-craft a dentures solution that seamlessly fits you!
Chemotherapeutic Rinse
Patients undergoing chemotherapy may experience side effects like mouth sores, oral infections, bleeding gums, dry mouth, and more. If you’re looking for relief for any of these issues, Dr. Kanellis will work with you to determine if a chemotherapeutic rinse could benefit you.

Frequently Asked Questions
You may benefit from restorative dentistry if you have a damaged, decayed, broken, or missing tooth. Symptoms such as tooth pain, sensitivity, difficulty chewing, or visible damage may indicate that a tooth needs attention. Dr. Kanellis can evaluate your oral health and recommend the appropriate treatment based on your needs.
Kanellis Family Dentistry offers a variety of restorative treatments, including tooth-colored fillings, dental bonding, crowns, bridges, dental implants, and removable dentures. Treatment is customized based on the condition of your teeth, your oral health, and your goals for restoring your smile.
A dental filling is typically used to repair a tooth affected by a cavity or a smaller area of damage. A dental crown covers the visible portion of a tooth and may be recommended when a tooth has more extensive damage or needs additional protection and strength. Dr. Kanellis can determine which restoration is appropriate for your tooth.
Yes. Missing teeth can be replaced with several types of restorations, including dental bridges, dental implants, implant-retained dentures, and traditional removable dentures. Your options will depend on how many teeth are missing, the condition of your remaining teeth and jaw, and your individual preferences.
Yes. Kanellis Family Dentistry offers tooth-colored dental fillings that are shade-matched to your natural teeth. These composite restorations can repair cavities while providing a more discreet appearance than traditional metal-colored fillings.
Dental bonding can be used to repair certain minor chips and improve the shape or appearance of a damaged tooth. Tooth-colored composite material is carefully applied and shaped to complement your natural smile. Whether bonding is appropriate depends on the location and extent of the damage.
Same-day dental crowns are custom crowns that can be designed and fabricated in the dental office rather than being sent to an outside laboratory. Kanellis Family Dentistry uses Glidewell IO technology and in-office digital capabilities to streamline the crown process and allow many patients to receive their restoration during a single visit.
Yes. Partial or full removable dentures can replace multiple missing teeth and restore the appearance and function of your smile. Dr. Kanellis can evaluate your oral health and discuss whether traditional dentures, partial dentures, or an implant-supported option is appropriate for you.
Both dental implants and bridges can replace missing teeth, but they work differently. A traditional bridge uses neighboring teeth for support, while a dental implant is anchored in the jawbone and can support an individual crown or other restoration. Your dentist can explain the benefits and considerations of each option based on your oral health and treatment goals.
Yes. Many restorative treatments are designed to restore both dental function and appearance. Tooth-colored fillings, bonding, crowns, bridges, and dental implants can be customized to complement your natural teeth and create a more cohesive smile.
Yes. Patients with multiple dental concerns may benefit from a comprehensive restorative treatment plan. Dr. Kanellis can evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health to determine which combination of treatments can best address your individual needs.
If you're looking for restorative dentistry near Sparks or Reno, NV, the first step is scheduling an appointment with Kanellis Family Dentistry for a comprehensive evaluation.
