A cracked tooth that makes eating painful, an untreated cavity that has been left for months, or a gap where a tooth used to be can affect your confidence, your comfort, and the health of your entire mouth. Dental damage is more common than most people realize, and the right care can fully restore both the look and function of your teeth.
At Dr. Peter Hazim’s practice, patients from Frisco and the surrounding North Texas communities have access to restorative dentistry care from a team with deep experience in bringing damaged smiles back to life. Dr. Hazim is a general dentist and board-certified prosthodontist in Frisco who has been practicing in the area since 1999, earning recognition as “Best Dentist in Dallas” by D Magazine from 2017 to 2022. His training includes Damascus University, the University of Paris (René Descartes), and a prosthodontic certification at Loyola VA Hospital in Chicago.
How Do You Know If You Need Restorative Dentistry?
Many patients are not sure whether what they are experiencing warrants a dental visit. As a general rule, any change in how your mouth looks or feels is worth getting evaluated. Some of the most common signs that restorative care may be needed include tooth pain or sensitivity, visible cracks or chips, darkening or discoloration on a tooth, difficulty chewing, a loose tooth, or a noticeable gap from a missing tooth.
It is also worth noting that some issues do not cause obvious pain in the early stages. Regular visits allow us to catch problems like decay or structural damage before they become more involved. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, nearly 90% of adults aged 20 to 64 have experienced tooth decay, and about 1 in 4 have untreated decay at any given time. Addressing concerns early is one of the most effective ways to keep treatment simple and preserve as much of the natural tooth as possible.
Restorative Treatments We Offer
We provide a full range of restorative options to meet a variety of patient needs. The following treatments address everything from minor decay to more complex cases involving multiple teeth:
- Composite dental fillings: Tooth-colored fillings that blend naturally with your smile while removing decay and sealing the tooth
- CEREC same-day crowns: Custom crowns designed and placed in a single visit using advanced digital technology
- Dental bridges: Fixed prosthetics that replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent healthy teeth
- Dentures and partials: Removable options for patients who have lost multiple or all of their teeth
- Dental implants: Permanent, root-level tooth replacements that look, feel, and function like natural teeth
- Full mouth reconstruction: A coordinated treatment plan combining multiple procedures to fully restore oral health and function
Every plan we create is built around the individual patient. We evaluate your specific situation, listen to your concerns, and walk you through your options before any work begins.
CEREC Same-Day Crowns: Efficient, High-Quality Restorations
One of the most popular restorative options at our practice is our CEREC same-day crown technology. Traditional crowns often require two appointments and a temporary crown worn in between while the final restoration is made at an outside lab. With CEREC, we can design, mill, and place a permanent, custom-fitted crown in a single visit, which is a meaningful advantage for Frisco patients who need reliable care without unnecessary delays.
The CEREC process uses digital scanning to capture a precise image of your tooth, which is then used to create a crown that fits accurately and looks natural alongside the rest of your smile.
Comprehensive Care from One Trusted Team
Rather than coordinating with multiple providers, patients at our practice can access a full spectrum of restorative care in one location. Our composite dental fillings are a conservative option for treating decay while preserving the natural look of your tooth. For patients with missing teeth, dental implants offer a long-term solution that supports jawbone health and provides a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Patients with more complex histories may benefit from a full mouth reconstruction plan that addresses multiple concerns.
Dr. Hazim works alongside an in-house periodontist and a fellow prosthodontist, enabling us to address conditions involving the teeth, gums, and supporting bone structures. Our team is also multilingual, making it easier for patients from diverse backgrounds to communicate comfortably and feel at ease throughout their care.
