Fix Your Smile Problems With Restorative Dental Care
No matter what kind of dental damage you’ve suffered, Dr. Victoria Shook can generally repair it with a restorative dental treatment. Here are some common problems that our team can fix:
- Cracked Teeth – We can help you stabilize and protect a cracked tooth from further damage with dental veneers or a dental crown.
- Broken Teeth – Getting a broken tooth sealed is imperative if you hope to save it from a tooth extraction. Dr. Shook will place a beautiful dental crown to seal out bacteria and keep your tooth safe. This also lets you continue to use that tooth without pain.
- Decayed Teeth – Cavities are common, but that doesn’t make them any less serious. We’ll make sure the decay is cleared from the tooth and that the tooth is repaired with a natural-looking dental filling that will perfectly match your smile.
- Infected Teeth – If decay turns into an infection and is not removed, you can lose a tooth. Dr. Shook can perform a root canal to thoroughly clean out the infection and keep your tooth intact.
You also have multiple options for replacing missing teeth, including dental implants, dental bridges, and dentures.
If you’re tired of missing out on favorite foods, our restorative dentistry services in San Pedro can help. Call 310-982-6333 today to make an appointment.

You probably wouldn’t imagine that you’d ever find yourself going to the dentist and leaving in a considerably better mood than when you walked in. Dr Shook and her team are a rare breed of professionalism and excellent “vibes,” for lack of a more scientifically or medically correct term. Solution-oriented advice, quality teeth cleaning services, and most of all, a genuine friendly attitude that feels like everyone there actually cares about your health. Wish I had found them years ago.
