Restorative Dentistry in Napa Valley
At Alora Dentistry & Implant Center in Napa, we are dedicated to providing cutting-edge restorative dentistry options to help patients reclaim their smiles. The health and appearance of your smile rely on a full set of teeth. While your natural teeth are designed to last a lifetime, many people encounter tooth loss. Missing teeth can impact not only the health of your mouth but also your overall confidence.
Tooth loss is a common issue, with about 69% of adults aged 35 to 44 having lost at least one permanent tooth, according to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS). Whether tooth loss occurred due to trauma, decay, or poor oral hygiene, our Napa Valley dental office offers a wide range of solutions to restore both function and aesthetics to your smile.
Led by Dr. Devan Dalla, a highly credentialed dentist with over a decade of experience and a passion for patient care, our team ensures that each patient receives top-tier treatment. Dr. Dalla, a graduate of New York University – College of Dentistry, has received honors in implantology and continues to stay at the forefront of dental advancements through ongoing education. He believes in providing treatments based on thorough diagnosis and personalized care.
Complete Dental Restorations
When it comes to replacing missing teeth, we understand the importance of providing dental restorations that look natural, feel comfortable and function strongly.

Whether you have a single missing tooth or need a full mouth reconstruction, our Napa Valley practice offers a full menu of solutions to restore your smile:
The Importance of Restorative Dentistry
A full set of teeth is essential for more than just a beautiful smile. Missing teeth can cause:
- Difficulty chewing and speaking
- Shifting of adjacent teeth, leading to misalignment
- Bone loss in the jaw (a condition called alveolar bone atrophy)
- Increased risk of further tooth loss and oral health problems
Replacing missing teeth not only restores your smile but also preserves the structure and health of your mouth. Our Napa dental office offers comprehensive restorative dental care, focusing on long-lasting, natural-looking solutions tailored to each patient’s needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Restorative dentistry focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the function and aesthetics of your teeth. This can include anything from dental implants and crowns to full-mouth reconstructions.
-
Dental implants are widely regarded as the most reliable and long-lasting tooth replacement option. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are secured in the jawbone, helping prevent bone loss and providing a stable foundation for artificial teeth. Research from the Journal of Oral Implantology reports that dental implants have a long-term success rate of over 90%.
-
The All-on-4 procedure is ideal for patients who have lost a full arch of teeth and want a more secure solution than traditional dentures. Because the treatment requires minimal jawbone density, many patients who would otherwise need bone grafting may qualify. To determine if you’re a candidate, our team will perform a comprehensive assessment, including 3D imaging.
-
The process of getting dental implants typically involves several steps, including the initial consultation, implant placement, and a healing period. The full process can take between 3 to 6 months, depending on individual healing times.
-
Recovery times vary depending on the type of procedure performed. Dental implants, for example, generally require a few months for the implant to fully integrate with the jawbone. However, procedures like crowns and dentures may require less downtime. Our team will provide detailed recovery instructions tailored to your specific treatment.
-
Caring for dental restorations is similar to maintaining natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits are essential for ensuring the longevity of your restorations. We will provide personalized care instructions based on the type of restoration you receive.
