When a tooth is damaged, decayed, or missing, it affects more than your smile. It can make eating uncomfortable, change how you speak, and over time, affect the health of your surrounding teeth and jaw. At EOM Dental Center in Sequim, Washington, Dr. Churchill offers a full range of restorative treatments designed to bring your mouth back to full health, function, and confidence.
Dental Crowns
A crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Dr. Churchill uses high-quality ceramic crowns, including zirconia and e.max options, that blend naturally with your surrounding teeth. Crowns are a common solution after a root canal, for a tooth with significant decay, or for a cracked tooth that needs protection.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that fills the gap left by a missing tooth. It is anchored to the healthy teeth on either side of the space and looks and functions like a natural tooth. Bridges help prevent neighboring teeth from shifting and restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably.

Dentures and Partial Dentures
For patients who have lost several or all of their teeth, dentures and partial dentures offer a reliable way to restore your smile and quality of life. We take the time to ensure your denture fits well, looks natural, and feels comfortable so you can go about your day with confidence.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Dr. Churchill places and restores Nobel implants right here at EOM Dental Center, giving you a complete, seamless experience without needing a separate specialist. An implant functions exactly like a natural tooth root, supporting a crown above the gumline for a result that looks, feels, and performs like the real thing. Implants also help preserve the jawbone over time, which dentures and bridges cannot do.

Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy has a reputation for being scary, but in Dr. Churchill's hands, most patients find it no more uncomfortable than a standard filling. When the inner tissue of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, a root canal removes the affected tissue, cleans the canal, and seals the tooth to prevent further infection. It is often the best way to save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental crowns last?
With good home care and regular checkups, a ceramic crown can last 15 years or more. The longevity depends on how well the tooth is maintained and how much stress is placed on it.
Is a dental implant painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during placement. Most patients report mild soreness for a few days afterward, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The full process typically takes several months. After the implant is placed, it needs time to integrate with the bone before the final crown is attached. Dr. Churchill will give you a clear timeline at your consultation.
Can I get a root canal if my tooth hurts a lot?
Yes, and in many cases a root canal will relieve the pain you are experiencing. The treatment removes the infected tissue that is causing the discomfort, and most patients feel significantly better within a day or two after the procedure.
Does insurance cover restorative dental work?
Many PPO plans include partial coverage for restorative procedures like crowns and root canals. We will help you understand your benefits before treatment begins. We also offer financing options to make care accessible.
