Stops Progression
Repairing damage early halts decay and fracture before either one reaches the nerve and requires far more involved treatment.

Restorative Dentistry in West Hollywood, CA
What happens when a tooth is damaged past the point that prevention can help? At West Hollywood Dental Studio, our team repairs decayed, cracked, and worn teeth so they look and function normally again. Restorative dentistry in West Hollywood, CA, keeps small problems from turning into large ones.
Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry covers the treatments that repair teeth damaged by decay, fracture, or wear, and that rebuild structure which has already been lost. Our dentist matches the restoration to the extent of the damage, placing a filling when a small area is affected and full coverage when more of the tooth is gone.
The Benefits
The Benefits of Restorative Dentistry
Restored Function
A properly shaped restoration returns comfortable chewing on the side of your mouth that you have been quietly avoiding.
Natural Appearance
Tooth-colored composite and ceramic materials blend with the enamel around them rather than standing out when you smile.
Preserved Structure
Conservative technique removes only the damaged portion and leaves as much of your healthy tooth in place as possible.
Restorative Dentistry Treatments
Our restorative services cover the everyday repairs that keep a damaged tooth working, from a single-visit filling to full coverage and root canal therapy.
Dental Fillings
Composite and amalgam fillings remove decay and rebuild the tooth in a single visit, usually in about 30 to 45 minutes of chair time in our office.
Learn MoreDental Crowns
Custom crowns cover the entire visible tooth and distribute bite pressure, so a cracked, worn, or heavily decayed tooth stops breaking down further.
Learn MoreRoot Canal Treatment
Endodontic therapy removes infected pulp from inside the tooth, relieving the pain and saving a tooth that would otherwise need to be removed entirely.

Damage Caught Early
Our team screens for decay and failing restorations at every exam using digital imaging, which means most problems are found while a small repair is still enough to correct it.
Conservative Treatment Philosophy
We repair rather than replace wherever the tooth allows for it, so you keep as much of your own enamel and natural structure as the situation reasonably permits for that tooth.
Materials Matched Per Tooth
Composite, amalgam, porcelain, and ceramic are each used where they perform best, so the restoration is chosen to suit the tooth rather than the other way around each time.

What Our Patients Say
- ★★★★★
Thank you to Weho Dental studio and Dr Rivas for helping me get over my fear of going to the dentist. Felt immediately at home with her and her lovely staff. From the front desk to the hygienist, I really felt like they genuinely cared about my dental health, rather than some of the other offices I’ve been to that immediately tried to push tons of treatments. Dr Rivas and her staff took care of me, happy to call this my dental home. Thank you for making fillings and a crown a pleasant experience!
- ★★★★★
Dr. Rivas was awesome! Staff are great and friendly. I was surprised that my filling took less than an hour and I did not feel any inch of pain. The procedure was so smooth and appreciate that Dr. Lisa walked me through to every step. Highly recommended!

I reached out to Dr. Rivas regarding the extraction of my number 16 wisdom tooth. My previous dentist referred me to an oral surgeon who wanted to extract the other three wisdom teeth even though I am not experiencing any issues and during that time I never had any consultative discussions with the surgeon. I connected with Dr. Rivas and she was thorough and transparent when speaking over the phone and she shared that she would be able to extract my tooth. During the procedure, she was extremely caring, asked if I was numbed properly, and checked in with me frequently during the procedure. I did not feel a thing and I was shocked on how fast she was able to successfully extract my tooth. I highly recommend Dr. Rivas and her staff and I commend them for their professionalism and caring nature. I live in the Inland Empire and will be driving to West Hollywood since Dr. Rivas will be my dentist moving forward.
