What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged teeth, restoring oral function, and improving both your dental health and overall well-being. Our treatments are designed to help you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Can restorative dentistry improve the esthetic appearance of my smile?
Yes, restorative dentistry not only focuses on restoring the health and function of your teeth, but also considers the esthetics of your smile. Although the primary goal of restorative treatments is to address issues affecting your oral health and restore function, such as decay or damage, the results are designed to look natural and enhance your smile’s appearance.
For example, a dental crown is typically recommended to restore a tooth’s strength and function when damaged. However, crowns can also improve the shape, size, and color of the tooth, creating a natural and beautiful result visible in your smile. Similarly, orthodontic treatments like clear aligners straighten teeth for a more attractive smile while reducing the risk of bite issues that could lead to jaw pain or broken teeth. Restorative dentistry treatments are created to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring both functional and esthetic benefits.
