Restorative

Restorative dentistry focuses on diagnosing, treating, and restoring teeth that have been damaged, decayed, or lost. The goal of restorative dental work is to help patients regain the health, function, and aesthetics of their teeth. This branch of dentistry includes a wide range of services designed to restore the form and function of teeth, from fillings and crowns to more advanced treatments like implants and full-mouth reconstruction.

​

Dental Fillings:

Dental fillings are used to restore teeth that have been damaged by cavities (decay). The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the cavity is filled with a restorative material. Fillings can be made from various materials.

​

Crowns:

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are typically used when a tooth has suffered significant decay, a large filling, or a fracture. They can be made from materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, offering durability and a natural appearance.

​

Inlays and Onlays:

Inlays and onlays are custom restorations used to treat teeth that have moderate decay or damage but still have enough healthy tooth structure remaining. These are often an alternative to traditional fillings or crowns. Inlays fit within the cusps (top edges) of the tooth, while onlays cover the cusps as well.

​

Veneers:

Dental veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that are placed over the front surfaces of teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are ideal for treating issues such as discolored, chipped, or misaligned teeth. Though they are primarily aesthetic, they can also serve as restorative tools for minor tooth damage.
