Restore Your Teeth to Beautiful Condition
Restorative dentistry is an approach to managing oral health problems and restoring optimal dental health, function, and aesthetics. It includes the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of conditions affecting the teeth, gums, jaw, and face. Types of restorative dentistry can include implants, aesthetics, and cosmetic dentistry.
If your teeth are decayed, chipped, cracked, discolored, or missing, you may need restorative dentistry treatment such as:
- Fillings
- Crowns
- Bridges
- Veneers
- Dentures
- Implants
- Tooth whitening

Direct and Indirect Restorations
There are two types of dental restorations:
- Direct restorations - Involves placing a filling into a prepared tooth cavity
- Indirect restorations - Involves customized tooth replacements such as crowns, veneers, inlays, bridges, implants, or inlays.
Four different materials are used to restore teeth: gold, porcelain, dental amalgam, and composite resin.
Restorative Dental Procedures
- Crowns - Dental crowns are cemented onto damaged, chipped, or cracked teeth.
- Bridges - Dental bridges are prosthetic devices that are anchored to adjacent teeth to replace one or more missing teeth.
- Aesthetic fillings - Fillings use composites of a hard plastic that fuses to the tooth to hold it together.
- Air abrasion - Abrasion technology uses a fine powder of aluminum oxide under air pressure that blasts out small cavities in teeth without the need for anesthetic or needles.
- Cosmetic dentures - Dentures can replace many missing teeth or completely missing teeth.
- Veneers - Veneers are a layer of composite or porcelain material that is bonded to the surface of one or more chipped, cracked, or uneven teeth.
- Partials - Removable partials are a device of artificial teeth supported on a framework and attached to your natural teeth with retainers.
- Implants - Implants are where a titanium screw is placed in the jawbone and a crown is connected to the implant to replace a missing tooth.
- Inlay - Inlays are a cemented restoration of gold, porcelain, or other ceramic material to restore the surface of a tooth.
- Inlay - Made from gold, porcelain, or another ceramic material, an inlay restores the chewing surface and the sides of posterior teeth.
- Bonding - Composite bonding helps to reshape the front central teeth.
