Book An AppointmentRestorative dentistry, also referred to as mouth reconstruction or a smile makeover, refers to the integrated management of oral health problems. It includes dental crowns, caps, and veneers used to restore functionality and aesthetics. The ultimate goal of restorative dentistry is to replace missing teeth while preserving the natural teeth as much as possible.
Dental restoration is made up of a bunch of different dental services unique to your dental situation and smile goals.
Our dental team starts by running a bunch of tests to determine any and all dental issues that need to be fixed.
Based on your test results, we’ll recommend a custom dental plan that includes all necessary dental treatments that will help you reach your smile goals.
We will then schedule you in for the necessary dental treatments. This step could take as little as a few weeks or up to a few months depending on the type and number of treatments needed.
Our dentists will provide you with all the information you need to recover safely and take care of your new smile!

Book NowRestorative dentistry is important because it improves your overall dental health by reducing the risk of oral health problems such as gum disease and cavities.
For example, replacing missing teeth is important because gaps are vulnerable to plaque-causing bacteria which can cause cavities and tooth decay. Additionally, missing teeth will put unnatural stress on your remaining teeth. Eventually, this can shift their natural alignment and potentially cause a collapsed bite and loss of vertical dimension. Overall, dental restoration restores your teeth to their natural, healthy state.
1. Conservation of tooth structure: We believe that one of the most crucial aspects of good dentistry is the conservation of your natural tooth structure. Restorative dental procedures allow us to treat the tooth in question by removing only the decay and undermined tooth structure, while maintaining the integrity of your remaining natural tooth.
Now that you have a wonderfully restored mouth and a smile you’re proud of, it’s time to maintain it! Here are some tips on keeping your dental restoration work looking great for years to come:
Following the tips above is the best way to care for your new smile.
Yes, most dental restoration services are covered by insurance, but it can be very dependent on your individual insurance plan. Ask your benefits provider for details, and ask our team for assistance. We have extensive experience coordinating dental benefits and are here to help!
We offer a variety of sedative options for patients with anxiety, such as benzodiazepines or nitrous oxide (laughing gas). We do not provide general anesthesia (being “put under”) as an option but can provide referrals if this is necessary for your unique case.
