Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and restoring the function, structure, and aesthetics of teeth that have been damaged or lost due to various factors such as decay, trauma, or wear. Restorative dentistry aims to recreate the natural appearance and function of the teeth, improving both oral health and the patient’s quality of life. Restorative dentistry plays a vital role in preserving oral health, restoring smiles, and enabling individuals to eat, speak, and chew comfortably.
Same day crowns are a type of dental restoration that can be fabricated and placed in a single dental appointment. Same day crowns are made using advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques, such as CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing), which allows the dentist to design and mill the crown in-office using a special milling machine.
Restorative dental implants are a type of dental restoration used to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are small titanium screws that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a replacement for the roots of missing teeth. Once the implant has been placed and has fully healed, a crown or other type of dental restoration, such as a bridge or denture, can be attached to the implant to replace the missing tooth.
