The essentials
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry repairs teeth affected by decay, cracks, wear, infection, or injury and replaces teeth that are missing.
Options range from tooth-colored fillings and crowns to bridges, dentures, and dental implants. Treatment can improve chewing, speech, comfort, and appearance while protecting the remaining teeth.
