Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is defined as dental procedures that replace or repair teeth. Examples of our restorative dental procedures include dental implants, root canals, crowns, bridges and cavity fillings. The aim of restorative dentistry is to enhance tooth functionality and appearance. If you are unhappy with your smile, give us a call today at (631) 473-1511 to schedule an appointment.

The primary purpose of restorative dentistry is to restore the function of compromised teeth, empowering patients to talk and eat as they did when younger. Restorative dentistry also reduces pain by addressing the underlying issue or even eliminating an infection. Restorative dentistry also enhances the appearance of teeth, reduces the chances of subsequent dental issues and even bolstering jaw bone density.

As an example, restorative dentistry’s cavity fillings are a common procedure in which decay is removed and the remaining space is filled. The dentist adds composite material that resembles the color of natural teeth to the void in the decayed tooth, renewing the tooth for functionality such as chewing and also ensuring the patient enjoys the aesthetic benefit of a visually uniform smile. Additional examples of restorative dentistry procedures include dental implants to replace damaged or missing teeth, crowns/bridges added to damaged teeth and root canal therapy.
