What Is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is the area of dentistry that deals with repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth. There are many different restorative dentistry options.
Some of them are about removing the impacted tooth, such as through a tooth extraction, while others are about strengthening the tooth, such as a dental crown. Then, there are options to replace missing teeth, such as dental implants or dentures.
At Smart Dental Care, we provide a wide range of restorative dentistry treatments, including dental implants. Every patient is unique, so we work with you to determine the right treatment plan, taking into consideration factors such as:
- Your Budget
- Your Comfort
- Your Cosmetic Goals
- Your Dental History
- And More
No matter what restorative dentistry service you receive, we want you to feel comfortable and respected at our office. Drs. Nguyen and Ashton, along with the dental staff, are supportive and care about your experience.

Our restorative dentistry services include the following:
1
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that fit over an existing tooth or on top of a dental implant post. Dental crowns are a common treatment as they can restore cracked or chipped teeth, along with teeth that have significant decay.
The dental crown is matched to the shade of your existing teeth so that it will blend right into your smile. With a dental crown, your tooth will be stronger and healthier.
2
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a restorative dentistry treatment that replaces a missing tooth or teeth. This treatment is sought after by many patients because dental implants last so long. While other tooth restorations usually last 10–15 years, dental implants often last a lifetime.
The dental implant consists of two main parts: the implant post and the tooth restoration. The implant post is made of titanium and fuses into your jawbone. After the post heals, a replacement tooth, such as a dental crown, bridge, or denture, attaches on top.
With dental implants, we can replace one or multiple missing teeth. Dental implants are a strong, fully functional way to address a missing or broken tooth. They also look and act like your natural teeth, as the implant post functions like a tooth root.

Dentures
Dentures are the best option if you have multiple missing teeth. If you have issues with most or all of your teeth, a denture can restore your smile. There are a few different options for dentures. You can have one that replaces just one arch of your teeth, such as the bottom or the top. Or, you can have a denture that replaces an entire mouth of teeth.
Dentures today are much more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before. So, while you may have heard they aren’t a good option, they do provide strength and improve the aesthetic appearance of your teeth. Our dentist will determine which kind of denture would be best for your situation. We want you to feel good about your smile!

Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is an option when you have one or more missing teeth in a row. The dental bridge is attached either to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the missing teeth. In essence, this oral appliance “bridges” the gap in your smile.
The dental bridge is also customized to fit your mouth and match your existing teeth. For patients with a few missing teeth, dental bridges are a good alternative to dental implants, as they are generally more affordable. However, dental bridges don’t last as long as dental implants.
5
Tooth Extractions
While we do what we can to save your tooth, sometimes a tooth extraction is the best option to restore your smile. After removing the cracked, broken, or chipped tooth, we can place a new tooth registration, such as a dental crown, bridge, or implant.
After removing the tooth, a replacement tooth is essential. Otherwise, your teeth could shift, or you could lose density in your jaw bone. So, unless the tooth removal is due to overcrowding or wisdom teeth removal, it’s best to get a replacement tooth.

Benefits of Restorative Dentistry
Benefits of Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry can save your smile and improve your quality of life. Some of the many benefits of receiving this type of dental care include:
Relieves Pain
Problems with your teeth, such as cavities, cracks, and chips, are often painful. You may notice discomfort and pain while eating, drinking, or biting. Restorative dentistry removes decay and restores issues like cracks and chips so you won’t have to go throughout your day with dental pain.
If you or a loved one is experiencing tooth pain, give our office a call right away—we can help!
Improves Aesthetics
A missing, damaged, or otherwise broken tooth impacts the look of your smile. A missing tooth is an obvious cosmetic concern, but large chips and cracks are sometimes noticeable to other people, and they can get worse if left untreated.
With a tooth replacement or crown, you’ll love the look of your smile again, which can improve your self-confidence and give you a boost of self-esteem.
Prevents Further Dental Issues
Without treatment, damaged or missing teeth can cause further tooth decay, gum disease, and even loss of bone density. So, receiving restorative dentistry care is vital if you want to protect your teeth and deter further concerns.
Addressing missing and broken teeth early on can prevent more painful, expensive procedures down the line.
At Smart Dental Care, Drs. Nguyen and Ashton offer quality restorative dentistry services. We utilize state-of-the-art dental technology to make the process as seamless and comfortable for you as possible.
We can help individuals and families in the area and create a welcoming, compassionate environment where kids, teens, and adults feel valued—like part of the family.
