Also known as prosthodontics, restorative dentistry refers to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of oral disease. Generally speaking, restorative dentistry includes fillings, veneers, crowns, bridges, full and partial dentures, and implants.

Dr. Bien and the team at Greenhills Dental Care determine which option is the best for you during your consultation.
Dr. Bien can strengthen and protect broken teeth with dental crowns and bonding. These enamel-colored crowns and composite bonding can significantly reduce the visibility of a damaged tooth and effectively repair it for the long term.
Restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry most certainly can work hand in hand, though it will very much depend on the results you want.
During your initial consultation with Dr. Bien, she’ll help you clearly identify your goals. From there, she’ll be able to recommend the most efficient plan of action. In some cases, it might require more cosmetic services than restorative ones.
Generally speaking, restorative dentistry is step one. Dr. Bien starts by fixing functional issues like missing, broken, or decaying teeth. Once that’s taken care of, she can work on the look of the restorative care.
