Despite the practice of proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, some factors may still cause harm to the teeth. Thankfully, there is a branch in dentistry that can keep the mouth fully functional and healthy and it is referred to as restorative dentistry. It consists of various procedures that can restore a damaged or lost tooth effectively to keep the overall oral health in good shape.

At Hoffman Smiles, through the use of modern technology and improved techniques, we can now offer several options for our patients to choose from. Rest assured that these procedures are carefully performed to guarantee favorable results. The following are the possible restorations we offer at our practice.

• Inlays and onlays for teeth that are too damaged to receive a filling but are not too damaged to require a crown.
• Composite fillings directly applied on the teeth to reverse the effects of cavities, cracks, chips, and wear.
• Crowns are used to save and preserve a tooth from further damage as well as weakening. It can be attached to dental implants to serve as single tooth replacement.
• Bridges work by “bridging” the gaps between teeth due to tooth loss. It can also be used as a prosthesis for implants as multiple teeth replacement.
• Dentures either full or partial is used to replace the teeth that were lost. It can even provide fixed teeth restoration if partnered with dental implants.
