Our restorative dentistry<\/a> procedures offer our patients in Kailua-Kona complete care for teeth and gums that have been damaged in any way. This branch of dental medicine is concerned with correcting issues so that you can eat, speak, and maintain a well-aligned bite.<\/p>\n

Issues Addressed by Restorative Dentistry<\/h3>\n

Anything that affects the function of your teeth or gums can fall under the umbrella of restorative dentistry. This may include covering or fixing broken or chipped teeth, replacing missing teeth, treating infected gums or tooth roots, and addressing damaged tissue. Any procedure that goes beyond general dentistry could be considered a restorative dentistry procedure. Even some cosmetic procedures can help restore teeth and gums to their full function.<\/p>\n

Common Restorative Dentistry Procedures<\/h3>\n

We have many procedures we can use in restorative dentistry. For example, dentures and dental implants<\/a> are treatments that replace missing teeth. Dental crowns cover and protect teeth that are cracked, chipped, or decaying. Dental bridges can help adjust a misaligned bite and replace missing teeth.<\/p>\n

Restorative dentistry also involves treatments such as root canals and gum disease treatment. While many patients balk at the mention of a root canal, rest assured that modern day dental medicine has made this procedure pain-free and easy. Restorative dentistry even extends to dental surgery for removing cysts or tumors in the jaw, or many other reconstructive procedures.<\/p>\n
