Preventive dentistry is dental care that helps maintain good oral health. It’s a combination of regular dental check-ups along with developing good habits like brushing and flossing. Taking care of your teeth starts early in childhood and extends throughout the course of your life.

Preventive care could include the following:

  • Fluoride Treatment
  • Emergency Dentistry
  • Cleaning & Check Ups
  • Children’s Dentistry
  • Oral Cancer Screenings
  • Sealants
  • Gum Disease Therapy
  • TMJ Therapy

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth. These procedures help improve oral health and function. Common dental restorations include crowns, bridges and implants.

Restorative care could include the following:

  • Implants
  • Crowns
  • Tooth-Colored Fillings
  • Partial Dentures
  • Implant Retained Dentures

 

What’s the difference between restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on improving oral health and function. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your smile.

Some dental procedures offer both functional and cosmetic improvements (aesthetic restorative dentistry). For example, a dental crown restores chewing function, but it can also make your smile look more uniform.

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the overall appearance of your teeth, gums and smile. It’s important to keep up with general dental care to maintain healthy tooth function, but cosmetic dentistry treatments can complement overall oral health by enhancing a patient’s smile, with the potential added benefits of improved self-esteem and confidence.

Cosmetic dentistry could include the following:

  • Teeth Whitening
  • Bonding
  • Veneers
  • Clear Aligners

Teeth Whitening – A Popular Trend

Tooth whitening lightens teeth and helps to remove stains and discoloration. Whitening is among the most popular cosmetic dental procedures because it can greatly improve how your teeth look. Most dentists perform tooth whitening.

There are two main types of whitening procedures. Vital whitening is performed on teeth that have live nerves. Non-vital whitening is done on a tooth that has had root-canal treatment and no longer has a live nerve

Whitening is not a one-time procedure. It will need to be repeated from time to time if you want to maintain the brighter color.
