A healthy mouth is a fundamental part of your overall well-being. When your mouth and teeth suffer, there can be ripple effects on the rest of your physical health, particularly your stomach and your heart, as they absorb the bacteria. Moreover, you can deal with a loss of confidence and self-esteem. The mouth is something that it’s very easy to take for granted. Until a problem arises. That’s when restorative dentistry is needed.

Through our nonprofit, Always Smile, we restore confidence by providing life-changing dental care to those in need.
The restorative techniques we use include:
The All-on-Four dental implant system offers a life-changing solution for patients missing most or all of their teeth. This innovative technique uses just four strategically placed implants to support an entire arch of replacement teeth, providing a stable and natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures.
These implants seek to restore full functionality, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. The procedure is efficient, often completed in a single day, hopefully minimizing your recovery time.
Dental bonding is a quick, cost-effective solution for minor imperfections like chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth. During the bonding procedure, a tooth-colored resin is applied to the affected area, sculpted into shape, and hardened with a special light. This is done to enhance your tooth’s appearance and restore its function. Ideal for small repairs, bonding also helps fill minor gaps or protect exposed tooth roots.
The treatment is typically painless and can usually be completed in a single visit. With proper care, bonded teeth can last for a long time.
Dental bridges are a reliable option for replacing one or more missing teeth. They work by anchoring an artificial tooth to adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants. Bridges can restore the appearance and function of your smile, allowing you to eat, speak, and chew comfortably. These custom prosthetics are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing both aesthetics and oral health.
By filling gaps, bridges also help prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of place, which can lead to alignment issues or bite problems. With proper care, bridges can be very durable, delivering a strong, stable, and attractive solution.
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their strength, shape, and appearance. Made from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal, crowns are ideal for teeth that have suffered from decay, fractures, or large fillings. They are also used in conjunction with dental implants or as part of root canal treatments.
Crowns are used to restore functionality and protect the tooth from further damage. Designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, they can provide long-lasting results that support a healthy, confident smile.
Dentures are a flexible solution for replacing missing teeth and can be customized to your specific needs. Full dentures replace an entire arch, while partial dentures are designed for patients with some remaining natural teeth. Modern dentures are lightweight, comfortable, and crafted to mimic the look of natural teeth and gums.
They can restore essential functions like eating and speaking while your boosting self-confidence. This removable option is both cost-effective and comparatively easy to maintain, providing a simple yet effective way to enhance your oral health and overall quality of life.
Full mouth reconstruction combines multiple restorative procedures to rebuild and rehabilitate an entire mouth. It’s ideal for patients with significant dental issues such as widespread decay, gum disease, or missing teeth. The process is highly personalized, often involving the methods discussed above–crowns, bridges, dental implants, or dentures–to address functional and aesthetic concerns.
This comprehensive approach is designed to restore your chewing and speaking abilities and rejuvenate the appearance of your smile. By improving oral health and functionality, full mouth reconstruction can enhance your comfort, confidence, and overall well-being.
A smile makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic and restorative treatments that aims to enhance the appearance of your smile. Depending on your unique needs and goals, it may include options like veneers, bonding, teeth whitening, or crowns.
This process focuses on balancing aesthetics and functionality, addressing discoloration, misalignment, or damage. Smile makeovers are done to boost self-confidence and create a lasting, positive impression.
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth, with the goal of creating a flawless, natural-looking smile. Often made of porcelain or resin, veneers are ideal for addressing discoloration, chips, gaps, or slight misalignment. This minimally invasive procedure involves removing a small amount of enamel to create a perfect fit, followed by bonding the veneers to the teeth.
Veneers are durable, stain-resistant, and typically require little maintenance beyond standard oral hygiene practices.
