Reconstructive Dentistry

Reconstructive Dentistry is probably the broadest and most inclusive term used to describe the concept of replacing, rebuilding or creating, for the first time, the elements and relationships between teeth, the upper and lower jaws and overall facial structures. It takes a dentist whose artistry could fingerprint a smile, one that is created just for that indvidual enhancing the patients’ facial features.

Elements of Change

Although reconstructive treatment plans typically involve units of replacement or reparative dentistry (replacing a crown, a filling, an implant, bridge, etc.), the terms are not interchangeable.

Rather, Dental Reconstruction refers to the elements of change introduced by treating and/or replacing tooth structures and ... most importantly.. the process of assuring an optimization of aesthetics (cosmetics) and the bite that maintains dental function for each and every unique patient.

Reconstruction: Creating What Mother Nature Forgot

In general terms... it is rare that any given individual will have picture perfect teeth and a smile that compliments a person's features in every possible way. Through cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry your dreams of a beautiful healthy smile, could be a reality.
