Restorative Dentistry
Missing and damaged teeth can cause pain when chewing and discomfort when smiling.
Restorative dentistry options can replace your missing and damaged teeth to improve the functionality and appearance of your mouth.
See how our dentists at Premier Dental & Implant Center in Orland Park, IL, can provide you with relief through restorative dentistry.
What Can Restorative
Dentistry Correct?
Unlike cosmetic dentistry, which aims to correct the appearance of otherwise healthy teeth, restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or restoring damaged and missing teeth. Our compassionate team at Premier Dental & Implant Center uses sophisticated technology to restore your bite, bring back your smile, and prevent future oral health problems. Restorative dentistry can address a number of concerns, including:
- Decay
- Broken teeth
- Fractured teeth
- Missing teeth
Restorative Dentistry Treatments AND HOW THIS BRANCH OF DENTISTRY CAN HELP
Fillings are used to restore a tooth after a cavity. After our Orland Park dentist removes the compromised tissue from a tooth, dental fillings can fill the hole and restore the structure of the tooth.
Dental implants provide a firm foundation for crowns, bridges, and dentures. Implant-supported restorations are often considered the best method of tooth replacement due to their stability and durability.

Crooked teeth often cause uneven wear on teeth, damaging them and sending you to the dentist for restoration work. Misaligned teeth can also be difficult to clean. That opens the door to tooth decay or gum disease.
If you are looking to avoid future restoration costs, you may want to consider orthodontic treatment. Our Orland Park practice offers both fixed and removable braces tailored to suit your lifestyle and dental needs.
Protect Your Smile
Look to Cosmetic Dentistry For a Beautiful Smile
While restorative dentistry ensures your teeth are healthy and strong, cosmetic dentistry concentrates on making the most of your smile.
Veneers are a popular example. These thin ceramic shells fit on the front of teeth and transform your smile by concealing gaps, misshapen teeth, and other cosmetic issues.
Maintaining Your Restoration
Caring for your restoration following treatment at our Orland Park practice is simple and can help your dental solution last for years.
Follow an Oral Hygiene Routine
Your at-home dental care will help preserve your restoration and keep your mouth healthy enough to support it. Brushing twice each day, flossing once each day, and using an oral rinse are integral parts of any dental care plan.
Visit the Dentist Regularly
Scheduling regular checkups at our Orland Park office will allow your dentist to ensure you're taking care of your teeth. If you have a restorative solution like a crown, bridge, or denture, your dentist will monitor its condition.
