What’s the difference between restorative and cosmetic dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is performed with the intention of repairing teeth that have been damaged or replacing them altogether, while cosmetic dentistry is focused on enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the patient’s teeth. However, there is a lot of overlap between cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Our dental restorations like our crowns, bridges, and dentures, for example, are designed to protect, support, and replace teeth while also restoring their cosmetic appearance and blending in seamlessly with the rest of the patient’s smile.
