What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Think of restorative dentistry as repair work for your mouth. These treatments fix damaged teeth, replace missing ones, and get everything working properly again. While cosmetic dentistry focuses on looks, restorative work is all about function first – though the results often look great too.

Whether you need a small filling or extensive dental restoration services, the goal is always the same: healthy teeth that work the way they should.

Our Restorative Dentistry Services in Kennesaw, GA

Hester Dental offers a complete range of restorative treatments – from simple fillings to full mouth reconstructions.

Composite Tooth-Colored Fillings

When cavities strike, tooth-colored fillings fix the damage without the obvious silver look of old-style fillings.

Why patients love them:

Match your natural tooth color perfectly
Mercury-free and safe
Bond directly to your tooth for strength
Typically last 7-10 years with good care

These composite fillings are durable enough for most cavities and virtually invisible once in place.

Dental Crowns to Protect and Strengthen Teeth

Think of a crown as a protective cap that covers your entire tooth. We recommend them after large fillings, root canals, or when a tooth has cracked or broken.

Our crown process:

Custom-made in a dental lab for a perfect fit
Available in porcelain or ceramic for a natural look
Built to last 15+ years with proper care
Two-visit process for optimal quality

While we don’t offer same-day crowns, our lab-crafted restorations provide superior fit and durability that’s worth the wait.

Dental Bridges for Missing Teeth

Missing a tooth? A bridge literally bridges the gap using crowns on the neighboring teeth to support a replacement tooth in between.

Benefits of bridges:

Restore your ability to chew properly
Prevent remaining teeth from shifting
Maintain your natural bite alignment
Look and feel like your natural teeth

Partials and Full Dentures

Modern dentures aren’t your grandparents’ teeth! Today’s partial and complete dentures are more comfortable, natural-looking, and affordable than ever.

Denture options:

Partial dentures replace several missing teeth
Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw
Custom-fitted for comfort and stability
Much more affordable than implants

Wondering about dentures versus implants? We’ll help you understand which option works best for your situation and budget.

Inlays and Onlays for Precise Repairs

When a filling would be too small but a crown would be too much, inlays and onlays are the perfect middle ground. These custom-made restorations repair moderate damage while preserving as much healthy tooth as possible.

Made in a dental lab for precise fit, they’re more durable than regular fillings and more conservative than crowns.

Full-mouth Restoration for Complex Needs

Some patients need more than one or two fixes—they need a complete transformation. Full-mouth restorations combine multiple treatments, such as implants, crowns, bridges, and dentures, to rebuild severely damaged smiles.

Our approach:

Digital planning for precise results
Staged treatment for comfort and affordability
Combination of implants, crowns, and other restorations
Personalized to your specific needs

This is one of Dr. Hester’s specialties, and our digital workflow technology helps us plan every detail before we start.

TMD Treatment with a Centric Relation Approach

Jaw pain, headaches, and worn teeth often come from bite problems. Our advanced centric relation approach realigns your bite, reducing jaw strain and protecting your teeth from further damage.

This specialized treatment sets us apart from other practices and can dramatically improve both comfort and long-term dental health.

Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dentistry

Crowns are a core restorative treatment that protects weakened teeth. They restore both function and strength to damaged teeth.

Composite fillings last about 7-10 years, depending on location and care. Back teeth that do more chewing may need replacement sooner.

Root canal therapy is a restorative treatment that saves and preserves natural teeth. It’s often followed by a crown for complete restoration.

Restorative dentistry restores function and oral health, while cosmetic dentistry enhances appearance. Many treatments accomplish both goals.

Dentures can be supported by implants for greater stability and comfort. This combination offers more security than traditional dentures alone.
