Restorative vs Cosmetic Dental Care: What You Need to Know

A beautiful smile is important for both confidence and oral health. Here at Dental Clinic in Malaysia, we understand that you want a smile that looks great and functions perfectly. That’s why we offer a wide range of cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedures.

Cosmetic Dentistry: Enhancing Your Smile’s Appearance

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the look of your teeth and smile. While some cosmetic procedures may also improve your smile’s function, their main goal is aesthetics. Here are some of the most common cosmetic procedures we offer:

  • Fixing Chipped Teeth: Bonding can repair chipped teeth using a tooth-colored putty that is sculpted and polished to blend seamlessly with your existing tooth.
  • Teeth Whitening: Professional whitening can remove stains and discoloration from your teeth, leaving you with a brighter, more youthful smile.
  • Reshaping Teeth: If you have a tooth that is uneven or misshapen, we can use laser contouring to reshape it for a more symmetrical appearance.
  • Veneers: Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front of your teeth to cover up cracks, chips, discoloration, or gaps.

These procedures are ideal for patients who have healthy teeth and gums and want to improve their smile’s appearance.

Restorative Dentistry: Keeping Your Smile Healthy and Functional

Restorative dentistry focuses on procedures that improve your oral health and the function of your teeth. This includes addressing any problems that could cause pain, discomfort, or further damage to your teeth. Here are some of the most common restorative procedures we offer:

  • Fillings: Fillings are used to treat cavities and prevent further decay. The filling material is placed in the hole created by the cavity to restore the tooth’s strength and structure.
  • Bridges: Bridges are designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They are attached to the good teeth on either side of the gap and hold a replacement tooth or teeth.
  • Dental Implants: Implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. A small screw is surgically implanted into your jawbone, and a crown is attached to the screw to look and function just like a natural tooth.
  • Jawbone Grafting: Jawbone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild bone loss in the jaw. This can be necessary before placing dental implants or other restorative procedures.

Restorative dentistry at Dental Clinic is dedicated to ensuring your smile functions optimally and feels its best.  We prioritize addressing any necessary restorative procedures before recommending cosmetic enhancements. After all, a healthy foundation is essential for a beautiful and functional smile
