Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry consists of a set of treatments that are used to solve problems that come forward in oral health and thus restore the functionality of the mouth. The main objective of restorative dentistry treatments is to preserve as many natural tissues as possible.

What type of treatments does restorative dentistry include?
- Dental crowns: A dental crown is a cover that is placed over a damaged tooth. The placement of a dental crown is necessary when there is not enough tooth left, to prevent a damaged tooth from being fractured or to repair a broken or worn tooth.
- Dental Bridges: A dental bridge is a type of dental prosthesis that rests on the healthy teeth that the patient still has in his or her mouth.
