One of the most common questions we receive is about the difference between cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry. While the two share some overlap, they serve distinct purposes. Let’s dive into the details.

What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the aesthetics of your smile. By addressing the appearance of your teeth and gums, cosmetic procedures help create a smile that enhances your confidence and overall appearance.

Common Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

At Signature Smile Family Dentistry, we offer several cosmetic treatments to help you achieve your dream smile:

Gum Contouring

Gum contouring reshapes and sculpts the gum line, creating a more symmetrical and appealing smile.

Dental Veneers

Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth. They correct imperfections such as discoloration, chips, or uneven teeth.

Orthodontic Treatments

From traditional braces to clear aligners, orthodontics straighten misaligned teeth for a more uniform and functional smile.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening treatments, performed in-office or at home, provide dramatic improvements in tooth brightness.

Dental Bonding

Bonding involves applying a tooth-colored resin to repair minor imperfections like chips, gaps, or uneven edges.

Smile Makeovers

A comprehensive smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic treatments to address various aesthetic concerns.

What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and restoring the functionality of teeth and gums. Whether you’re dealing with decay, damage, or missing teeth, restorative procedures aim to bring your oral health back to optimal condition while improving the appearance of your smile.

Common Restorative Dentistry Procedures

Our Rockledge practice offers the following restorative dental treatments:

Dentures

Custom-designed dentures replace multiple missing teeth or even a full arch, restoring your ability to chew and speak comfortably.

Dental Crowns

Crowns cover and protect damaged teeth, restoring their shape, strength, and appearance.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. Surgically placed into the jawbone, implants support crowns for a natural look and feel.

Dental Bridges

Bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth, using adjacent natural teeth or implants for support.

Composite Fillings

Composite fillings repair cavities using durable, tooth-colored resin for a seamless finish.

Full Mouth Reconstruction

In cases of advanced decay or damage, full mouth reconstruction combines multiple restorative and cosmetic procedures to restore oral health and functionality completely.

Key Differences Between Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry

While both cosmetic and restorative dentistry can improve the appearance of your smile, their primary focus differs:

Cosmetic Dentistry

  • Goal: Enhances the aesthetics of your teeth, gums, and smile.
  • Examples: Teeth whitening, veneers, gum contouring.
  • Focus: Addressing imperfections such as discoloration, misalignment, and asymmetry.

Restorative Dentistry

  • Goal: Restores the form and function of your teeth and gums.
  • Examples: Crowns, fillings, implants.
  • Focus: Repairing damage caused by decay, injury, or disease.

Procedures That Overlap

Some dental treatments serve both cosmetic and restorative purposes. For example:

  • Dental Crowns: While crowns are often used to protect and strengthen a damaged tooth, they can also enhance the tooth’s appearance by improving its shape or color.
  • Dental Implants: Implants restore functionality by replacing missing teeth, contributing to a more natural and attractive smile.
