Restorative Dentistry
Do you have missing, decayed, or damaged teeth that impact your ability to eat and speak properly?
Restorative dentistry treatments can restore the health, function, and appearance of your smile.
The dentists at Perfect Smiles California in Chula Vista, CA, can craft a treatment plan to give you a beautiful and functional smile again.
Restorative vs. Cosmetic Dentistry Understanding the Difference
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry focuses on improving your oral health and function by repairing damaged teeth, eliminating decay, treating gum disease, and more. Though restorative practices may improve the aesthetics of your smile, aesthetics aren't the end goal of restorative treatment.
Cosmetic Dentistry
The focus of cosmetic dentistry is to improve the appearance of your smile with treatments like teeth whitening and veneers. Some cosmetic procedures may also have restorative benefits, but your smile must be in a state of good health before you can pursue cosmetic work for its own sake.
Benefits of Restorative Dentistry
Restored Function
Oral health issues can impact your ability to eat and speak properly. Restorative treatment can allow you to eat and speak normally once again. If you have missing teeth, our dentists can place dental implants, which prevent jawbone degeneration and support lifelike restorations.
Improved Oral Health
Tooth decay can lead to further problems, such as gum disease and infection, and missing teeth can lead to bone atrophy and further tooth loss. Restorative dentistry can fix these issues and prevent additional issues from developing.
Boosted Self-Confidence
Having an issue with your smile can feel embarrassing. However, restorative dentistry treatments don't just restore function—they can also improve your appearance, allowing you to smile with confidence.

Everyone has unique dental health needs. At Perfect Smiles California, Drs. David Garate and Myriam Falcon can craft a custom treatment plan using state-of-the-art technology to restore your oral function and appearance once more. Your treatment plan may include:
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are an excellent restorative treatment option to repair a tooth after treatment for decay. Our dentistry practice uses mercury-free fillings, which are biocompatible and look natural in your mouth. A filling can restore natural tooth structure and help defend the tooth against further decay.
Dental Crowns
When a tooth is decayed or damaged past the point of repair with an inlay, onlay, or filling, a dental crown is often the best treatment to restore it. Dental crowns are caps that cover teeth to enhance function and appearance. They can be made of porcelain or zirconia, materials that can be color-matched with your natural teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts that replace missing tooth roots. They support lifelike crowns, bridges, or dentures that restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably. Implants are the only restorative dentistry option that can prevent the jawbone atrophy that occurs when teeth are missing.
Dentures
Dentures replace most or all of the teeth along a dental arch. Traditional dentures rely on denture adhesives, but implant-supported dentures attach directly to the jawbone for superior stability. At our dentistry practice, we offer traditional, implant-supported, and All-on-4® dentures.

All-on-4 Dental Implants
While it traditionally takes six to eight implants to support a full-arch denture, the All-on-4 technique uses just four. This often eliminates the need for a preparatory bone graft, which restores lost jawbone tissue after tooth loss. All-on-4 allows you to restore your smile with a temporary denture on the same day as your implant placement surgery, potentially eliminating months from your treatment timeline.
If your concerns mainly have to do with the appearance of your smile, cosmetic dentistry treatments may be a better option for you. Our dentists offer multiple cosmetic dentistry options, such as veneers, dental bonding, and teeth whitening, at our Chula Vista, CA, office.
A Closer Look at All-on-4
All-on-4 is a restorative treatment option that can support a full-arch denture with just four dental implants, allowing patients to leave surgery with a provisional set of dentures.
We Use Innovative Technology To Give You the Very Best Results
Our dentists use highly regarded dental tools to aid them in dentistry treatments. Some of the technology our staff uses regularly includes:
Say goodbye to uncomfortable traditional impressions and hello to digital impressions. Using a 3D scanner, our hygienists can capture an accurate image of your smile without messy dental putty.
Our Chula Vista dentists use a 3D printer to precisely design surgical guides for implant placement and more. These guides can help our dentists customize your surgical plan to meet your unique needs and deliver the finest results.
We use the latest electric hand tools to carry out restorative dentistry procedures, such as treating tooth decay. These tools allow our dentists to perform highly accurate and effective treatments.
Insurance and Financing For Restorative Dental Care
Most insurance plans will help cover this form of dentistry. However, we still have a range of options for patients who are uninsured or need help covering out-of-pocket costs. Our practice accepts financing through CareCredit®, Wells Fargo, LendingClub®, and Sunbit. These lenders offer loans with flexible repayment periods that can make your life-changing treatment work for your budget.
