Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry in Austin
Form and function together
Attractive smiles must chew comfortably and protect joints and muscles. We plan cosmetics with bite stability in mind. That reduces chipping and sensitivity over time.
Restorative options
Tooth colored fillings
Bonded composites rebuild small areas after decay removal. They preserve more natural tooth than older metal fillings.
All ceramic crowns and onlays
Strengthen weak or cracked teeth. Modern ceramics can match adjacent teeth and resist staining.
Dental implants
Replace missing roots to support crowns or bridges. Implants help preserve bone volume. Success depends on overall health, bone quality, and home care.
Bridges
Replace a single missing tooth or short spans when implants are not suitable. Bridges require shaping neighboring teeth.
Full mouth rehabilitation
Coordinated plan across many teeth to rebuild wear, fractures, and bite issues. Often completed in phases.

FAQs
Implants or bridges
Implants do not involve neighboring teeth and help maintain bone. Bridges restore faster and can be a good choice when adjacent teeth already need crowns.
Will I need root canals with crowns
Most crowned teeth do not need root canals. We monitor nerve health before and after treatment.
