What is restorative dentistry, and how can it help repair your smile?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. The goal is to bring back your ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.
As Dr. Post often says,
“We focus on care that fits the patient, not unnecessary procedures. When treatment feels right for the person, results last longer and smiles look more natural.”

It fixes functional and aesthetic issues from decay, damage, or loss, restoring comfort. Common fixes:
- Chipped or cracked teeth.
- Cavities/old fillings.
- Missing teeth/spaces.
