When decay, damage, or missing teeth compromise your smile’s function and appearance, restorative dentistry offers comprehensive solutions to rebuild your oral health from the ground up. Whether you’ve been living with a damaged tooth for years or recently experienced dental trauma, understanding your restoration options empowers you to make informed decisions about your smile’s future.
Charlotte Dental Arts combines advanced digital dentistry with over 20 years of restorative experience to transform compromised smiles into healthy, functional masterpieces. Our practice serves Charlotte and surrounding communities with personalized treatment plans using cutting-edge technology like CEREC same-day restorations. We understand each patient presents unique challenges, which is why we offer comprehensive evaluations to determine the most effective restorative approach for your specific needs.
Understanding Modern Restorative Dentistry Options
Restorative dentistry encompasses various treatments designed to repair, replace, and rehabilitate damaged or missing teeth. Today’s advanced materials and techniques allow us to restore both function and aesthetics simultaneously, ensuring your new restorations look and feel natural. From minor repairs to complete smile transformations, modern restorative dentistry provides durable, long-lasting solutions tailored to your oral health requirements.
The evolution of restorative dentistry has revolutionized how we approach dental rehabilitation. Digital imaging, computer-aided design, and precision milling technology enable us to create restorations matching your natural teeth’s exact specifications. These advancements mean shorter treatment times, improved accuracy, and enhanced comfort throughout your restoration journey.

Advanced Restoration Technologies
Our practice utilizes CEREC technology for same-day crowns and bridges, eliminating traditional impression materials and temporary restorations. This digital approach captures precise measurements of your teeth, allowing us to design and manufacture permanent restorations during a single appointment. The convenience of same-day dentistry means you leave our office with your completed restoration, reducing time away from work and eliminating multiple visits.
Beyond crown and bridge work, we integrate digital planning for complex cases requiring full mouth reconstruction. This comprehensive approach addresses multiple dental issues simultaneously, restoring proper bite alignment, jaw function, and aesthetic harmony. Our team carefully evaluates your entire oral system to develop restoration strategies addressing immediate concerns while preventing future complications.

The Restorative Process and What to Expect
Beginning your restorative journey starts with a comprehensive evaluation examining your teeth, gums, jaw joints, and overall oral health. Digital X-rays and 3D imaging provide detailed views of underlying structures, revealing issues not visible during visual examination. This thorough assessment ensures we identify all areas requiring attention before developing your personalized treatment plan.
During consultation, we discuss various restoration options suitable for your condition, explaining benefits, limitations, and expected outcomes for each approach. We consider factors including your lifestyle, budget, timeline, and aesthetic preferences when recommending treatments. Our team believes informed patients make confident decisions, so we encourage questions and provide detailed explanations throughout the planning process.
