What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry is an area of dentistry that focuses on restoring your oral health. It includes the various treatments that are used to repair damaged teeth, and to replace teeth that have been lost due to oral injuries or chronic oral health issues.

Restorative Dental Treatments

Composite fillings

Filling a cavity restores your tooth structure and prevents further decay. To blend in with your natural teeth, we color-match using a composite resin.

What to Expect:

• Precise removal of decay, cleaning of the cavity, and placement of a composite resin.
• Mild sensitivity for a few days may occur as your tooth adjusts.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown fully caps a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength and appearance. This treatment is common when the tooth’s surface needs strengthening due to fracture or wear.

What to Expect:

• Tooth preparation (removal of damaged tissue, shaping).
• Digital scan to determine the placement of the final crown.
• Final check of fit, bite, and appearance before you leave.

Veneers

Both a cosmetic and a restorative treatment, veneers are thin, custom-designed shells of ceramic or composite material that bond to the surface of your teeth. They can improve shape, color, proportion, and symmetry to create a natural-looking, confident smile.

What to Expect:

• A smile design consultation to determine color, shape, and overall goals
• Minor reshaping of the tooth surface (in some cases, no preparation is needed)
• Digital imaging to create your custom veneers
• Placement, bonding, and refinement for ideal comfort and alignment

Dental Bridges

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants. It fills the gap, restores chewing ability, and supports facial shape.

What to Expect:

• Diagnostic workup, including X-rays and models.
• Preparation of anchor teeth or implants
• Final bridge placement, adjustments, and care instructions.

Dental Implants

A dental implant is a titanium anchor placed into the jaw bone, replacing the root of a missing tooth. A crown, bridge, or denture attaches to the implant, providing a durable and bone-preserving solution.

When it comes to tooth replacement, dental implants are the closest functional and aesthetic match to natural teeth.

• Single tooth implants: an anchor and a crown
• Implant-supported bridges: replaces several missing adjacent teeth with a bridge supported by two or more implants. 
• Implant-supported dentures: multiple anchors that attach to a set of dentures

Implant Restoration

Though designed for longevity, dental implants sometimes need their own maintenance. If your implant is causing discomfort or has been damaged, call our Macomb office for a repair at (586) 784-6725

Full-Mouth Rehabilitation

If you’re ready to rebuild your smile’s function, strength, and aesthetics with one coordinated, customized plan, Dr. Umair and Dr. Irum Waheed are ready to help you achieve it. For those with multiple areas of their mouth requiring attention (missing teeth, worn/damaged teeth, bit problems, gum or bone issues) we can integrate multiple restorative and cosmetic treatments.

What to Expect:

• A thorough consultation at our Macomb office with Dr. Umair or Dr. Irum.
• Diagnostics, prototypes, and planning.
• Treatment of gum/periodontal foundation and the surrounding teeth, if needed.
• Placement of implants, crowns, and/or bridges, bite adjustment.
• Finalization and long-term maintenance plan.

Sedation Options

Most restorative dental treatments require some sedation, so you are comfortable and pain-free. No matter your situation or procedure, sedation is safe with Dr. Umair and Dr. Irum, and we offer a variety of options for different levels of sedation at our office in Macomb.

• Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas)
• Oral Conscious Sedation
• Intravenous (IV) Sedation

Why Restorative Health Matters

Restoration isn’t all about aesthetics, it’s functional and foundational to your overall health and quality of life. Healthy, functioning teeth and gums allow you to eat well, speak clearly, maintain long-term bone health, and smile every day with confidence. Restoring your mouth is an investment in lifelong comfort and wellbeing.
