One of the best things about dentistry is that with the updates to treatments and dental technology, we are able to improve any problem you are experiencing with your oral health. From time to time, we see a patient who is experiencing such complications with their oral health that we need to complete a total restoration. We never want our patients to feel self-conscious or that we are judging them by the state of their teeth.
