HOW TO GET THE SMILE OF YOUR DREAMS WITH VENEERS

Restore and Revitalize Your Smile with Expertise Dental

Introduction

A bright, healthy smile isn’t just about aesthetics—it plays a crucial role in confidence, function, and overall well-being. At Expertise Dental in Mount Pleasant, our restorative dentistry services are designed to bring back the beauty and functionality of your teeth.

What is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and restoring damaged, decayed, or missing teeth to enhance both function and appearance. Unlike cosmetic dentistry, which prioritizes aesthetics, restorative treatments also improve oral health and prevent future complications.

Key Benefits of Restorative Dentistry

  • Restores the natural function of teeth
  • Enhances the appearance of your smile
  • Prevents further oral health issues
  • Boosts self-confidence
  • Provides long-lasting solutions for dental concerns

Our Restorative Dentistry Services

1. Dental Fillings: Stop Decay in Its Tracks

Cavities are common, but they don’t have to compromise your smile. Our composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while stopping decay from spreading further.

2. Dental Crowns: Strengthen and Protect

For teeth that are weakened, cracked, or severely decayed, dental crowns offer a sturdy and natural-looking solution. Made from high-quality materials, they restore both function and aesthetics.

3. Dental Bridges: Close the Gaps

Missing teeth can affect everything from speech to chewing. A dental bridge fills the gap, preventing surrounding teeth from shifting and maintaining your natural bite alignment.

4. Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution

Dental implants mimic natural teeth, offering a durable and permanent replacement for missing teeth. They fuse with your jawbone, providing unmatched stability and a natural feel.

5. Dentures: A Comfortable and Custom Fit

For those missing multiple teeth, dentures provide an effective solution. Whether full or partial, modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before.

6. Root Canal Therapy: Save Your Natural Tooth

A severe infection doesn’t always mean losing a tooth. Root canal therapy removes infection, relieves pain, and preserves your natural tooth structure.

7. Inlays and Onlays: Customized Restorations

When a filling isn’t enough but a crown is too much, inlays and onlays provide a perfect middle-ground solution, offering strength and longevity.

Creating a Comfortable Experience

Our team prioritizes empathy, comfort, and personalized care, ensuring you feel relaxed every step of the way.

FAQs

1. How long does a dental implant procedure take?

The full process can take several months, including healing time, but the result is a permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement.

2. Are dental crowns painful?

No, the procedure is done under local anesthesia, and any post-treatment discomfort is minimal and temporary.

3. How do I know if I need a root canal?

Persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot/cold, and swelling around the gums may indicate the need for a root canal.

4. Can I eat normally with dental bridges or implants?

Yes! Once fully healed, you can enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.

5. How long do dentures last?

With proper care, dentures can last 5-10 years before needing adjustments or replacements.

I discovered Dr. Mennito through his students at MUSC. As they described his meticulous work and attention to detail, they made it clear he would be their choice for any cosmetic dentistry. When Dr. Mennito completed my cosmetic veneers and crowns, he and his staff exceeded my expectations. He had... a clear plan we followed that has made my smile exactly as I had hoped! I often catch my wife and daughters staring at my smile. They are as pleased as I am with the end result!read more

Beth was my hygentist today. She welcomed me with a heated pad for the back of my neck and covered my shirt with a soft towel before adding the splash protection. She was gentle and thorough using a water pick prior to using the metal pick. This was to clear any bacteria first. We had a nice... conversation. Beth was born in Iowa but she is much too ladylike to live on a farm. Her husband is an insurance unwriter from Memphis. They have 2 boys ages 8 and 10. They left Kansas City to move closer to their favorite vacation place - Pawleys Is. And some of their family followed. Beth has hazel eyes that as she says looks like a muddy river. I think!In any event, she is the best and I feel blessed to have her take care of me. Thanks Beth!!read more
