While a preventative dentist focuses on preventing dental problems before they can occur, and cosmetic dentists are concerned mainly with the appearance of teeth, a restorative dentist repairs teeth and helps you heal chronic issues in the gums. This particular subgenre of the field of dentistry is similar to orthodontics in its approach to solving ongoing problems with the integrity and function of teeth. Still, while orthodontic work seeks to align the bite and evenly space the teeth through the use of appliances, restorative dentistry concentrates on curing conditions such as gingivitis, periodontitis, dental caries (cavities), and broken teeth. The four types of dental work can be best explained thus: orthodontics makes sure that all teeth and the jaw are in the correct positions, preventative dentistry strives to avert the development of dental issues, restorative dentistry attacks those problems if they do occur, and cosmetic dentistry optimizes the appearance of the smile.
