What Is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry in Dunwoody focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth to improve function and appearance. We help patients regain confidence in their smiles with custom dentures, partial dentures, and other restorative solutions tailored to fit comfortably and look natural.
Dentures and Partials: What You Can Expect
Choosing dentures or partials at our family-owned practice means more than just restoring your teeth. We help you regain everyday joys like laughing freely, enjoying your favorite meals, and speaking without hesitation.

- Natural-Looking Appearance: Custom color, shape, and fit restore your smile and facial structure.
- Improved Function: Eat, speak, and chew with ease again.
- Increased Comfort: Lightweight, carefully contoured designs prevent slipping or irritation.
- Better Oral Health: Replacing missing teeth supports jawbone health and protects remaining teeth.
- Cost-Effective Results: Dentures and partials offer an affordable path to a functional, attractive smile.
When Should You Consider Dentures or Partials?
Dr. Mistry evaluates each case carefully, using CBCT scans, intraoral scanners, and digital X-rays to get a complete picture of your dental health before recommending treatment. Many people delay treatment, unsure of when the time is right. If you’ve experienced any of the following, it may be time to consider restorative care:
- You’re missing several or all of your teeth
- You struggle to chew comfortably or eat certain foods
- You avoid smiling due to gaps or worn-down teeth
- You feel self-conscious about facial sagging or sunken cheeks
- You’ve had repeated dental work and need a long-term solution
How We Restore Your Smile
We follow a step-by-step process designed to ensure a precise fit and natural look, while keeping you comfortable from start to finish.
Step 1: Personalized Consultation and Imaging
During your first visit, we talk through your goals and concerns. The dentist uses a digital scanner and CBCT technology to evaluate the health of your gums, remaining teeth, and jawbone. This helps us design a restoration that feels great and functions well. Our team reviews your insurance coverage and walks you through financing options, including flexible monthly plans through CareCredit.
Step 2: Custom Design for a Natural Look
We create a digital blueprint for your new dentures or partials using detailed scans and advanced design software. This stage ensures a customized fit that blends naturally with your features and enhances your overall appearance. The lab then fabricates your restoration with precision materials for lasting comfort and durability.
Step 3: Fitting and Comfort Touches
Once your dentures or partials are ready, we bring you in for a detailed fitting. The dentist ensures everything aligns properly with your bite and makes real-time adjustments. During this appointment, we offer small comforts like warm towels, chapstick, and water to help you feel relaxed and cared for.
Step 4: Final Placement and Ongoing Support
After a successful fitting, we place your final restoration and provide cleaning, storage, and care tips. We recommend regular checkups so we can monitor the fit over time and make any adjustments if needed. Patients often say this stage feels like getting their smile and confidence back.
Caring for Your New Smile
Our team is always here to answer questions, make adjustments, and ensure your comfort for years. To keep your dentures or partials in great shape, follow these easy care tips:
- Clean daily with a denture-specific brush and cleaner
- Soak them overnight in a dentist-approved solution
