Restorative Dentistry Urbandale

Dr. Jessica Lawson is a restorative dentist in Urbandale who performs restorative dentistry procedures every day. Many are non-invasive, require no medications, and can be done in one, two, or three visits. Did you know that a tooth extraction, which literally takes seconds, is considered restorative dentistry? Remember root canals in the 80’s that made people shudder in fright? Root canals are a restorative dentistry procedure that will have you in and out in no time and back to work feeling just fine.

Restorative dentistry may involve cosmetic procedures after your health has been deemed to be well enough to proceed to fixing the aesthetics of your smile. You can even go through our Trial Smile Design process that allows you to see and feel what your improvements will be before ever undergoing any treatment. Dr. Lawson believes in doing as little work as is necessary to give you the smile of your dreams and healthy, fully functioning teeth and gums.

You may need one of the above or several. Only after a comprehensive examination and gathering a thorough medical history will Dr. Lawson be able to discuss a treatment plan with you. Remember that integrative, wholistic dentistry must take into consideration your whole health, not just your oral health. You may have medical conditions that preclude you from certain procedures. We must get you healthy enough to tolerate restorative dentistry in Urbandale before ever beginning any treatment.

One of the most common restorative procedures Dr. Lawson performs is the same-day dental crown. With an array of advanced dental materials and technology, modern restorations are often crafted to address a specific area of your tooth while leaving the rest of the tooth relatively untouched.

Sometimes, however, the best approach is to completely shield the tooth so that it can remain in place without suffering further damage to its structure. Dental crowns may be one of the oldest forms of restorative dentistry, but today’s versions are also among the most highly customizable options.

Today, dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials to suit every patient’s unique needs and preferences. In some cases, Dr. Jessica Lawson can even craft a custom, same-day dental crown in just a single appointment using PlanScan E4D technology.

With so many advances in technique and technology, no two patients’ restorations will be alike. We are so excited to offer so many different options to restore full function to your mouth, teeth, and gums while improving the aesthetics of your smile you may have been missing out on for years or even decades.

Don’t let restorative dentistry scare you. Some of the procedures are quite simple and completely painless. Please call Lawson Dentistry at (515) 278-4366 today to schedule an appointment, or fill out our online contact form.
