All dentists strive to keep their patients’ teeth and gums healthy, but not all dentists have the knowledge and skills needed to restore function and comfort to their patients’ smiles with restorative dentistry and beautify their patients’ smiles with cosmetic dentistry. South Austin dentist Dr. Steven Van Wicklen does both.
Defining Aesthetic and Prosthetic Dentistry
To do this, Dr. Van Wicklen uses aesthetic and prosthetic dentistry.
Aesthetic dentistry—more commonly referred to as cosmetic dentistry—pertains to the appearance of your smile. Prosthetic dentistry—often called restorative dentistry—involves the replacement of missing teeth and related mouth or jaw structures.
