How Many Types of Dental Treatment Are There?
By Dr. Eastwood – Summerbrook Dental & Implants, Fort Worth, TX
Many patients ask, “How many types of dental treatment are there?” Dentistry includes several categories of care that work together to keep your mouth healthy. At Summerbrook Dental & Implants, I offer treatments that focus on prevention, restoration, cosmetics, and replacement of missing teeth.
Preventive treatments help stop problems before they start. This includes regular cleanings, exams, fluoride treatments, and sealants. These visits are the foundation of good oral health.
Restorative treatments repair damaged or decayed teeth. Fillings, crowns, and root canals all fall into this category. If a tooth can be saved, restorative dentistry helps make it strong again.
Cosmetic treatments improve how your smile looks. These include whitening, bonding, and veneers. Even small changes can make a big difference in confidence.
Finally, tooth replacement treatments restore missing teeth. This includes bridges, dentures, and dental implants. Implants are the most advanced option, and I use zero bone loss principles and custom healing abutments to make them last for decades.
At Summerbrook Dental & Implants, we also perform oral surgeries, including bone grafting, sinus lifts, and full mouth implant restorations. This means you can receive almost every type of dental treatment in one office—without referrals or extra travel.
My office is also a no judgment zone. Whether it’s been years since your last cleaning or you need a full-mouth restoration, my role is to guide—not lecture.
So, how many types of dental treatment are there? In short—many—but they all serve one purpose: to protect and restore your oral health. Schedule a consultation at Summerbrook Dental & Implants in Fort Worth to find out which treatment is right for you.
