Restorative Dentistry Procedures at Dr. Rice DDS

Benefits of Restorative Dentistry
Dr. Rice’s goal is to restore comfort, ability to chew foods, and even self-image and social confidence! Restoring your smile can help with all these things, as well as many other benefits.
Increased Confidence
An attractive smile is often the first feature that people will notice about you. A survey conducted by The American Dental Association in 2015 shows that 16 percent of people in Illinois avoid smiling because they feel embarrassed by the condition of their teeth. If you are one of those people, we can help!
Just think: with a new smile you can feel less anxiety and stress about going out to dinner with friends and family.
Restorative dentistry with Dr. David Rice DDS can also improve your social confidence. In a world filled with constant social interactions, we can provide you with the satisfaction of exhibiting a healthier lifestyle to others.
Improved Success in Work and School
Your professional reliability can be impacted by the quality of your teeth. Research has shown that potential job candidates are more likely perceived to be trustworthy. You also stand out to employers if your teeth are in good shape.
The modern restorative services that we offer can help you be more willing to share your smile, which may, in turn, increase your confidence and productivity in the workforce. Increased success in your social life is also possible with a healthy, vibrant smile!
Natural Feel and Function
Any replacement for missing teeth must feel like natural teeth and be easy to clean. Especially if you need larger scale restorative dentistry, it is important that your teeth are stable while eating, allow you to speak properly, and eliminate the bulkiness and sore gums sometimes associated with dentures.
With a full mouth reconstruction, one possibility is implant-supported dentures. When anchored by teeth implants, most if not all of the issues associated with typical dentures are eliminated so you can eat, talk and smile with confidence.
Beautiful Appearance
Besides good function, the ideal results of restorative dentistry must look like natural teeth—both to you and others. We offer a variety of products created to mimic and improve your original teeth.
This is one reason we’ll recommend porcelain teeth crowns rather than metal crowns, particularly for visible front teeth. Porcelain teeth crowns will look like your natural teeth in color, texture, and shine to blend in nicely with your smile
Enhanced Security
Our goal is to take care of your teeth, so that your teeth can take care of you. We use only the best tools here at our St. Charles and Bartlett, IL, area office. This means, you won’t have to worry about your dental crowns chipping or your dentures slipping out of place.
The long term safety of replacing your teeth with Dr. Rice is well established, and he will discuss a treatment plan designed just for you.
“I went to Dr. Rice with a broken tooth. I was greeted by a very friendly staff, which immediately put me at ease. Dr. Rice explained all my repair/replace options, including pricing, & answered all my questions to my satisfaction. Needless to say, I feel very comfortable with Dr. Rice & I will continue to be a client.”
Birdie W. – Patient of David A. Rice, DDS
When Would I Need Restorative Dentistry?
Dental concerns are more than just an inconvenient hassle. Untreated issues can eventually cause gum disease, or more serious permanent damage.

- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth.
- A missing tooth or multiple missing teeth.
- Gaps between teeth.
- Weakened or decayed teeth.
- Severe gum disease.
- Misshapen, undersized, or oversized teeth.
