Restorative rehabilitative dentistry focuses on rebuilding and restoring smiles that have been affected by decay, trauma, or long-term wear. At York House Dental Practice in West Byfleet, Surrey, customised treatment plans are designed to repair both function and appearance.
This type of dentistry goes beyond a single filling or crown. It’s about restoring teeth, gums, and bite together—so you can chew, speak, and smile with confidence again.
