A healthy, radiant smile can be life-changing — it helps you communicate, enjoy your favorite foods, and express yourself confidently. Cavities, trauma, gum disease, or aging can affect the way your teeth look and function. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers powerful solutions. At Manu Dave Kacker DDS in Westlake Village, CA, we specialize in restorative dentistry to rebuild your smile from the foundation up — combining science, art, and compassion in every procedure.

What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry is the branch of dental care focused on repairing, restoring, or replacing damaged or missing teeth. Unlike cosmetic dentistry, which is primarily focused on appearance, restorative dentistry emphasizes function, structure, and long-term oral health — although the results often look just as stunning.

Whether you’ve lost a tooth to decay, broken one in an accident, or suffered years of wear and tear, restorative treatments can help you regain a fully functional and natural-looking smile.

Common Reasons You Might Need Restorative Dentistry

• Tooth decay or cavities
• Cracked or fractured teeth
• Missing teeth
• Worn-down or eroded enamel
• Failed dental work or old fillings
• Infection inside the tooth (requiring root canal therapy)

At Manu Dave Kacker DDS, we provide personalized restorative care plans tailored to the severity and nature of your dental condition.

Our Full Suite of Restorative Dentistry Services

1. Tooth-Colored Fillings: Gone are the days of silver fillings. We use advanced composite resins that are durable, mercury-free, and color-matched to your natural teeth. These fillings restore the structure of your tooth after decay while maintaining the beauty of your smile.

2. Dental Implants: Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement. A titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone, serving as a secure root for a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants are:

• Permanent and long-lasting
• Natural-looking and comfortable
• Great for preserving jawbone health

Dr. Kacker works closely with specialists to provide precision implant placement and custom restorations that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.

5. Root Canal Therapy: When decay or infection reaches the pulp of the tooth, a root canal can save the tooth from extraction. We gently remove the infected tissue, clean the root canals, and seal the tooth with a filling or crown. Our approach emphasizes comfort, precision, and long-term success.

6. Dentures and Partial Dentures: We offer modern, lightweight, and natural-looking full and partial dentures that restore your ability to speak, chew, and smile confidently. Each denture is custom-fitted for optimal function and comfort.

7. Full-Mouth Reconstruction: If you have multiple oral health concerns — such as missing teeth, advanced decay, worn-down enamel, or bite misalignment — we can design a comprehensive full-mouth restoration plan. This may combine several procedures like implants, crowns, bridges, and dentures to completely restore your oral health and function.
