Preserve
Restorative Care
What happens when prevention has not been enough and a tooth needs repair, choosing the option that keeps the most healthy tooth structure.
In Dr. Jenn's approach
Keep as much healthy tooth as possible
When a tooth needs help, the starting question is always which option keeps the most healthy tooth structure while reliably solving the problem. Minimally invasive, tooth-preserving treatment comes first wherever it is clinically appropriate.
