Many dental conditions damage the tooth causing aesthetic and functional changes that require special treatment. Restorative treatments can repair or replace teeth depending on the extent of their damage. Restorative procedures include:
Many people seek cosmetic dental care after certain dental conditions or because of dissatisfaction with the appearance of their teeth. These procedures can improve the color, shape and size of the teeth and enhance the overall smile. Cosmetic dental treatments often improve self-confidence. Some of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments may include:
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is a common dental condition that plagues many patients. Gum disease can be managed through treatments such as scaling and root planing, which can be performed by a general dentist. Surgery and other advanced treatments may be performed for later stages of the disease.
While there are specialists for many of these dental treatments, a general dentist is able to perform most of these procedures. Complicated issues may be referred to a specialist such as a periodontist or prosthodontist, while age-specific patients may benefit from seeing a pediatric or geriatric dentist.
Regular visits to the dentist are recommended at least once every six months in order to maintain proper oral hygiene and screen for any potential problems. Receiving regular checkups can help improve dental health and prevent major problems from developing. It is important for patients to work with their dentist to maintain their oral health. General dentists care for most patients' dental needs regardless of their age or treatment. These dental treatments restore health and beauty to the smile.
Cosmetic dentistry encompasses not only the health of the teeth, but also their aesthetic value. Various products and procedures exist within cosmetic dentistry with the goal of improving both the well-being and visual beauty of the teeth, giving the individual a higher level of self-confidence. Dr. Markiewicz is an active member of American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and Los Angeles Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
Tooth bleaching, also known as tooth whitening, has become so advanced and widespread that certain dental companies have marketed their own form of at-home tooth whitening products. While there is some merit to these home bleaching kits, there is nothing that compares to having a professional, nationally board-certified dentist perform this procedure on your teeth. When performed by a professional, the entire whitening process is abbreviated and can be completed in only a few short visits, compared to weeks of at-home treatment.
Porcelain and composite veneers are effective aesthetic cover-ups for damaged or stained teeth. Although some veneers are designed to be removable, most are permanent and are bonded very tightly to the teeth they are protecting. Advancements in technology have improved the bonding agents to the extent that it is quite common for veneers to remain functional for 10 years or more.
Cavities are painful and unsightly holes in the teeth that must be filled with inert material. Contemporary fillings, called dental composite resin, are much closer in hue to the natural color of teeth. This allows the tooth to be protected but still look untouched.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth replacement designed to fill the void created by a missing tooth. There are many types of dental implants, ranging from individual crowns to large scale dentures. A cosmetic dentist can ensure that not only will the most comfortable replacement be found, but it will be implanted in the most accurate and aesthetic manner possible.
There are numerous options available to improve the overall health and appearance of the teeth and smile. Patients should consult with their dentists to decide which option best suits their specific needs and will most effectively meet their expectations.

Dr. Christina Markiewicz listened, and she used her expertise and responded. Her experience in the field may not cover decades, but her knowledge is fresh, current, and superiorly adept. She is , by far, one of the best dentists I've had, and I trust her implicitly. I am beyond impressed with her professional skills as well as her "bedside" manner. I honestly couldn't recommend a better dentist. (And I'm not related to her, she didn't pay me to say this, and I am generally a tough critic.)

Wonderful experience beginning at the front desk with efficient and friendly staff. Every appointment is verified via text and reminders are sent. Dr Markiewicz is not only knowledgeable, professional, and approachable, she loves her work and it shows in every detail. I actually enjoy going to the dentist now that I'm associating with Dr Markiewicz and Newbury Park Dental Arts, They are fantastic!

Recently had 2 crowns replaced at NP Dental Arts, and Dr. Markiewicz and her staff made the experience as comfortable and pain free as these procedures could have possibly been. I even got to listen to my own playlist on Spotify during the process! Besides doing wonderful work, Dr. M is compassionate, funny and extremely likable. Hygienist Brenda is also a gem!
