Dr. Azarbal uses a conservative approach to imitate ideal natural dentition in form, function, and aesthetics using appropriate design and material. When restoring teeth it is important to try to conserve the areas that provide the core structural strength. If that is not possible, then the natural design is imitated using the correct materials with an understanding of how forces act on them. It is therefore extremely important to understand natural morphology and properties, how dental materials and design correlate to them, and how to do it in an aesthetically beautiful manner (as different types of composites and porcelain can have significantly different properties).

Cosmetic and restorative work is particularly satisfying to Dr. Azarbal. He really enjoys restoring and bringing the dentition and the mouth back to healthboth aesthetically and in functionand maintaining it there.

The technology that Dr. Azarbal has at hand enables him to provide you with customized restorations that look completely natural.

When you decide that you want to transform your smile, Dr. Azarbal will listen as you describe the details of what you want.
