Restorative Dentistry

Dental practitioners use the word "restorative dentistry" to describe how they restore missing or damaged teeth. The aim is to restore your natural smile while also safeguarding it from any oral health issues in the future. Fillings, crowns ("caps"), bridges, and dental implants are just a few of the treatment options available.

Restorative dentistry has a plethora of advantages, and there are several reasons why tooth restoration is worth the effort and expense.

Restorative dentistry may help you maintain your teeth for the rest of your life. Minor operations may halt the progression of issues until a more complicated surgery is necessary, or the tooth becomes irreparable.

It may prevent tooth discomfort with frequent dental visits. Cavities and badly decaying teeth may be quite painful if left untreated, so it's critical to get them looked out early in a tooth's life.

If you need a tooth pulled, replacing it with a dental implant may help prevent jaw bone loss. Restorative operations may either preserve the tooth or replace it beyond repair.

Treatments that preserve or replace your teeth will maintain the natural appearance of your smile and boost your confidence.

The following are our most often performed treatments to address dental issues or replace lost or damaged teeth.

Cavities are the most often treated restorative treatment by dentists. If you develop a cavity, it may be filled with a composite substance to keep it from decaying or becoming infected. The majority of individuals will have a cavity filled over their lives.

It eradicates any current infection and protects the inner tooth pulp against infection in the future. The pulp is replaced with a purer material.

The prosthetic crown is glued on top, preserving the tooth root and allowing the tooth to operate normally. The outer tooth material is shaved off until just a little part remains during a crown process.

The dentist will cut down teeth on each side of the lost tooth to accommodate the crowns. These crowns placed over the existing teeth act as anchors for the bridge.

Restorative dentistry is a necessary component of routine dental treatment. By seeing your dentist regularly and caring for your teeth, you may certainly prevent dental issues and retain your teeth for life. However, if you have a tooth problem, you will want a dentist capable of performing any operation required to restore your oral health.
