Restorative Dentistry

What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on restoring the function and aesthetics of teeth that have been damaged, decayed, or lost. It can involve a range of treatments, from dental fillings and crowns to dentures and dental implants. The goal of restorative dentistry is to help patients regain their ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence, while also improving their overall oral health.

Dental Implants

Dental implants consist of a titanium post that’s surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to create a strong foundation for a replacement tooth. The replacement tooth, or crown, is then attached to the post, creating a permanent and stable restoration. Implants are one of the most popular restorative dentistry treatments, as they provide a long-lasting and natural-looking solution for missing teeth.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges replace multiple teeth missing in a row. A bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, or pontics, anchored to the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants. The bridge can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or metal, and is designed to blend in seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.

Dentures

Dentures are removable appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth, or a full arch of teeth. There are two main types of dentures: complete dentures, which replace all the teeth in the upper or lower arch, and partial dentures, which replace only some of the teeth. Dentures are made from acrylic or other materials and can be customized to fit comfortably and securely in the patient’s mouth.

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or injury. Fillings can be made from various materials, including composite resin, amalgam, and gold, and are designed to fill in the space left after the damaged portion of the tooth is removed. Dental fillings help restore tooth structure and function and prevent further decay or damage.

Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be repaired, or when there’s not enough room in the mouth for all the teeth. Extractions are performed on both primary and permanent teeth and are typically done under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. After the extraction, our dentist may recommend a restorative dentistry treatment, such as a dental implant or bridge, to replace the missing tooth and restore the patient’s smile and oral health.
