What is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is a specialized field that addresses issues related to the restoration of damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. It encompasses a variety of procedures aimed at repairing and enhancing the function, structure, and appearance of your teeth. The goal is to restore oral health and functionality while improving your overall quality of life.
Restorative Treatments We Offer
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are a common restorative procedure used to repair teeth affected by cavities or decay. When a tooth decays, a portion of it becomes compromised and needs to be removed to prevent further damage or infection. Once the decayed part is cleaned out, the cavity is filled with a material that restores the tooth’s structure and function.
Dental Crowns
Crowns, also known as caps, are used to cover and protect teeth that are severely damaged or weakened. The crown encases the entire visible portion of the tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength, while also improving its appearance.
Dental Bridges
Bridges are fixed prosthetic devices designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They are anchored to the adjacent natural teeth (abutments) or dental implants. The replacement teeth (pontics) are securely held in place, restoring the function and appearance of the missing teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. The procedure involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a replacement root. Once the implant integrates with the bone (a process called osseointegration), it can support a crown, bridge, or denture.
Root Canals
A root canal is a procedure designed to treat infection or damage within the pulp of a tooth. The pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed, it needs to be removed to save the tooth.
Dentures
Dentures replace missing teeth and come in two types: partial dentures for a few missing teeth, and complete dentures for all teeth in an arch. Custom-made for a snug fit, they restore function and appearance, with options for adhesive or implant support.
