Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and restoring the function and aesthetics of damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. These treatments not only improve oral health but also contribute to better speech, chewing efficiency, and overall confidence.
Common Restorative Treatments:
Dental Fillings: Used to repair cavities and minor tooth damage, fillings restore the strength and appearance of a tooth. Tooth-colored composite fillings blend seamlessly with natural teeth for an aesthetically pleasing result.
Crowns: Dental crowns are custom-fitted caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their strength, function, and appearance. Crowns protect teeth from further damage and are commonly used after root canal therapy.
Bridges: A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent natural teeth or implants. Bridges help restore bite alignment and prevent teeth from shifting.
Dental Implants: A permanent solution for missing teeth, implants involve surgically placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial root. A custom crown is then placed on top to restore function and aesthetics.
Benefits of Restorative Dentistry:
Restores Chewing and Speaking Function: Damaged or missing teeth can make it difficult to chew food properly or speak clearly. Restorative treatments improve these functions.
Prevents Further Dental Damage: Addressing dental issues early prevents minor problems from developing into more serious conditions, such as infections or additional tooth loss.
Enhances Smile Aesthetics: Restorative treatments improve the appearance of teeth, boosting self-confidence and overall quality of life.
