What Are Restorative Treatments?
If you have a tooth with holes and stains from cavities, you may be in need of restorative treatments!
Restorative dentistry is an area of focus on repairing or replacing teeth! It offers many treatments to patch teeth back to health and function.
Teeth are often damaged from bacteria in plaque. This is because the bacteria eats the starch and sugar in food leftovers and releases acid on teeth enamel.
Over time, this can lead to tooth pain! The acid can badly eat away the enamel of your teeth. When this happen, restorative treatments are needed to stop the damage from worsening.
What Are Common Treatments for Restorative Dentistry?
There are many treatments to help restore the health of your teeth! They all help stop further decay and also return the function of your full teeth and mouth.
Missing Teeth
What separates restorative dentistry from cosmetic dentistry is that it focuses on improving both the oral health and function of the teeth – especially missing teeth!
- Dental implants restore the function of teeth roots that are lost from whole tooth decay!
- Replacing a row of missing teeth is commonly treated with a dental bridge.
- Traditional teeth replacement, dentures, can replace an entire arch of teeth!
Cavities
Different stages of surface cavities will decay a different amount of the enamel on the tooth. That means that treatments for every patient and every tooth is different.
- Dental Crowns are best to repair large cavities or restore broken teeth!
- Medium-size, complicated decay? That’s where Inlays and Onlays come in!
- Tooth-colored Fillings are perfect to patch up small cavities!
Infection
Special treatments are needed when the cavity goes deep. This can happen when the decay or crack penetrates the surface to reach the pulp inside the tooth… causing immense pain and infection!
- Root Canal Therapy removes the diseased pulp and cleans the infection!
- When a tooth can’t be saved, a tooth extraction stops further infection!
You might be wondering why restorative dentistry? It’s important because the treatments can give you a longer lasting oral health.
It’s very important to stop infections and restore the function of your mouth – so that you can eat and talk like normal!
