About Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is the branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating oral diseases, as well as restoring the function and aesthetics of teeth. It combines modern techniques and materials to repair damaged or missing teeth, improving both oral health and quality of life. Our restorative dentists use advanced materials and techniques to provide durable, natural-looking restorations that restore both function and appearance.

Types of Restorative Procedures

We offer comprehensive restorative dental procedures:

  • Dental fillings for cavities: Tooth-colored composite fillings or amalgam fillings to restore teeth damaged by decay, preventing further deterioration and restoring function.
  • Dental crowns and bridges: Custom-made caps and fixed prostheses to restore severely damaged or missing teeth, providing strength, protection, and natural appearance.
  • Inlays and onlays: Conservative restorations that repair damaged teeth while preserving more natural tooth structure than traditional fillings.
  • Root canal therapy: Treatment to save infected or damaged teeth by removing infected pulp, cleaning the root canal, and sealing it to prevent further infection.
  • Full and partial dentures: Removable prostheses to replace missing teeth, restoring chewing function and facial appearance.
  • Dental implants for missing teeth: Permanent tooth replacement solutions that restore both the root and crown of missing teeth for optimal function and aesthetics.

Goals of Restorative Dentistry

Our restorative dentistry services aim to:

  • Restore normal chewing and speaking function: Repairing damaged or replacing missing teeth to restore proper oral function and comfort.
  • Repair or replace damaged or missing teeth: Using durable materials and advanced techniques to restore teeth to optimal condition.
  • Prevent further dental decay or damage: Treating existing problems and protecting teeth from future issues through proper restoration.
  • Enhance aesthetic appearance and self-confidence: Creating natural-looking restorations that improve smile appearance and boost confidence.
  • Provide long-lasting and safe oral care solutions: Using high-quality materials and proven techniques for durable, safe restorations.

Patient Considerations

Restorative dentistry requires a careful evaluation of oral health, patient needs, and overall treatment goals. Dentists design personalized treatment plans using durable materials and modern techniques for optimal function and appearance. Our team conducts comprehensive assessments including evaluation of oral health and existing dental work, assessment of damage or decay extent, discussion of treatment options and materials, review of medical history and medications, and development of personalized treatment plans. We consider factors such as durability, aesthetics, cost, and patient preferences when recommending restorative options.

Common Procedures

Dental Fillings

Tooth-colored composite or amalgam fillings to restore teeth damaged by decay, preventing further deterioration and restoring natural appearance and function.

Dental Crowns

Custom-made caps that completely cover damaged or weakened teeth, providing strength, protection, and natural appearance for long-lasting restoration.

Dental Bridges

Fixed prostheses that replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth, restoring function and preventing shifting of remaining teeth.

Inlays and Onlays

Conservative indirect restorations that repair damaged teeth while preserving more natural tooth structure than traditional fillings, providing durable and aesthetic results.

Root Canal Therapy

Treatment to save infected or damaged teeth by removing infected pulp, cleaning and sealing the root canal, and restoring the tooth with a crown.

Dental Implants

Permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium implants that fuse with the jawbone, providing stable support for crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Dentures

Removable prostheses (full or partial) to replace missing teeth, restoring chewing function, facial appearance, and speech for patients with multiple missing teeth.

Tooth Repair and Reconstruction

Comprehensive repair of cracked, chipped, or fractured teeth using various restorative techniques to restore function and prevent further damage.

Recovery and Care

  • Most restorative procedures have minimal recovery time, with patients able to return to normal activities immediately or within 24 hours.
  • Fillings typically require no recovery time, with normal function restored immediately after the procedure.
  • Crown and bridge procedures may require 1-2 weeks for final placement after initial preparation, with temporary restorations in place.
  • Root canal therapy may cause mild discomfort for a few days, manageable with over-the-counter pain medications.
  • Dental implants require 3-6 months of healing for osseointegration before final restoration placement.

Tips & Info

1

Address Dental Issues Early: Prompt treatment of cavities, cracked teeth, or tooth loss prevents more extensive dental problems. Early intervention is more conservative and cost-effective.

2

Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush twice daily, floss, and use mouthwash to protect restorations and prevent decay. Good oral hygiene extends the life of restorations and prevents new problems.

3

Regular Dental Check-Ups: Routine visits allow your dentist to monitor restorations and detect issues early. Regular check-ups help maintain oral health and catch problems before they worsen.

4

Follow Post-Treatment Instructions: Proper care after procedures like crowns, implants, or root canals ensures longevity and success. Your dentist will provide specific care instructions for your restoration.

5

Healthy Lifestyle Supports Oral Health: Limit sugary foods, avoid smoking, and maintain a balanced diet to protect your teeth and restorations. Lifestyle factors significantly impact oral health and restoration longevity.
