Restorative dentistry involves any dental process or procedure that repairs or restores damaged teeth. Some common restorative dental procedures include fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, root canals, and dentures. Restorative procedures are not primarily cosmetic, but they can improve the overall look of your teeth and smile. These restorative dental procedures have several benefits, making them common with many of our patients. Benefits include:

  • Eliminating pain and discomfort: Restorative dentistry is used to treat cavities, tooth infections, and decay that cause toothaches and discomfort for patients. When dentists perform root canals and fillings to fix these issues, patients gain relief from that tooth and mouth pain they were experiencing.
  • Improving and restoring functionality: When you have cracked or damaged teeth, it can be hard to chew food or speak normally. Dental restorations such as bridges, implants, or dentures fix the issues with your teeth that are making it difficult for you to function as you usually would. The procedure will allow your previously damaged tooth to be durable and withstand pressure and regular mouth functions.
  • Enhancing appearance: Although the primary goal of restorative dental procedures is not to improve the look of your teeth, they can make you more confident in your smile. Missing and cracked teeth can diminish the look of your smile, and when their functionality is fixed, the restoration will blend in with the look of the rest of your teeth and look natural.
  • Preventing further issues: Correcting a dental problem as soon as it is detected will prevent it from getting worse or causing additional dental and health issues. Ignoring a cavity for too long can lead to a more complicated procedure such as a root canal or an extraction. Your overall health is also linked to your oral health, so it is crucial to stay on top of your dental hygiene to keep your whole body healthy.
