Restorative services involve replacing missing teeth or repair missing parts of the tooth structure. Restorative services include filling, crown, bridge, implant, root canal treatment, bridges
Crowns are a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, appearance, to hold a bridge in place or cover a dental implant.
Bridges are designed to "bridge" the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Bridges can be anchored on either side by crowns and cemented permanently into place.
Implants are replacement tooth roots. Implants are actually a small post made of metal that are placed into the bone socket where teeth are missing. The implant is covered with a replacement tooth called a crown.
Root canal treatment: Damages tooth can be saved by this treatment to restore form, function, esthetics.
Dentures are a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are made of acrylic resin sometimes combined with metal attachments. Complete dentures replace all the teeth; partial dentures are considered when some natural teeth remain and are retained by metal clasps attached to the natural teeth
We will diagnose your oral health condition during a routine visit using visual, mechanical and radiographic techniques to analyze your teeth's surfaces. Some restorative dentistry treatment is minimally invasive and can be performed by your dentist in one appointment. More complex dental treatment may require multiple dental visits. Certain dental procedures require great attention.
There are four primary types of dental materials used to restore teeth: porcelain, dental amalgam, composite resin and gold. Composite resin include ceramic or plastic compounds that can be used with other materials like glass ionomers. There are also other precious and non-precious metals similar to gold, and almost as durable. In addition, talk to your dentist about the presence of mercury, which, although harmless in most restorations, some practices prefer not to use.
Remember that bacterial plaque can form around dental restorations and contribute to the recurrence or progression of a problem. Conditions like tooth decay or periodontal (gum) disease can be prevented by controlling this plaque, the primary cause of these types of infections.Plaque and tartar control through a consistent oral hygiene regimen involves brushing at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, and fluoride toothpaste. In addition to daily floss, mouthwashes are also effective in strengthening your tooth's surfaces
