At the Plano Dentist, our mission is to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime. One of the key ways we do this is through restorative dentistry—a branch of dentistry focused on repairing and replacing damaged or missing teeth. Whether you’re dealing with a cavity, a chipped tooth, or even multiple missing teeth, restorative dentistry offers solutions to restore your smile’s function and aesthetics.
What is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry encompasses a wide range of procedures designed to fix dental problems and bring your teeth back to optimal health. Unlike preventive care, which focuses on avoiding dental issues, restorative dentistry comes into play when a problem already exists. The goal is to restore the natural look and function of your teeth so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Common Restorative Procedures
- Fillings: One of the most common restorative treatments, fillings are used to treat cavities and prevent further decay. We use high-quality materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Crowns: If a tooth is severely damaged or weakened, a crown may be necessary. Crowns are custom-made caps that cover the entire tooth, providing strength and protection while restoring its shape and appearance.
- Bridges: For patients missing one or more teeth, bridges offer a reliable solution. A bridge is a set of false teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth or implants, filling the gap and restoring your bite.
- Dental Implants: Considered the gold standard for tooth replacement, dental implants are permanent solutions that mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth. They involve a titanium post inserted into the jawbone, topped with a custom crown.
- Dentures: For those missing multiple teeth, dentures can provide an effective and affordable replacement option. Today’s dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before.
Why Choose Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is not just about fixing what’s broken; it’s about improving your overall oral health and quality of life. Missing or damaged teeth can lead to a range of issues, including difficulty chewing, speech problems, and even changes in facial structure. By addressing these issues, restorative dentistry helps you maintain proper oral function and prevents further complications.
