Here are the different types of restorative treatments available and their benefits.
Fillings are a standard restorative treatment to repair teeth damaged by tooth decay or minor fractures. The procedure involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling it with a material such as amalgam, composite resin, or glass ionomer cement. Composite resin fillings are tooth-colored and offer a more natural appearance. Glass ionomer fillings, made from a mixture of glass and acrylic, can release fluoride to help prevent tooth decay.
We can use dental crowns to cover damaged or weakened teeth that we cannot restore with fillings. They are custom-made caps placed over the entire tooth surface, providing strength, protection, and an improved appearance. We can make crowns from different materials such as metal alloys, porcelain fused to metal, or all-ceramic for a more natural look. They can also be used in conjunction with dental implants to replace missing teeth.
Bridges are fixed restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth called pontics, held in place by dental crowns attached to adjacent teeth. Bridges not only restore the appearance of your smile but also help maintain proper tooth alignment and prevent other dental issues.
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a replacement root for a missing tooth. Once healed, an artificial tooth (crown) is attached to the implant, providing a permanent and natural-looking solution. Implants offer many benefits, such as improved speech, easier chewing, and biting, and help prevent bone loss in the jaw. They also have a high success rate and can last many years with proper care.
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. There are two types: partial dentures, which replace a few missing teeth, and complete dentures, which replace all upper or lower teeth.
Thanks to advancements in materials and techniques, today's dentures are more natural-looking and comfortable than ever before. However, they may not be as stable or functional as other restorative options, such as dental implants.
Restoring damaged or missing teeth improves your smile and helps maintain your mouth’s health. When left untreated, tooth decay and missing teeth can lead to more serious dental issues such as gum disease, jawbone loss, and shifting of surrounding teeth.
By addressing these problems with restorative dentistry, you can prevent further damage and improve oral health.
One of the most significant benefits of restorative dentistry is that it can significantly improve the appearance of your smile. Whether it’s a chipped tooth, a gap, or missing teeth, restorative treatments can help you achieve a more confident and attractive smile.
Damaged or missing teeth can affect your ability to chew, speak, and smile comfortably. With restorative dentistry, you can regain the functionality of your mouth and enjoy all your favorite foods again without discomfort or embarrassment.
