What Is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is characterized by the prevention and treatment of diseases of the teeth in order to restore or bring them back to their best health. Restorative dentistry also includes the repair or replacement of damaged or missing teeth.
What Are Your Restorative Dentistry Options?
- Dental Implants: Dental implants can fully replace missing teeth and tooth roots with tiny biocompatible titanium posts. Dental implants are permanent and can be cared for just like natural teeth. Dental implant surgery is an alternative to dentures and bridgework.
- Dental Crowns and Bridges: Teeth that have a lot of decay or fractures, or have undergone root canal therapy, may require a dental crown in order to restore the full form and function of the remaining tooth structure. Dental crowns also are used when a very deep cavity has rendered a tooth vulnerable to further decay. A fixed dental bridge can be used along with a dental crown to restore more than one tooth. The dental crowns are cemented into place by the dental bridge and the surrounding healthy teeth.
- Dental Partials and Dentures: Complete dentures are used when an entire row of teeth are missing, where as partial dentures are used when some natural teeth still remain. Removable partial dentures consist of replacement teeth attached to gum-colored plastic bases along with a metal framework that clasps around your remaining teeth.
- Tooth Colored Composite Fillings: A dental filling is used to fill in an area of a tooth that has been removed due to decay. Cavities that require a dental filling are usually rather shallow. To fill a cavity, Dr. Cohlmia will begin by using a special dental drill to clean out the decayed area of the tooth. The decay is then removed and the tooth is cleaned. Tooth colored composite material is then bonded to the tooth to replace its natural form, color, and functioning.
