Common Questions About Restorative Dentistry
What does restorative dentistry include?
Restorative dentistry includes services that rebuild your ailing smile. These services are designed to repair and replace damaged and missing teeth. Treatments include fillings, root canals, dental crowns, dental bridges, dentures, and dental implants. Your dental team uses restorative dentistry to renew any type of damaged smile.
How much does restorative dentistry cost?
There is no way to give you a cost estimate for your restorative dental care without knowing the type of treatment you need. Restorative dentistry covers a wide range of treatments, and costs vary widely. Once your dentist examines your teeth and mouth and works up a treatment plan, we can provide you with an accurate estimate to repair your smile.
Does getting a root canal hurt?
Despite its reputation, getting a root canal doesn't hurt as much as you might think. We will numb the area to ensure the only thing you feel is pressure while we fix your tooth. We also offer several sedation options so you don't feel a thing. There might be some discomfort after the procedure, but we will give you after care instructions to make sure you don't feel much pain at home either.
What does restorative dentistry fix?
Restorative dentistry repairs and replaces damaged or missing teeth to bring your smile back to full function and appearance. Common concerns it addresses include cavities, chips, cracks, breaks, infection, and tooth loss. Treatment options range from simple fillings to full tooth replacement with dental implants, depending on the extent of the damage.
What is CEREC same-day crown technology?
CEREC is a digital system that designs and mills a custom crown right in the dental office during a single appointment. It eliminates the need for traditional impressions, temporary crowns, and a second visit. You leave the same day with a fully placed, custom-fitted crown that is designed to match your natural teeth.
What is the difference between a dental crown and a dental bridge?
A dental crown caps a single damaged tooth to protect and strengthen it. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth between two crowns placed on the neighboring teeth. Crowns restore existing teeth, while bridges fill gaps left by teeth that are no longer there.
How long do restorative dental treatments last?
Longevity for restorative dentistry varies by treatment. Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, and bridges typically last five to seven years or longer with proper care. Dental implants are designed to last decades and can potentially last a lifetime with good oral hygiene. Regular dental exams help monitor restorations and catch any issues early.
What are my options for replacing missing teeth?
Missing teeth can be replaced with a dental bridge, dentures, or dental implants. Bridges anchor to neighboring teeth and fill gaps left by a single tooth or multiple teeth. Dentures replace several or all teeth and can be full or partial. Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone and support crowns, bridges, or dentures for stable, long-lasting teeth replacement.
