Restorative Dentistry FAQs
Restorative dentistry can return your smile to full function. Learn more.
How is restorative dentistry different from cosmetic dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on fixing dental problems like decay, fractures, and missing teeth to improve oral health. Cosmetic dentistry, on the other hand, is mainly about enhancing the appearance of a smile through treatments like teeth whitening and veneers. While restorative treatments can improve appearance, their primary goal is to restore function. Some procedures, like crowns and implants, offer restorative and cosmetic benefits.
Can restorative dentistry fix broken teeth?
Yes, restorative dentistry offers several solutions for broken teeth, including crowns, bonding, and veneers. Crowns cover and protect severely broken teeth while bonding repairs minor chips. Veneers improve the appearance of slightly damaged teeth. Your dentist will recommend the best treatment based on the severity of the break.
Do restorative procedures hurt?
Most restorative procedures involve minimal pain because we use local anesthesia to numb the area. Patients may feel some pressure or mild discomfort during the procedure, but it is usually minimal. After treatment, there may be slight soreness, which fades within a few days. Sedation options are also available for patients with dental anxiety.
What happens if I don’t repair a damaged tooth?
If a damaged tooth is left untreated, it can worsen over time, leading to pain, infection, or even tooth loss. A small cavity can become a deep infection, requiring a root canal or extraction. A cracked tooth may break further, making restoration more complex. Early treatment prevents complications and helps preserve your natural teeth.
Are there any risks associated with restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is generally safe, but like any procedure, there are some risks. Possible complications include tooth sensitivity, infection, or allergic reactions to materials. In rare cases, restorations like crowns or fillings may become loose or fail over time. We will take precautions to minimize risks and ensure long-lasting results.
Can restorative dentistry help with speech problems?
Yes, missing or damaged teeth can affect speech, making it difficult to pronounce certain words. Restorative treatments like dentures, bridges, and implants fill gaps, improving speech clarity. Properly aligned teeth also help with tongue placement and pronunciation. Restoring your teeth can make a significant difference if you have difficulty speaking due to dental issues.
