Frequently Asked Questions
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry encompasses various dental treatments aimed at restoring the integrity, function and appearance of the teeth and gums. It includes procedures for repairing and replacing damaged or lost teeth, addressing dental health issue, and improving overall oral aesthetics.
Why should I receive restorative dentistry instead of having the tooth pulled?
Opting for restorative dentistry over tooth extraction can be beneficial for several reasons:
- Preservation of Natural Teeth: Keeping your natural teeth helps maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth and prevents them from shifting, which could lead to bite and jaw problems.
- Aesthetics and Functionality: Restored teeth can look and function like natural teeth, aiding in chewing, speaking and maintaining a natural appearance.
- Bone Preservation: Procedures like dental implants can help preserve the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that often occurs after tooth extraction.
What are my options for replacing missing teeth?
There are several options for replacing missing teeth, including:
- Dental Implants: These prosthetic teeth consist of posts surgically implanted into the jawbone, topped with a restoration such as a crown, bridge or denture to provide a durable and natural-looking replacement.
- Bridges: This option literally “bridges” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more prosthetic teeth anchored by implants or by crowns on the adjacent teeth.
- Dentures: These are removable appliances that can replace a few missing teeth (partial dentures) or all the teeth in an arch (complete dentures).
What are my options for restoring damaged teeth?
Options for restoring damaged teeth include:
- Fillings: Used to repair minor fractures and decay, restoring the tooth’s shape and function.
- Crowns: Caps placed over damaged teeth to restore their shape, size, strength and appearance.
- Veneers: Thin shells of porcelain or composite material placed over the front of teeth to improve aesthetics.
- Root Canal Therapy: A procedure to treat infected or severely damaged teeth, preserving them instead of extracting.
Is restorative dentistry an option for children?
Yes! Children may need restorative treatments due to cavities, injury or other factors. Our dentists will evaluate your child’s teeth to determine the right treatment for them.
Is restorative dentistry covered by insurance?
Coverage for restorative dentistry varies by insurance policy. Many insurance plans cover at least a portion of restorative procedures, such as fillings, crowns and bridges, recognizing them as necessary for maintaining oral health. However, some treatments, especially those considered cosmetic, may not be fully covered. Please check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage details, including any deductibles, copayments and maximum limits.
