What is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry is the practice of restoring the health and function of your teeth and mouth after having sustained tooth damage, tooth loss, or tooth decay. These procedures are designed to help improve oral health and function, and common dental restorations include bridges, crowns, and implants. The team at Stefan Family Dental has the experience and expertise to offer high-quality restorative dental treatments to enhance your oral health. 

Signs that you need a restorative dental treatment

You should consider restorative dentistry if you have the following: 

• Cracked, broken, or chipped teeth
• Chronic tooth pain
• Missing teeth
• Cavities
• Knocked-out teeth
• Extreme tooth sensitivity to hot & cold substances
• Misshapen teeth
• Worn-down teeth
• Sudden darkening of the teeth

What Restorative Dental Treatments are Offered at Stefan Family Dental?

Stefan Family Dental offers high-quality restorative treatments, including: 

Tooth-colored Fillings: Also known as composite fillings, tooth-colored fillings are white fillings placed in the natural tooth structure, which results in your tooth looking more natural than it would with the metal fillings most people are used to seeing. 

Dental Crowns: Dental crowns, also known as “caps,” are custom-made restorations that encase a damaged or weakened tooth. Whether you have a severely decayed tooth, a cracked enamel, or a tooth that has undergone a root canal, crowns offer protection and durability.  Crowns can last a lifetime if you properly care for them. 

Dental Bridges: If you are missing one or more adjacent teeth, dental bridges can be an excellent solution to restore your smile’s completeness. Bridges consist of artificial teeth anchored by crowns on adjacent healthy teeth. They provide stability, functionality, and an improved appearance, allowing you to regain your confidence and enjoy a fully restored smile.

Dental Implant Restorations: Dental implant restoration is comprised of two main components. First, an implant serves as an artificial root. Then, a restoration replaces the lost tooth. Though implants are often fitted with crowns, they can also be used as a base for other restorations, like bridges and dentures.

What Are the Benefits of Restorative Dentistry?

The benefits of healthy teeth go beyond physical looks. When teeth become damaged, the result can be significant health implications. There is a wide range of benefits for people of all ages within restorative dentistry. It can: 

• Restore oral health
• Eliminate dental pain
• Improve chewing function
• Improve the appearance of your smile
• Reduce the risk of dental issues in the future
