Restorative dentistry is essential for maintaining oral health and restoring the function and aesthetics of your smile. Whether you're dealing with a simple cavity or need a full-mouth reconstruction, restorative dentistry offers a range of solutions to repair damaged teeth, replace missing ones, and improve your overall dental health. At SmileOn Dentistry, we offer comprehensive restorative treatments tailored to meet the unique needs of every patient.

What is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing oral health issues to restore the proper function and appearance of your teeth. It encompasses a variety of procedures that repair or replace damaged or missing teeth, ensuring that you can eat, speak, and smile confidently.
 

Fillings

Fillings are one of the most common restorative procedures used to treat cavities. When tooth decay creates small holes in your teeth, fillings are used to fill and seal the damaged area, preventing further decay. Modern fillings are often made from tooth-colored materials like composite resin, ensuring that the restored tooth blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
 

Crowns

Crowns, or caps, are used to restore teeth that are severely decayed, cracked, or damaged. A crown covers the entire tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength while protecting it from further damage. Crowns are custom-made to match your natural teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits.
 

Bridges

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored by crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth. Bridges help restore your ability to chew and speak, prevent the remaining teeth from shifting, and maintain the natural contour of your face.
 

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a replacement root. Once healed, a custom-made crown is attached to the post, providing a durable and natural-looking tooth replacement. Implants are highly popular because they mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth.
 

Full-Mouth Reconstruction

Full-mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses extensive dental problems, such as multiple missing teeth, severe decay, or worn-down teeth due to grinding (bruxism). It often combines several restorative procedures, including crowns, bridges, implants, and sometimes orthodontic treatment. This approach can dramatically improve both the function and appearance of your teeth, restoring your smile and boosting your confidence.
 

Benefits of Restorative Dentistry

• Improved Function: Restorative dentistry allows you to eat, speak, and chew properly by repairing or replacing damaged teeth.
   

• Enhanced Aesthetics: Many restorative treatments, such as crowns, implants, and dentures, are designed to look natural, blending seamlessly with your existing teeth.
   

• Prevention of Further Damage: By addressing dental issues early, you can prevent further damage and avoid more extensive treatments in the future.
   

• Boosted Confidence: A restored smile can significantly enhance your self-esteem and help you feel more confident in both personal and professional interactions.
   

When Should You Consider Restorative Dentistry?

If you're experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or difficulty chewing, or if you have damaged or missing teeth, it's time to consult with your dentist about restorative options. The earlier dental issues are addressed, the less invasive and costly the treatment will be.
