What is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on repairing damaged teeth and restoring oral function. It involves a variety of treatments to address issues such as tooth decay, missing teeth, and gum disease.
Candidacy for Restorative Dentistry Treatments
Most people can benefit from restorative dentistry. However, specific candidacy may vary depending on the individual’s oral health and treatment needs. Here are some common scenarios where restorative dentistry can be beneficial:
- Tooth Decay: If you have cavities or other forms of tooth decay, restorative treatments like fillings or crowns can repair the damage and prevent further issues.
- Missing Teeth: Missing teeth can impact your ability to eat, speak, and maintain oral health. Dental implants, bridges, or dentures can replace missing teeth and restore function and aesthetics.
- Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Dental bonding or crowns can repair the damage and protect the tooth if you have chipped or cracked teeth.
- Gum Disease: Periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and other health problems. Restorative dentistry can help treat gum disease and prevent further damage.
- Worn-Down Teeth: Over time, teeth can wear down due to factors like grinding or clenching. Restorative treatments can help restore the shape and function of worn-down teeth.
Our Restorative Dentistry Procedures
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a state-of-the-art solution for replacing missing teeth or one missing tooth. They offer a durable, natural-looking, and long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures and bridges. Dr. Lorinc has extensive experience in placing dental implants and restoring your smile, and we offer a variety of dental implant treatments.
Dentures and Partials
Dentures and partial dentures are removable dental restorations designed to replace missing natural teeth. Dentures replace all the teeth in an arch, while partials replace only some. These appliances can significantly improve your ability to eat, speak, and smile.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often used to protect a weak tooth, to repair a cracked tooth, or to cover a dental implant.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth fused to crowns cemented onto adjacent teeth. Bridges can improve your ability to chew, speak, and smile.
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are used to repair tooth decay. A dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth and fills the cavity with a material such as composite resin or amalgam. Fillings can help prevent further decay and restore the tooth’s function and appearance.
Why Are Dental Implants Considered the Gold Standard of Restorative Dentistry?
Here’s why dental implants are considered the gold standard in restorative dentistry:
- Durability and Longevity: Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. They fuse with the jawbone, creating a strong and stable foundation for replacement teeth.
- Natural Feel and Function: Implants mimic the roots of natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. They feel and function just like your own teeth.
- Preservation of Jawbone: When you lose a tooth, the jawbone in that area starts to deteriorate. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
- Improved Aesthetics: Dental implants offer a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing solution for replacing missing teeth. They can significantly enhance your smile and boost your self-esteem.
- Convenience and Comfort: Unlike dentures, dental implants are permanent and require no special cleaning solutions or adhesives. They are easy to care for and provide long-term comfort and convenience.
