What Is Restorative Dentistry?

The primary purpose of restorative dentistry is to save teeth and reinstate the teeth’s natural shape, look, and feel. This goal is attained through the following measures:

  • The missing teeth are replaced with artificial appliances such as implants, bridges, or dentures.
  • The impaired teeth are fixed with dental bondings or fillings therapies.
  • The tooth’s broken or missing sections are restored with procedures such as the crowns, fillers, or inlays and onlays.

What Are the Different Kinds of Restorative Treatments?

There are several types of restorative procedures, including:

  • Dental Fillings

    The tooth-colored or metal fillings restore teeth that have been impaired by injury or tooth decay. They also reduce the risk of infection and also improve the bite.

  • Dental Crowns

    They are tooth-colored or metal restorations. It covers tooth structures damaged by root canals, dental decay, or fractures. They act as covers and restore the original size, shape, and function of a tooth.

  • Dental Bridges

    They help restore one or more teeth bridging the gap on both sides of the missing tooth. Dental bridges are less expensive than implants and the recovery time is also quicker.

  • Dentures

    They are fixed or removable sets of false teeth that replace multiple missing teeth. Dentures provide a solution for people suffering from progressive dental decay or gum disease.

  • Dental Implants

    A dental implant is utilized to substitute for a permanent tooth. The process involves surgically inserting these implants in the jawbone to fill up the missing tooth’s space, thereby re-establishing the aesthetics of a smile.

  • Dental Bonding

    They can fill cavities, repair cracked or chipped teeth and conceal the teeth’s discolored surfaces. These dental bonding also helps fill minor gaps between the teeth.

  • Root Canal

    Root canals are carried out to remove the infected tissue inside the tooth to save it. Done under anesthesia, it is a standard dental procedure that helps prevent the extraction of a tooth.

  • Inlays and Onlays

    They are tooth-colored or gold restorations that restore smaller damaged or missing parts of the tooth. Placing inlays and onlays is not as invasive as placing crowns.

Restorative Dentistry Treatment Options

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges assist in filling the gap left by more than one missing tooth. A bridge consists of the prosthetic teeth called the pontics that will replace the missing ones, supported by one or more crowns to be attached to the teeth on either side of a hole. The adjacent teeth, besides the gap, are called abutment teeth. Bridges help restore both the aesthetics and the functionality of the teeth. The bridges can be manufactured from various materials such as gold, alloys, or porcelain.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped restorations that are secured over an affected tooth. There are several reasons — your teeth may have gotten damaged by something like tooth decay, injuries, or just regular wear and tear. A crown helps safeguard the tooth, besides improving its appearance. It restores the tooth’s size, shape, and function. At Sedro-Woolley Family Dental Center, we can help you with customized dental crowns to conceal the imperfections of your teeth.

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are one of the most standard restorative dental procedures. Its primary function is to treat a cavity by removing the decayed area and filling the space with a medicated material. The process is painless and does not take more than an hour. At Sedro-Woolley Family Dental Center, we provide dental fillings for our patients to restore the tooth to its earlier function and appearance.

Dental Implant Restorations

A dental implant is a prosthetic tooth designed to replace your tooth after it has been lost or extracted. Implants are designed to replace both the root and crown of your teeth to give you a solution that looks, feels and functions just like your original tooth. Implants consist of two main parts, the implant post and the implant restoration.

Dentures

Dentures are removable oral appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth. If you are missing some or all of your teeth, dentures might be just what you need to restore the function, beauty and health of your smile.
