What is Restorative
dentistry?

“Restorative dentistry” is the term dental professionals use to explain how they replace missing or damaged teeth. Fillings, crowns (“caps”), bridges and implants are common restorative options. The goal is to bring back your natural smile and prevent future oral health issues.

Bridges

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that replaces one or more missing teeth. The process of installing the dental bridge will involve placing crowns on the two adjacent teeth and cementing them together to support the new tooth.

The advantages of having a dental bridge are numerous, but they include better chewing ability, improved speech, less sensitivity from exposed roots, and an overall improvement in oral health because it supports natural teeth.

Design. Care. Technology

Restorative dentistry is a combination of treatments that restore or replace missing or severely damaged teeth. This includes everything from a minor filling to more complex oral surgery procedures that require anesthesia. Some of them are directly performed, such as filling a cavity, and some of them are more indirect such as replacing a tooth in the form of a customized crown.

Why restorative
dentistry procedures
are important

The most common way to treat a cavity is for your dentist to remove the decay and fill the tooth with one of several different materials. These filling materials include gold, porcelain, silver amalgam (which consists of mercury mixed with silver, tin, zinc and copper), tooth-colored plastic or composite resin.

Filling empty spaces in the mouth helps keep teeth properly aligned

Replacing teeth makes it easier to maintain good oral care habits to help prevent plaque build-up and the problems plaque can lead to

Missing teeth can affect your health, appearance and self-esteem
