What is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry involves the study and management of oral diseases that affect the teeth and their supporting structures. Restorative dentistry utilizes different forms of dental specialties, including endodontics, prosthodontics, and periodontics for those cases who require multi-surfaced care. Restorative dentistry involves several procedures, such as dental implants, fillings, crowns, dentures, and many more. This type of dentistry’s main focus is ensuring that the mouth is functioning properly while also improving the overall look of the smile. Restorative dentistry is important for many reasons but most of all, it keeps the mouth healthy.

Restorative dental procedures are important because:

  • Not replacing missing teeth can lead to further complications, such as bone loss which can lead to a collapsed face, therefore affecting your appearance and self-esteem.
  • Replacing missing teeth helps maintain proper alignment of the natural teeth and prevent any shifting from occurring.
  • Replacing missing teeth helps maintain good oral hygiene habits to prevent plaque build-up which can lead to further complications, such as gum disease.
  • Cavities, also known as dental caries, are permanently damaged areas of the tooth that develop tiny holes in the tooth’s surface. If not treated, the cavity can worsen and cause a greater deal of pain and substantial dental work. Dental fillings are an effective treatment option for cavities that fill the hole and prevent any bacteria from entering the damaged area
