Answering 3 Common Questions about Restorative Dentistry

Everyday usage and misuse may wear down your smile and harm your teeth. Other causes, such as decay, injury, or aging, can cause our teeth to weaken, impacting both our dental and general health. Restorative dentistry refers to the treatments provided by dental labs to restore damage to your teeth. 

The following are answers to three commonly asked questions about restorative dentistry:

1) How is a broken tooth repaired?

A tooth can crack due to decay, accident, illness, or other causes, leaving you with a cracked grin, difficulties speaking or chewing, or oral health concerns. Restorative dental treatments allow you to have high-quality repairs made to your fractured teeth. A porcelain dental crown covers the whole exposed part of the tooth. This porcelain is color-matched to the surrounding teeth, making the crown nearly indistinguishable from a real tooth.

2) What should I do if I have a missing tooth?

If you've ever had a lost tooth, you know how inconvenient it is to eat and communicate without the right tools, as well as the humiliation of an imperfect smile. Dental implants restore missing teeth by bonding directly to the jawbone and re-creating a chewing sensation. 

3) What if there are multiple dental injuries?

Full-mouth rehabilitation, also known as total dental restoration or rejuvenation, is a staged treatment plan that lets you define an oral health goal and target trouble spots to fix over time.

Through these answers, we have tried to address various that come under restorative dentistry. Dental labs play a vital role in these procedures.
