Why Restorative Dentistry Might Be Right For You
Tooth enamel is incredibly tough, even tougher than our bones. But that doesn't mean it's invincible. If it were, we wouldn't need dentists at all!
Despite our best efforts with regular brushing, flossing, and check-ups, sometimes life happens. A sweet tooth might lead to decay, an accident might chip a tooth, or age might cause some teeth to fall out. This can affect not only how we eat or speak but also how we feel about our smiles. Enter the world of restorative dentistry.
What is Restorative Dentistry?
Imagine a toolkit designed to fix and restore your teeth to their former glory. That's restorative dentistry for you. It's all about bringing back that confident smile and ensuring your teeth are in the best shape possible.
Common Restorative Treatments:
- Veneers: These are like thin shells that stick to the front of your teeth, perfect for hiding gaps, stains, or chips.
- Dental Implants: Lost a tooth? No problem. This involves a titanium screw fixed to your jawbone with a crown on top, acting just like a natural tooth.
- Inlays and Onlays: Think of these as middle-ground solutions. If your tooth is too damaged for a simple filling but not enough for a crown, these come into play. Inlays fit between the top points of a tooth, while onlays cover one or more of these points.
- Crowns: These are caps that fit over damaged teeth, giving them strength and a natural look.
- Dental Bridges: If you've lost a tooth, bridges use the neighboring teeth to support a fake one in the middle.
- Dentures: Whether you've lost a few or all of your teeth, dentures replace them, ensuring you can eat, speak, and smile confidently.
- Root Canal Therapy: If you've ever had a severe toothache, this might be the solution. It involves removing infected tissue from a tooth's roots. And don't worry, it's much more comfortable than it used to be!
