What is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry refers to any dental procedure that restores the functionality and structure of your teeth. Collins Street CBD restorative dentistry uses a variety of treatments to improve your oral health. We recommend a restorative procedure when trauma, decay, or infection damages a tooth.
Treatments for Restorative Dentistry
Many common dental problems require restorative dentistry in Collins Street CBD, including cavities, chips or fractures in your teeth, and missing teeth. We frequently use these treatments to repair your teeth:
Dental fillings to repair damage to your teeth: A cavity causes a hole that threatens the sensitive, nerve-rich pulp inside of the tooth. We need to remove the damaged portion of your tooth and fill the hole using a tooth-colored composite material; this prevents bacteria from further infecting the tooth.
Root canals to remove extensive tooth decay and infection: Eventually, untreated cavities can cause extensive decay that reaches the tooth’s pulp, leading to throbbing pain and infection. A root canal removes the damaged pulp and seals the root of your tooth.
Dental inlays and onlays to repair cavity and fracture damage: Occasionally, cavities create large holes that we can’t repair with a traditional filling. We treat larger cavities with porcelain inlays and onlays. An inlay is a solid piece of porcelain that’s designed to fit perfectly into your cavity and is cemented in place. A dental onlay is also made of porcelain to that stabilizes and restores fractures between your tooth’s cusps.
Dental crowns to reinforce your teeth: Teeth damaged by severe tooth decay or an injury need a crown to reinforce the tooth’s structure so that it doesn’t continue to deteriorate. We shave a portion of your tooth down and then fit the crown over the top part of your tooth.
Dental bridges or dental implants to replace missing teeth: If you’re missing one or more of your teeth, we can use a dental bridge and/or dental implants to fill in these missing teeth with artificial teeth.
What are the Benefits of Restorative Dentistry?
There are multiple benefits associated with restorative dentistry in Collins Street CBD that enhance your dental health and overall well-being.
Improves your appearance
Collins Street CBD restorative dentistry helps you keep or replace your teeth so that you have a healthy smile. Keeping all your teeth also prevents jawbone deterioration that can make your face appear saggy.
Reduces future dental problems
Treating dental issues with restorative dentistry in Collins Street CBD prevents them from turning into larger, more damaging problems that are expensive and time-consuming to fix. When we fix a cavity or fracture in its early stages, the procedure is fast and affordable. Cavities and fractures that are left untreated can spread infection or damage your tooth; these deep cavities and fractures require more expensive, intensive procedures.
Boost your self-esteem
When teeth appear damaged or are missing, this can impact your self-esteem. Collins Street CBD restorative dentistry repairs your teeth so that you feel confident and comfortable when you smile.
