What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the teeth, gums, and supporting structures. Its goal is to restore the function, integrity, and appearance of damaged or missing teeth. Restorative dental treatments not only repair damage from decay and trauma but also help maintain proper bite alignment, prevent further dental issues, and improve overall oral health. By restoring teeth, patients can enjoy better chewing function, clearer speech, and enhanced aesthetics.
Should my tooth be restored or replaced?
Whether a tooth should be restored or replaced depends on the extent of the damage and the tooth’s overall condition. Restoration is often the preferred option for minor to moderate damage, such as cavities, cracks, or minor chips, as it preserves the natural tooth. However, if the tooth is severely decayed, fractured, or compromised by extensive root damage, replacement might be necessary. Options for replacement include dental implants, bridges, and dentures. Dr. Ballou will assess your situation and create a custom treatment plan just for you.
How much does restorative dentistry cost?
The cost of restorative dentistry varies widely based on the type of procedure, materials used, and the complexity of the treatment. For example, a dental implant is more of an investment than a dental bridge, but it’s a more involved treatment, and implants are very durable and long-lasting.
