Restorative Dental Services

What are Restorative Dental Services?

Restorative dentistry is focused on the primary goal of improving oral health and chewing function. In its simplest form, this is removing cavities and replacing the tooth decay with a filling. More extensive dental restorative services include repairing damaged, broken, or missing teeth.

Dental restorative services differ from cosmetic dentistry as they are focused on improving oral health and primary oral function. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth and your smile.

Why is Restorative Dentistry Important?

Restorative dental services help restore the primary oral functions of eating, speaking, and chewing. Restorative dentistry is about “restoring” and maintaining full oral function by fixing damaged, decayed teeth. These services are important as they give you the best chance of long-lasting oral health.

The Advantages of Restorative Dentistry

Dental restorative services offer a wide range of benefits across people of all ages. The basic benefit is improved oral health, especially chewing and speaking. Often, restoration services help reduce or eliminate dental pain and can even help with the appearance of your smile. By keeping up on your oral health and addressing any dental issues as they arise, you can reduce or eliminate many common and avoidable oral health issues in the future.

If you have any damaged or missing teeth, tooth pain, or any discomfort in your mouth, don’t hesitate to get it checked. A small amount of pain today can lead to larger problems if left unchecked.

While dental procedures can be intimidating to many, the alternative of tooth decay, tooth loss, and unmanageable pain can be far more frightening. Visit us regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Practice good oral hygiene at home and don’t hesitate to call if you have any concerns. The sooner you treat a dental problem, the less pain and problems you are likely to have.
