A Restorative Dentist Can Save Teeth

Need a restorative dentist? Do you have an awkward smile? Have you been told by friends and family that your teeth need some attention? If so, don't worry! Many dentists can help. One option is to see a dentist  who offers restorative treaetments. This type of dentistry will provide the best options for restoring your smile and oral health, but what does this mean for you? In this article, we'll discuss whether this type of dentist can save your smile.

What is restorative dentistry?

A restorative dentist is a dental professional who focuses on restoring teeth to their natural appearance, function, and health using state-of-the-art technology, emphasizing conservative procedures that will protect your existing tooth structure as much as possible. This type of dentistry will typically use a variety of restorative techniques to achieve the best results for their patients, including dental implants, crowns, bridges, and root canal therapy.

How can it help me?

If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms, a dentist can likely help:

  • Misaligned teeth
  • Teeth shifting over time
  • Broken or cracked teeth
  • Gaps between your teeth due to lost enamel and dentin (the main components of tooth structure) from chewing tough foods like steak or apple peels
  • Crooked teeth that affect your smile and bite alignment
  • Uneven spacing between your front teeth, sometimes called "buck teeth," because of how much they stick out from the rest of your mouth

How dental technology can treat you

Dental technology has come a long way since the 19th century, and it is constantly improving with each year.

Today's dentists can use advanced techniques like:

  • CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture): this allows your dentist to construct digital models of your restoration before they even put them in your mouth. This way, both you and the dentist are on the same page about what your restored smile will look like before any work is done.
  • Digital X-rays: This tool offers more detailed images of your teeth than regular x-rays do, which can help restorers make informed decisions about how to proceed with treatment for each tooth.
  • Cone beam CT scans: these are an even more detailed form of digital X-ray that provides a three-dimensional view of your teeth and gums, which can help your dentist determine the best way to restore each tooth's function and structure for optimal patient outcomes.
  • Dental implants: if you have lost one or more teeth, they can be replaced with dental implants. Implants are essentially artificial tooth roots that attach to your jawbone and provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth that look and function just like natural ones!

Is this type of dentistry right for me?

If you think you could benefit from advanced treatment options or want to explore an ideal smile makeover, a dentist may be the right choice for you.
