Restorative dental treatments are essential for repairing and preserving the health of tooth structure, preventing the advancement of tooth decay, and improving the overall appearance of your smile. Restorative dentistry includes several treatments that can restore the health and function of the mouth. These treatments include filling cavities, treating gum disease, repairing root canals, and replacing missing teeth. Fillings are one of the most common forms of restorative dentistry. This treatment is used to restore a damaged tooth to health and prevent further decay. A filling is placed in the cavity to fill the gap and seal out oral bacteria. There are several types of fillings, including amalgam, composite, and gold. For patients suffering from gum disease, a periodontal treatment may help restore oral health. This treatment helps reduce inflammation and remove plaque and tartar from the gum line. It helps to restore the tissue and bone structure near the gums and helps reattach the gums to the teeth. Root canals are another form of restorative dentistry. This treatment is used to treat extensive decay and infection of the inner pulp of a tooth. During the procedure, the infected pulp is removed, and the root canal is filled with a filler material. This helps save the tooth and prevents further decay. Missing teeth can be replaced with several restoration techniques, including bridges, dentures, and implants. A bridge uses an artificial tooth to fill the gap left by a missing tooth. Dentures are removable and used when many natural teeth are missing. Implants are metal posts that are inserted into the jawbone to anchor a replacement tooth. Restorative dental treatments help preserve and restore oral health. These treatments provide an array of restoration options to replace missing teeth, protect tooth structure, and maintain healthy gums. By visiting a dentist regularly for preventive care, these treatments can help ensure your dental health.
