The use of fluorides and an increased
general awareness about the need for good oral health have, in recent years,
led to a decrease in the incidence of tooth decay. While that is excellent news, it's important
to remember that tooth decay and other dental health problems are still real
issues that can affect people from all walks of life. When tooth decay, breakage or other issues
arise, restorative treatments may be necessary.
At such times, cosmetic dentists are the professionals who can restore
the health and beauty of your smile.
Whether your teeth have become damaged
through trauma or decay, restorative dental treatments incorporate advanced
technologies and techniques to return teeth to their normal appearance,
function and structural integrity. By
rehabilitating both the structural and aesthetic aspects of damaged and decayed
teeth, restorative dental treatments improve patients' oral health, appearance
and self-confidence.
Reasons for restorative dental treatments include:
- Restoring the appearance of a patient's smile.
- Replacing missing teeth.
- Repairing tooth damage caused by trauma.
- Repairing decayed teeth.
- Preventing the death or loss of a tooth.
- Relieving dental pain and discomfort.
- Replacing old, damaged or unattractive dental treatments.
- Restoring a patient's normal chewing and eating ability.
- Fixing uneven or unattractive spaces between teeth.
- Correcting an improper bite.
Dental restoration methods include:
- Onlay and inlay restorations.
- Fixed bridges.
- Dentures.
- Dental implants.
- Crowns.
- Composite fillings.
When patients require restorative dental
treatments, their cosmetic dentist will discuss all of the available options
and will recommend the treatment which is likely to be the most effective and
the least invasive. Sedation methods for
the improvement of patient comfort will also be discussed, particularly when
more significant procedures are required.
Remember, your smile can leave a powerful
first impression so be sure to always provide your teeth with the care and
attention they need!
Remember to give your teeth the attention they need today!
