Restorative Dentistry Q&A

What is restorative dentistry?

Restorative dentistry diagnoses and treats damaged or missing teeth. It involves various procedures and interventions to repair, replace, or enhance teeth affected by decay or trauma. 

At Custom Dentures, restorative dentistry aims to improve the function, aesthetics, and structural integrity of your teeth and supporting tissues.

What can restorative dentistry fix?

The Custom Dentures team may recommend restorative treatments if you experience:

  • Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
  • Missing teeth
  • Severe tooth decay
  • Worn-down teeth
  • Misaligned teeth
  • Uneven bite or occlusion issues
  • Dental infections or abscesses
  • Gum disease that affects tooth health and structure
  • Trauma to the mouth 

The earlier you seek treatment for damaged teeth, the better. Over time, small cracks, misalignments, and worn teeth can turn into more severe problems. 

The Custom Dentures team addresses these issues promptly, preventing further complications and preserving the health and integrity of your teeth.

Which treatments does restorative dentistry include?

Custom Dentures specializes in many restorative treatments, including:

Fillings

Fillings are minor restorative treatments that repair cavities and enhance the structure of your damaged teeth.

Fixed bridges

If you have missing teeth, the Custom Dentures team may suggest fixed bridges to replace them, restoring their function and aesthetics.

Dental crowns

Dental crowns are custom-made caps shaped like teeth that fit snugly over damaged, decayed, or worn teeth. They protect teeth from further damage and restore their shape, size, and function.

Inlays and onlays

Inlays and onlays are dental restorations that repair moderately damaged or decayed teeth. Inlays fit within the cusps (points) of a tooth, while onlays extend to cover one or more cusps.

Single tooth implants

A dental implant replaces your natural root if you have a missing tooth. It involves placing a titanium post into your gums and jawbone, which serves as a stable foundation for a custom-made artificial tooth (crown).

Dentures

Dentures are prosthetic teeth that replace missing natural teeth, providing functional support for chewing and speaking while restoring the appearance of a complete smile.

Custom Dentures collaborates with you to ensure your restorative treatments look, feel, and function like your natural teeth, enhancing your smile and confidence.
