When you hear people talk about restoring a vintage car or see a professional restore a piece of art, what’s the ultimate result of that process? The mechanic or the artist takes something broken, faded, or incomplete and returns it to its original glory. The same idea is true in restorative dentistry. Experienced dentists like Dr. Robert Harvey or Dr. Rameek McNair at Aspire Dental Group can take a broken, infected, or missing tooth and restore its health, functionality, and aesthetic. The field of restorative dentistry is wide and varied, with many treatment options to improve your oral health and keep your smile shining brightly.
What Is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry encompasses any treatment or procedure that re-establishes your teeth and mouth’s proper health and functionality. It’s like a handyman’s toolbox, but instead of tools for fixing problems around the house, it’s full of treatment options for fixing issues with your teeth and gums.
Although regular dental checkups are designed to allow us to catch small problems before they become bigger, even the most reliable brushers and flossers sometimes need a little extra help. Some signs and symptoms that you might require restorative dentistry treatments include:
- Tooth decay and cavities
- Broken or worn-down teeth
- Advanced tooth or gum infection
- Missing teeth
Every patient who walks through our doors at Aspire Dental Group has their own story. Some might have lost a tooth in an accident, others may have worn their teeth down by grinding in their sleep, and some might be experiencing pain from a cavity or periodontal disease. Our goal is to relieve your pain, save your affected tooth, and prevent any future problems that poor oral health might cause.
Restorative Dentistry Treatments
At Aspire Dental Group, we offer many restorative dentistry treatments. At your initial no-cost consultation, we can examine your mouth and medical history to determine the most appropriate treatments.
- Fillings: Cavities are formed when bacteria create a hole in your enamel. And what’s the best way to take care of a hole? You “fill” it, of course! Dental fillings will stop tooth decay and reinforce your natural dental structure. We use tooth-colored composite resin to ensure the filling seamlessly blends in with your original tooth’s aesthetics.
- Crowns: Dental crowns are protective caps placed over damaged teeth. They restore the tooth’s appearance and functionality and shield it from further damage. A crown can also replace a missing tooth when attached to a mini implant.
- Root canals: A modern root canal is nothing like the outdated stereotype. Thanks to local anesthetic and the experienced team at Aspire Dental Group, it’s a virtually pain-free experience. The goal of a root canal is to save your tooth from extraction, and once we remove the infection, we’ll protect the tooth with a dental crown.
- Gum disease treatment: Gum disease, also known as gingivitis or periodontal disease, is one of the most common oral health issues worldwide. If caught early, it can be easily treated, but if left unchecked, it will require more invasive and expensive treatments later.
Missing Tooth Replacement
Many restorative procedures are designed to replace anywhere from a single missing tooth to all your teeth.
- Mini dental implants: These small titanium posts are a modern solution for missing teeth. We can quickly place mini dental implants directly into your jawbone, where they provide incredible support for new teeth. They also keep your jawbone healthy by stimulating it like your tooth roots do. Mini implants are a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure, have a quick healing time, and are more affordable than older traditional implants.
- Bridges: Do you have a gap in your smile from a missing tooth? Dental bridges fill those gaps by connecting replacement teeth to the healthy teeth on either side of the space. Traditional bridges use two dental crowns as their support structure, but a more modern, stable option is an implant-supported bridge, which receives support from below by mini implants.
- Dentures: An old-fashioned set of dentures sits on your gums for stability and can easily lose its fit over time. Implant dentures connect directly to your jawbone through mini dental implants and are a much sturdier and more functional option.
How Much Does Restorative Dentistry Cost?
We understand that dental procedures often come with cost concerns. But at Aspire Dental Group, our practice believes everyone deserves a bright, functional smile at an affordable price. That’s why, at your no-cost consultation, our staff will review your dental insurance and financing options, ensuring you can make an informed decision about your dental future.
