What is Restorative Dentistry?

There are three basic reasons why most people visit the dentist: the health of their teeth and gums, the functionality of their teeth and gums, and the appearance of their teeth and gums. All of these reasons involve restorative dentistry.

Restoring any or all of your natural teeth that may have become broken, damaged, decayed, or even lost is the primary function of this area of dentistry. Included, of course, is attention to gums and tissues that may be contributing to part of the problems in your mouth.

Restorative dentistry usually covers partial dentures and removable appliances for areas of your mouth where more than one tooth is missing. TMJ Disorders and gum disease protocols are often included services that are offered to dental patients since the condition and health of the entire mouth and jaw are important to good dental care and maintenance.

In some cases, full mouth reconstruction is required for overall function, dental health, and appearance.

Endodontics, prosthodontics, and periodontics are the scientific areas from which your dental team will be choosing the best solution for your oral needs.

Can Restorative Dentistry Fix Misalignment?

If your teeth, for whatever reason, are poorly aligned or even out of place, restorative dentistry can address this problem before more serious issues arise. Sore joints and mouth muscles, breaking teeth, and an unattractive appearance can all result from letting teeth remain out of position.

Sometimes, the removal of one or more teeth can cause drifting of the nearby teeth, thus resulting in mouth problems that will require restorative work.

How Do I Begin My Restorative Treatment?

After a thorough examination, Dr. Grapevine will evaluate your dental history and formulate a diagnosis of your mouth problems. Then you will be presented with all possible treatment options so that you can make an informed decision about which procedures you want to have implemented. Restorative dentistry covers many options in mouth care, including crowns to restore damaged teeth and bridges to replace missing teeth.

These procedures are called “fixed” dentistry because the results are permanent and non-removable. Additionally, root canals and implants are also possible choices.

Do You Offer Conscious Sedation For Restorative Procedures?

For those who are afraid of the pain that is often associated with restorative dentistry, most practices now offer three different forms of anesthesia or sedation. An oral pill can be taken before your appointment that will relax you and deaden the pain. You will need someone to transport you to and from your appointment.

An IV drip can be used by a qualified anesthesiologist if extensive work is required. The most common sedation is “laughing gas” or Nitrous Oxide. You will be able to drive yourself home after the procedures are complete and the effects have worn off.
