What Is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged teeth and replacing missing teeth to restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile.
It includes a variety of treatments designed to address common dental problems like cavities, chipped or cracked teeth, tooth loss, and more. Our goal with restorative care is to bring your teeth back to their best shape so you can enjoy optimal oral health.
Root Canals
If a tooth becomes infected or severely decayed, a root canal may be necessary to save it. During a root canal, the infected pulp inside the tooth is removed, and the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
After the root canal, the tooth is restored with a crown to protect it from further damage. Root canals are often feared, but modern techniques and sedation options make them a comfortable and effective treatment that saves your natural tooth.
Repairing Cavities & Tooth Decay
One of the most common restorative procedures is the treatment of cavities. When decay damages your tooth, a filling is used to remove the decay and restore the tooth's structure.
At Cedar Springs Dental, we offer tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
For more extensive decay or damage, a crown might be needed. Crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that fit over the entire tooth, protecting it and restoring its strength. Crowns are typically used when a tooth is too damaged for a regular filling or after root canal treatment.
Replacing Missing Teeth
If you're missing one or more teeth, we offer several restorative options to bring back your complete smile.
Missing teeth can lead to difficulty eating and speaking and even lead to jawbone deterioration over time. That's why it's essential to address tooth loss promptly. Ask Dr. Ho and our team about bridges or dentures.
