The Essence of Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is aimed at restoring the health, functionality, and appearance of your teeth. Whether due to cavities, tooth decay, damage, or missing teeth, restorative dentistry offers solutions to bring back your smile's integrity. Dr. Mitchell and our team are dedicated to providing personalized treatment plans that address your specific needs, ensuring your smile is both beautiful and fully functional.

Who Needs Restorative Dentistry?

You might be a candidate for restorative dentistry if you have experienced:

  • Cavities or tooth decay
  • Damaged or broken teeth
  • Missing teeth

Restorative dentistry is not only about fixing problems but also preventing future issues, preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, and enhancing the overall appearance of your smile.

A Closer Look at Restorative Dental Procedures

Restorative dentistry includes various procedures, each designed to address particular issues related to tooth damage or loss. Here are some of the most common restorative treatments provided at Mitchell Dental Studio:

Fillings

For teeth affected by decay, fillings are the first line of defense. After removing the decayed portion, Dr. Mitchell fills the cavity with a tooth-colored composite material. This not only halts the progression of decay but also restores the tooth's shape and function.

Crowns

When a tooth is significantly damaged or decayed, a dental crown may be necessary. Crowns, sometimes referred to as caps, are custom-made to fit over the entire tooth, providing strength and protection while also restoring its natural appearance.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is required when decay or damage reaches the tooth's pulp, causing infection. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the canal, and sealing it to prevent further issues. Often, a crown is placed afterward to ensure the tooth's strength and durability.

Bridges and Implants

Missing teeth can be replaced with dental bridges or implants. Bridges use adjacent teeth as anchors for a prosthetic tooth, while implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a base for a crown, bridge, or denture.

The Importance of Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is vital for several reasons. It improves your ability to chew and speak properly, alleviates pain and discomfort, and enhances your smile's appearance. Moreover, by addressing dental issues promptly, you can prevent more severe problems in the future, contributing to your overall oral health.
