Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is used to repair damage to your teeth or to replace missing teeth to complete your smile. It focuses on enhancing the function and appearance of your teeth, improving the way you eat and speak, and boosting your confidence as a result.

Common restorative dentistry procedures include crowns, bridges and dentures. Dental implants can also be used as a superior option for replacing missing teeth, with highly aesthetic and stable results. If you need restorative dentistry, your dentist will recommend the most appropriate procedure for your individual needs and preferences.

Restorative dentistry has a number of benefits, including improving the way your teeth function and enhancing their appearance. It can also help you speak more clearly and improve your oral health by helping to prevent further decay or damage. Filling a gap in your teeth keeps your remaining natural teeth in the proper alignment and supports your facial structure to prevent sagging.

The length of time your results from restorative dental treatments last depends on the type of procedure and your particular case. Dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime if they are cared for properly, and crowns and bridges can last up to 15 years before needing to be replaced. It is important to maintain a good oral hygiene routine at home to ensure your results last as long as possible.

The best way to look after your teeth following restorative dentistry is to keep up with an excellent oral hygiene routine at home, including brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing and/or using interdental brushes daily. You should also visit your dentist and hygienist for regular appointments so they can check on your dental restorations and oral health.
