What Is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing teeth that are damaged, decayed, or missing. This area of dentistry includes a variety of treatments that not only restore the appearance of your smile but also improve your ability to chew, speak, and maintain overall oral health. Restorative treatments help prevent further damage, alleviate discomfort, and ensure the stability of your bite. At Ravenwood Dental, we take a personalized approach to restorative care, working closely with you to find the best options to meet your dental health goals.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its size, shape, and function. Crowns are commonly used for teeth that have large fillings, severe decay, or fractures. Made from durable, tooth-colored materials, crowns blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a beautiful, resilient result.
Dental Bridges
If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge can close the gap and restore your smile. Bridges anchor to neighboring teeth and support a custom artificial tooth in the space left by the missing tooth. This helps prevent shifting of the remaining teeth and restores your ability to chew and speak comfortably.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are an excellent choice for a long-lasting, natural-looking tooth replacement. Implants consist of a titanium post placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial root, with a crown or bridge attached on top. This option provides a stable, durable solution that looks and functions like a natural tooth, helping to maintain bone health and prevent the shifting of adjacent teeth.
Dentures and Partial Dentures
Dentures and partials are a time-tested option for replacing multiple missing teeth, and modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever. We offer full dentures for complete tooth loss, as well as partial dentures that replace several missing teeth while preserving remaining healthy teeth.
TMJ and Bite Alignment
If you suffer from jaw pain, frequent headaches, or bite misalignment, we offer treatments for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and bite issues. Proper alignment can alleviate pain, improve your bite, and prevent tooth wear. For more information on how we diagnose and treat TMJ disorders, please visit TMJ treatment.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, affects the gums and bone that support your teeth. Early treatment may involve deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing to remove plaque and bacteria below the gumline. Laser therapy or surgery may be needed to restore gum health in more advanced cases. Treating gum disease early helps prevent tooth loss and supports your overall health.
