The primary goal of restorative dentistry is to restore the function, integrity, and morphology of the dentition, as well as to improve the overall oral health of the patient. Restorative dentistry plays a crucial role in maintaining and improving the overall oral health, function, and aesthetics of the teeth and mouth. Book an exam with our qualified and experienced dentist to determine the most appropriate restorative dental treatment based on your individual needs and circumstances.
Here are some common restorative dental procedures performed at Lacombe Park Dental: - 1. Dental Fillings: Used to repair teeth that have been damaged by cavities or trauma. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth is removed, and the remaining space is filled with a dental material.
- 2. Dental Crowns (Caps): A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made of various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these materials.
- 3. Dental Bridges: A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between the remaining teeth. It consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap, with a false tooth or teeth in between.
- 4. Dental Implants: Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically inserted into the jawbone and serves as a replacement for the root of the missing tooth. A crown, bridge, or denture is then attached to the implant to replace the missing tooth or teeth.
- 5. Dentures: Dentures are removable appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They can be complete dentures (for replacing all teeth in the upper or lower arch) or partial dentures (for replacing one or more missing teeth).
- 6. Root Canal Therapy: Also known as endodontic treatment, root canal therapy is performed to treat an infected or inflamed pulp (the innermost part of the tooth). The infected pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and then the tooth is sealed with a filling or crown to prevent further infection.
- 7. Dental Bonding: Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored composite resin material is applied to the tooth's surface to repair chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, or to close gaps between teeth.
- 8. Dental Veneers: While primarily considered a cosmetic procedure, dental veneers can also be used as a restorative treatment to repair chipped or cracked teeth, as well as to improve the appearance of stained or misaligned teeth.
