The basic goal of restorative dental work sounds simple enough – your dentist is repairing a problem with your tooth, and ensuring it has proper support. For instance, if you have a cavity, they will remove the infection, and provide a dental filling or dental crown to protect your tooth. Being able to count on that support is important. Unfortunately, our teeth are not capable of repairing themselves after the experience of a cavity. When you come in for restorative care, you deserve to leave with a confident feeling that your tooth has the protection it needs. Thanks to modern dental materials, your dentist can also make sure your restoration fits in with your smile, so you have no cosmetic anxieties after treatment.
1. Your Restoration Can Be Natural-Looking, And Discreet
Fillings and crowns can fit in discreetly enough with your smile to avoid detection by others. For your filling, your dentist will use a composite resin material that can match the color and texture of your surrounding enamel. You can have an attractive porcelain or zirconia crown put in place for a tooth that needs more support than a filling can offer.
2. Your Tooth Should Have Enough Support To Hold Up Against Biting And Chewing Pressures
Simply put, a restoration needs to support your tooth. You should feel confident in your natural jaw functions after restorative treatment – if you worry you cannot bite or chew with a tooth that has undergone work, inform your dentist.
3. Your Restoration Should Last For Many Years
A quality restoration can last for many years. To help prolong the life of your filling or crown, make sure you practice good dental care, and attend regular dental exams. During those visits, your dentist can check on the condition of your filling or crown.
