Restore The Health Of Your Teeth
Restorative dentistry is used to restore the health, functionality, integrity, and overall appearance of your teeth. There are many reasons why your teeth could become compromised, including:
- Oral infections like gum disease
- Mouth-related accidents and injuries
- Normal wear and tear caused by aging
- Changes in your diet and/or lifestyle
- Health conditions like diabetes or oral cancer
Our Marietta dental team combines innovative techniques and state-of-the-art technology to deliver the highest-quality care possible to our patients. Our restorative dentistry services won’t just significantly improve your oral health, they will also increase your overall quality of life.
Can I Benefit From Restorative Dentistry
Many Marietta patients can benefit from restorative dentistry, including those who have teeth that are misaligned, cracked, broken, missing, decaying, or discolored. It can also be used to fix spacing issues, like excessive gapping or overcrowding. Restorative dentistry can also be used to treat oral diseases, address structural problems related to your mouth and the surrounding areas, and increase the longevity of your teeth and gums.
On top of the benefits to your oral health, restorative dentistry can help enhance
common occurrences in your everyday life. This includes chewing, speaking, and carrying out your daily activities without the pain and stress associated with dental problems. Patients who restore their teeth, gums, or both are generally more confident in social situations and find normal aspects of their routine more enjoyable.
How Restorative Dentistry Works
Your Marietta dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and gums and diagnose any oral-related health conditions. Some restorative dentistry is quick and easy, like filling in a cavity, while other customized treatment plans will require multiple office visits. Should your dental problems be particularly severe or broad in scope, our dentist will refer you to a trusted specialist for certain phases of the treatment.
Some common treatments that fall under restorative dentistry include:
- Dental implants
- Full or partial dentures
- Crowns and/or bridges
- Root Canals
- Tooth-colored fillings
- Full-mouth rehabilitation (Smile Makeovers)
Your dentist or the specialist you are referred to may need to use sedation or anesthesia to minimize risk and maximize comfort during the treatment process. Make sure you are fully prepared for your visit by getting the information you need beforehand, such as recovery time and any potential side effects.
What To Expect
Depending on the nature of your dental problem(s), your Marietta dentist may recommend a direct or indirect restoration. Direct restorations apply to immediate treatments that can be accomplished in a single office visit, like filling in a prepared tooth cavity.
Indirect restorations are a multi-step process that take place over multiple office visits, like the placement of crowns and bridges. This is generally the case for personalized treatment plans that use materials fabricated in a dental lab (i.e. custom-fit veneers and dentures).
Some treatments also require adequate time to pass for the mouth and gums to heal properly before a restorative treatment is carried out. For example, patients who have teeth pulled for dentures may need to wait up to two months before finalizing their restorative treatment.
