What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. It restores function and appearance, prevents further damage, and improves overall oral health. Common procedures include fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures.
How long do restorations last?
The lifespan varies by procedure. Fillings last 5-30 years depending on material. Crowns and bridges typically last 10-15 years. Implants can last a lifetime with proper care. Dentures may need adjustment or replacement every 5-8 years.
What's the difference between crowns and veneers?
Crowns cover the entire tooth and require more tooth preparation, but they provide stronger restoration for severely damaged teeth. Veneers cover only the front surface and require minimal tooth removal, making them ideal for cosmetic enhancement of relatively healthy teeth.
Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?
Yes, bridges allow normal eating and speaking once you adjust to them. However, you should avoid very hard or sticky foods that might damage the bridge. Proper cleaning underneath the bridge is important for long-term success.
How do I care for my dentures?
Dentures should be cleaned daily with a denture brush and cleaner. Remove them at night and soak them in water or cleaning solution. Handle them carefully to avoid breakage, and see us regularly for adjustments as your jaw shape changes.
