What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is essentially any treatment that aims to restore the health, strength, functionality, and comfort of your teeth.
Unlike most preventive dental care and cosmetic services, restorative dentistry is intended to fix physically uncomfortable, painful, or unsafe oral conditions like cavities, cracked teeth, infections, and missing teeth.
While procedures like whitenings primarily improve the beauty of your smile, there are plenty of restorative dental treatments that preserve cosmetic appeal as a secondary goal. Dr. Palmieri often uses tooth-colored materials in restorations, for example, but a healthy, working set of teeth also makes for a nicer smile.
What are examples of restorative dentistry?
There are many kinds of restorative dental services:
- Fillings
- Crowns
- Implants
- Bridges
- Dentures
- Root canal therapy
Which restorative treatment is right for me?
To find out which dental restoration service will be most effective for you, consult Dr. Palmieri about the causes of your toothache, bite problems, or other concerns.
He and his expert staff will conduct a thorough examination, diagnose the issue, and prescribe the right treatment to relieve your symptoms and prevent oral complications.
Are dental restorations painful?
Most restorative dental services are relatively comfortable, thanks to modern techniques and innovative tools, all of which Dr. Palmieri regularly uses.
He frequently administers anesthesia to numb any pain and has worked hard to create a warm, spa-like environment in the office. You also receive instructions for a quick recovery, as needed.
What are the benefits of dental restorations?
There are a variety of health (and cosmetic) benefits to restorative dentistry:
- Protects your gums by filling in missing teeth
- Restores the integrity of damaged or decayed teeth
- Repairs your bite for more comfort chewing
- Returns your diction for clearer speech
- Prevents further oral issues like gum disease or root canal infection
