Restorative dental work is something you can avoid when you practice smart oral hygiene habits and also stay consistent with routine dental checkups. With that said, many people will wind up with at least one cavity in the course of their life, even if they feel good about the efforts that they put toward caring for their smile. If you experience trouble with dental decay, your Shrewsbury, MA dentist can help! The restorative services we provide lead to important protection for vulnerable teeth. With that said, we do provide smile-friendly restorations so that you do not have to worry about the effect a dental filling or dental crown might have on the way you look!
When Is Restorative Dentistry Appropriate?
If a cavity forms on your tooth, restorative dental work can protect you by removing the decayed material and placing a filling or crown on the tooth for support. The restoration is required because, unfortunately, our teeth cannot naturally heal from a cavity. It should be noted that it is sometimes appropriate to provide restorative dental work after a dental injury.
We Can Make Sure An Issue With Your Tooth Is Fully Addressed
What will it take to fully protect your tooth from further harm? Sometimes, a root canal procedure must be provided because decay has led to an internal infection. The root canal stops bacteria from permanently destroying the tooth, and protects you against the threat of an infection that might affect a different part of your body. Once a tooth is fully protected from bacteria and decay, a dental filling or dental crown is placed. A filling is used for smaller cavities, and only covers the area where decay was a concern. For larger cavities, it can be necessary to put a dental crown in place over the tooth. Thanks to the E4D technology at our practice, we can complete work with a dental crown in less time than practices that receive crowns from a third party lab.
Restoring Your Smile After You Lose A Tooth
If you lose a tooth because of an injury or severe cavity, we can make plans to restore your full smile! With a dental bridge, or a dental implant-held restoration, we can give you back your complete smile so that you can smile, bite, and chew with renewed confidence.
