When you chip or crack a tooth, or if one develops a cavity or infection, then you need to seek treatment. Otherwise, you risk painful symptoms and even tooth loss! Fortunately, we can help with custom dental restorations. In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about our approach to restorative dentistry.
The Dangers of an Injured Tooth
When you have an injured tooth, even if the damage appears to be minimal, you need to see our team for restorative dentistry. Otherwise, your chipped or cracked tooth could lead to decay or infection, leading to painful symptoms and the potential for a lost tooth. If a tooth is chipped or broken, let us know. If you sustain an injury to the face or jaw and no damage to the teeth are visible, consider an appointment anyway, as dental fractures are often invisible to the naked eye. We want to protect your smile with lifelike repair!
Your Restorative Dental Consultation
We will ask you about your injury and the circumstances behind it. Our team will then carefully examine it using advanced digital technology, so we can accurately assess the cause and severity of your injury. We can then choose the right dental restoration to address the issue and protect your smile. With restorative dentistry, we can return your smile to full function, health, and beauty, sometimes in only one visit!
Dental Fillings
If you have an aching tooth, this could be due to a cavity. Our team could treat the decay in one visit with a dental filling. The procedure will employ a metal-free composite resin, which is biocompatible, safe for all ages, and able to be color matched to blend with your smile. In addition, the same material can be used in a dental bonding procedure to address minor injuries and mask cosmetic imperfections, again all in only one visit.
Custom Crowns
We can also take on more substantial injuries with restorative dentistry using our dental crowns. The dental restoration will cap the tooth and cover the entire visible portion. We often craft them from materials like porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or zirconia, which can be shaded to blend with your smile. Placement can return your smile to optimal function, health, and beauty, taking on severe injuries and ensuring your smile looks good and is properly balanced as well.
Root Canal Therapy
If you have a tooth that is infected, then we can help with restorative dentistry. A root canal provides a gentle and comfortable approach to infection treatment, so you can enjoy relief and avoid the risk of a missing tooth. Our team will numb your smile and if you have anxiety, we could also offer sedation. We then open the tooth to access and remove the inner tissues. We then clean the interior of the tooth and add a special restorative material, before we cap it with a dental crown. Again, we take steps to ensure your crown looks natural and blends with your smile!
Tooth Extraction
Sometimes, a tooth is so damaged, decayed, or infected that it cannot be repaired and to protect the smile from the spread of infection, we need to extract the tooth. We could also conduct a tooth extraction to protect the smile from wisdom tooth eruption, or to even pave the way for a dental prosthetic. Our team will numb the area where the tooth is being removed and also offer sedation to help you enter a deep state of calm and relaxation. We plan and guide the process with digital imaging, and in some cases the entire process could take as little as 30 minutes. If you have a gap left behind by the extraction, we could discuss replacing it with a bridge or even a dental implant.
If you have any questions about our approach to restorative dentistry, or if you would like to schedule a visit to take on dental injuries or aching teeth, then contact our team today to get started. We want to help return your smile to full function, health, and beauty again, so you can enjoy good oral health and a smile that inspires confidence!
