What Is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is a field of dentistry that focuses on restoring good oral health. Restoring teeth and smiles to good oral health may involve one, several, or many treatments that remedy problems such as tooth decay (cavities), and wear and tear on the teeth (fractures, cracks, chips). Restorative dental treatments also restore incomplete smiles to full smiles with treatments such as dental implants, dental bridges, and dentures.
Benefits of Restorative Dentistry
The overarching goal of restorative dentistry is to restore oral health. Specific benefits of restorative dentistry include:
- Restoring decayed teeth to good health
- Restoring gaps in smiles due to missing teeth
- Eliminating pain
- Preventing tooth loss
- Strengthening weakened teeth
- Preserving and fortifying the jawbone
- Protecting vulnerable teeth
- Improving chewing and speaking capabilities
- Improving self-confidence
- Enhancing quality of life
