How Restorative Dentistry Can Help You

Restorative dentistry is all about returning your smile to optimal function. This type of dentistry can help if you experience any of the following conditions:

Missing teeth
Chipped teeth
Weakened teeth
Cracked teeth

Restorative Dentistry is essential for maintaining not only the appearance but also the functionality of your teeth. If you're experiencing issues such as missing, chipped, weakened, or cracked teeth, consulting with a dentist can provide insights into treatment options that help preserve your oral health and overall well-being.

Replacing Missing Teeth is Important

If you've had a tooth pulled due to trauma or infection, you may mistakenly believe that by extracting the tooth your issue is resolved. But, you should know that extracting a tooth is just one step along the journey toward restoring your oral health and functionality.

When you fail to replace a missing tooth, it can cause the bone around the empty socket to resorb, losing volume and density. Over time, this can change the way you chew and speak, as well as alter your facial appearance. You may also experience misaligned teeth or the tooth opposite the missing tooth may begin to super-erupt, which can lead to a number of additional complications.

If you are struggling with missing teeth, you should know that you have options. Missing teeth can be replaced with a dental bridge, dental implant-supported restoration, or a partial denture. Better Days Dental is here to help!

Dental Bridges: Replace Teeth Economically

Dental bridges offer an excellent option for those who are missing teeth. Not only will you be enhancing the appearance of your smile, but the dental bridge will help prevent adjacent teeth from moving out of their proper positions. Dental bridges also help restore the functional aspects of your dentition such as speech and chewing abilities.

Dental Implants: The “Gold Standard” in Tooth Replacement

With a success rate nearing 97% after 10 years, dental implants are the preferred long-term solution to replacing missing teeth. With dental implants, you can replace a single tooth, several teeth in a series, or even a full arch of teeth with the All-on-4® treatment concept.

The Better Days Dental team is always here to guide patients on which restorative approach best suits their smile goals.

Dental Crowns: Restore the Strength of Compromised Teeth

Sometimes referred to as “caps,” dental crowns are used to encapsulate and strengthen the tooth. This also helps protect the tooth from bacteria and other contaminants.

Dental crowns are recommended in the following indications:

Cracked teeth
Worn teeth
Root canal therapy
Restoring a dental implant
Extensive tooth decay
Large cavities

Dental crowns are also used for cosmetic dentistry to correct the appearance of stained and misshapen teeth.

Dental crowns typically last around 15 years before needing replacement. Although, crowns lasting upwards of 30 years are not that uncommon.

Dental Bridges in Stafford, VA – Better Days Dental

Dental Bridges: Replace Teeth Economically

Dental bridges offer an excellent option to those that are missing teeth. Not only will you be enhancing the appearance of your smile, but the dental bridge will help prevent adjacent teeth from moving out of their proper positions. Dental bridges also help restore the functional aspects of your dentition such as speech and chewing abilities.

Depending on your clinical situation, we can recommend several types of dental bridges, such as:

Fixed bridge. A fixed bridge uses the two adjacent healthy teeth to hold an artificial tooth in place of your missing tooth. With this type of procedure, the two neighboring teeth are prepared for dental crowns, which are then used to hold an artificial tooth known as a pontic.
‍Maryland bridge. This bridge style takes its name from the University of Maryland. Instead of having two crowns to support a prosthetic tooth, a Maryland bridge uses two tabs cemented onto the backside of the neighboring teeth to support the restoration. ‍
Cantilever bridge. A cantilever bridge is similar to a standard fixed bridge, but instead of two teeth, this type of restoration uses just one tooth to support a prosthetic tooth. Since this approach is naturally less stable than a conventional fixed bridge, it is only recommended for certain teeth.
