What is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry is a specialized branch of dental care that focuses on restoring the health, function, and aesthetics of your teeth and mouth. It encompasses a variety of treatments designed to repair or replace damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. Whether you’ve lost a tooth due to decay, injury, or age, restorative dentistry offers solutions to restore your smile and improve your oral health. Dr. Frances Golly at All About Smiles in McMinnville, OR, is an expert in restorative dentistry, with years of experience helping patients regain their confidence and oral functionality.

The Restorative Dentistry Treatment Process

Restorative dentistry involves a comprehensive approach that begins with a thorough examination of your oral health, followed by a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs.

Comprehensive Evaluation

Comprehensive Evaluation

The first step in the restorative dentistry process is a thorough evaluation of your oral health. This includes a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and jaw. Dr. Golly uses advanced diagnostic tools to detect any signs of decay, damage, or disease that may be affecting your oral health. This evaluation helps her understand the extent of the damage and the best course of treatment to restore your smile.

Based on the results of your comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Golly will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

The Benefits Of Restorative Dentistry

Tooth Replacement

One of the main benefits of restorative dentistry is tooth replacement. Missing teeth can cause a host of problems, from difficulty eating and speaking to a lack of self-confidence. Restorative dentistry offers several tooth replacement options, including dental implants and bridges, which look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They fill in the gaps in your smile, improving your oral function and aesthetics.

Same Day Crowns

Same day crowns are another significant benefit of restorative dentistry. Traditionally, getting a dental crown required multiple visits to the dentist, but with the advent of same day crowns, you can have a damaged tooth repaired in a single visit. Using advanced CEREC technology, Dr. Golly can design, fabricate, and place a custom crown in just one appointment, saving you time and inconvenience.

Dental Bridges and Implants

Dental bridges and implants are excellent solutions for replacing missing teeth. They not only restore your smile but also prevent the remaining teeth from shifting, which can lead to bite problems. Bridges fill in the gaps created by one or more missing teeth, while implants provide a durable, long-lasting solution that mimics the look and function of natural teeth. Both options can significantly improve your oral health and quality of life.
