If you begin to notice pain in a tooth, or if one is damaged or even knocked-out, then we can help. With restorative dentistry, our team can repair teeth and ensure a lifelike appearance too. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist talks about the signs you need restorative dentistry, so you can know when to see us and receive the care you require!
Toothaches and Other Concerns
What warning signs should you take into consideration? We recommend calling our team for an appointment if you notice your tooth aches or feel sensitive and this discomfort doesn’t pass after a day or two. Persistent pain could mean a cavity or infection that needs treatment before it threatens smile stability. If you have chipped a tooth, or broken or cracked one, then we could repair the tooth before cavities or infection develop. Losing a tooth to injury, disease, or other factors needs to be addressed, whether you have one missing tooth or all of them, and we can help with restorative dentistry.
Fillings and Crowns
If we discover that you have a cavity, then we can help in one visit with restorative dentistry. With a dental filling, our team can treat a cavity with a restoration that looks natural. The process involves applying a composite resin to the tooth that is shaded to look natural and will bond with the tooth. This prevents the decay from becoming an infection. If you have more severe decay or an infection, then again we can help with restorative dentistry. A dental crown can be custom-made to ensure a lifelike appearance and a durable chewing surface, protecting the tooth for years to come. If a tooth is infected, this could complete a root canal to save the tooth.
Bridges and Dentures
What if a tooth is lost? For minor tooth loss, such as one to three missing teeth in a row, we could create a dental bridge that fits in the gap and offers a durable and lifelike replacement, lasting up to 15 years in some cases. If you have more severe tooth loss, we could create custom dentures, such as a partial or full one, to address missing teeth and provide a complete smile that can last for decades to come.
Don’t live with damaged or missing teeth, instead talk to our team about how we address damaged or missing teeth, helping you smile with confidence again and enjoy better oral health and even improved bite function too.
