Allows Our Dentists to Treat Problems Early On
Having a healthy dental routine and getting your teeth cleaned every six months helps our dentists identify any small problems that you may have early on. Restorative dentistry can fix tiny cavities and other problems before they become larger, more extensive problems down the road. You may be able to avoid the need for dental procedures such as a root canal, dental crown, or even an extraction by keeping your teeth healthy.
Affects Your Overall Health
Poor oral health can negatively affect your overall health. For instance, gum disease has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. It’s theorized that bacteria from your teeth and gums can make its way to your lungs and heart through your respiratory system. Restorative dentistry helps to prevent smaller and more easily treatable conditions like gingivitis from growing into larger health issues like periodontitis, which can negatively affect your overall health.
Saves You Money
Restorative dentistry procedures such as filling cavities can help save you money in the long run. When you keep to a healthy oral routine and get regular dental checkups and cleanings, tiny cavities can be filled before they grow into larger, more costly issues like a root canal, crown, or extraction. Investing in restorative dentistry and your oral health is a very wise investment.
Restores Proper Function
If you are having problems chewing or talking due to pain or discomfort in your mouth, restorative dentistry can help. Whether you find yourself avoiding chewing on one side, your bite doesn’t feel exactly right, or you have trouble speaking because of a loose tooth, restorative dentistry procedures can fix your bite and relieve pain so that you are better able to speak, chew and eat.
Saves Your Natural Teeth
If dental problems go untreated, it can become necessary to extract teeth. With restorative dentistry procedures like filling cavities, root canals, dental crowns, and more, our dentists may be able to save your natural teeth. It’s important to keep and restore your natural teeth whenever possible to ensure that the original structure and alignment of your teeth remain intact. When teeth must be extracted, other teeth may shift.
Improves Your Appearance
Restorative dentistry can not only improve the appearance of your teeth but also your face. Missing teeth can cause facial collapse. Our dentists can restore your natural teeth with restorative dental procedures so that you’ll never have to experience facial collapse. Restorative dentistry can also improve the appearance of your teeth and gums by removing decay and plaque and ensuring that your teeth are in good oral health.
