What is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is a branch of dental practice focused on restoring the function, health, and aesthetics of teeth damaged by decay, injury, or other oral health problems. The goal of restorative dentistry is to repair, rebuild, or replace teeth through a range of personalized procedures, restoring the look, feel, and function of a natural smile.
Our Restorative Dental Procedures
Tooth-Colored & Traditional Fillings
Fillings are used to repair teeth damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures. During the procedure, the dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth, thoroughly cleans the affected area, and fills the cavity with a durable, long-lasting material such as composite resin, amalgam, or porcelain. Fillings restore the tooth’s shape, prevent further decay, and strengthen the tooth structure to stop more serious issues—like infections or the need for a root canal—before they start.
Dental Crowns & Bridges
Although placing dental crowns and bridges is a common dental procedure, it still triggers curiosity in many patients. Our team of dental professionals spends considerable time explaining the process to alleviate any concerns.
Crowns and bridges represent fixed prosthetics attached to existing teeth or implants using a strong dental bonding agent to ensure they remain secure for years to come.
- Crowns (Caps): Custom-made caps that fit over damaged, weakened, or root-canal-treated teeth to provide strength and protection. They are designed to match the natural color and shape of your teeth. We can even complete this in just one visit using our state-of-the-art PlanScan® technology.
- Bridges: Used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. This procedure involves removing a thin layer of enamel from neighboring teeth and placing crowns over them to act as sturdy anchors for the bridge, creating a seamless, natural-looking replacement.
Dental Implants
While there are plenty of dentists offering discount dentures, you deserve dental implants in Nashville that will last a lifetime. Don’t settle for low-grade prosthetics or inferior materials.
When a dentist places a dental implant, they insert a small metal post into the jawbone, which acts as a permanent replacement for the root of the missing tooth. Once this artificial root has healed and fused with the bone, a custom crown is attached. Implant-supported restorations restore the full function of your natural teeth without jeopardizing your budget or the quality of the results. You’ll be able to enjoy all of your favorite foods, talk with ease, and laugh without worrying that a dental prosthetic might slip.
Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a specialized procedure used to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth. The term “root canal” refers to the natural cavity located in the center of each tooth, where nerves wind through the pulp.
When the inner pulp becomes decayed or infected, our team takes quick action to clear out the infection, remove the damaged pulp and nerves, and thoroughly clean and seal the area. Because a tooth becomes weak and brittle after a root canal, a dental crown is necessary to prevent fracturing, bacterial exposure, and eventual tooth loss.
Dentures & Partials
- Traditional Dentures: Crafted to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, traditional dentures provide a cost-effective option for restoring your complete smile. They sit securely on the gums and are held in place with dental adhesives. They are fully removable, making cleaning and maintenance simple, while significantly improving your chewing ability and speech clarity.
- Partials: Removable dental appliances used to replace one or more missing teeth while blending in perfectly with your remaining natural teeth. The procedure involves taking precise impressions of your teeth and gums to create a custom-fit mold. Partials restore oral function and appearance while actively preventing your remaining natural teeth from shifting out of place.
Tooth Extractions
According to the American Dental Association, an extraction involves removing a permanent tooth due to severe trauma, deep decay, advanced gum disease, or overcrowding at the top or bottom of the mouth. The general procedure involves completely numbing the area around the damaged tooth. Our team is dedicated to keeping you completely at ease during this treatment, and a variety of sedation services are available to make your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Who Can Benefit from Restorative Care?
Restorative dentistry is ideal for anyone with damaged, decayed, or missing teeth who wants to regain a healthy smile. It is highly recommended for individuals who have experienced:
- Cavities, chips, cracks, or gaps
- Dental trauma or mouth injuries
- Advanced gum disease or tooth infections
During your consultation, we evaluate your individual circumstances. Certain factors, such as insufficient bone density or uncontrolled medical conditions, can affect the feasibility of dental implant treatment. If an implant isn’t the right fit, our team will explore alternative solutions—like bridges or dentures—to find the dental solution that’s right for you.
