Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dentistry
What does restorative dentistry include?
Restorative dentistry covers an assortment of dental services that replace and repair teeth. At J Michael Krischke DDS, we offer a number of restorative dentistry treatments, like tooth-colored fillings, root canal treatment, dental crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants. There is no dental issue too small or too large that restorative dentistry can't manage.
How much does restorative dentistry cost?
Because restorative dentistry covers such a vast array of services, the range of cost is just as extensive. Once you've come in for an initial assessment and we've taken a set of digital images, we can provide you an accurate idea of the cost involved for your dental work. We urge you to call us to set up an appointment so we can start fixing your smile.
What is advanced restorative dentistry?
Advanced restorative dentistry describes complex treatments developed to repair substantial damage to your teeth. This kind of dental work exceeds an easy filling in regard to its capability to revive teeth. It could consist of placing a number of dental implants and attaching dentures or a set of fixed teeth to them, or perhaps performing a dental reconstruction to replace all your teeth.
Should I fix a chipped tooth if it doesn't hurt?
It's worth having it checked. A small enamel chip may only need smoothing or bonding, while a deeper fracture can weaken the tooth. Pain isn't always a reliable measure of how serious the damage is.
What happens if I wait to repair a broken tooth?
The break can grow, bacteria may enter the tooth, or the remaining structure may fracture under normal chewing pressure. Treating it earlier may preserve more natural tooth and keep the repair simpler.
Can restorative dentistry make my teeth look better too?
Yes. Restorative treatment focuses on health and function, but modern tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, and implant restorations can also create very natural-looking results.
What happens if I don't replace a missing tooth?
Nearby teeth may drift toward the open space, and the opposing tooth can move because it no longer has anything to bite against. Bone in the empty area also tends to shrink over time.
Can restorative dentistry help me chew more comfortably?
Definitely. Broken, painful, or missing teeth often make people chew on one side or avoid certain foods. Repairing damaged teeth and replacing missing ones can make the bite feel more balanced.
