Restorative Dentistry

What is restorative dentistry?

When you experience broken or missing teeth due to decay or trauma, restorative dentistry helps you regain your oral health by restoring functionality, strength, and form. Restorative dentistry covers everything from fillings to a replacement of a crown. It also helps improve your appearance by transforming your smile.

When is restorative dentistry needed?

At Orange Coast Dental Specialty, the highly skilled dentists provide the most advanced technology for treatment solutions. Restorative dentistry is needed for several conditions, including:

• Removal of silver fillings
• Gaps between your teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Missing teeth
• Broken teeth

Each treatment is uniquely created to your specific oral health needs. An evaluation and consultation help determine the right dentistry treatment for you.

Is restorative dentistry painful?

Advancements in dentistry have changed how dental procedures are performed. Pain associated with dental procedures has been reduced considerably, allowing you to feel comfortable during treatments. Your dentist administers nitrous oxide or another sedation method, if requested, to make sure that you have a pain-free experience.

You might feel anxious when it comes to having a dental procedure. Rest assured that the practice at Orange Coast Dental Specialty understands your apprehensiveness. That’s why your treatment also involves topical and local anesthetics for numbing your nerves in the area to ensure your procedure is painless. Nitrous oxide or another sedation method also helps you relax and limits anxiety during your restorative dentistry session. The team’s goal is to give you a comfortable and calming dental experience.

What are the benefits of restorative dentistry?

Restoring damaged teeth with advanced treatments has many benefits. Not only is the damage repaired, but the cosmetic benefit can change how you feel about yourself. Benefits include:
