The right restorative procedures at the right time can reduce the need for additional dental work in the future.

What is Restorative Dentistry?

As its name suggests, restorative dentistry is all about restoring the teeth so that they are once again functional. Over time, wear and tear, trauma, and decay can impact one’s quality of life, making it tough to do basic tasks like eating, speaking, and smiling. There are so many different procedures that allow dental professionals to restore bite alignment, bite force, and more. And, perhaps one of the biggest opportunities to arise is the ability to save natural teeth rather than extract them.

Restorative dentistry focuses more on the functionality of teeth, rather than appearance, as it strives to transform teeth - and transform lives. When paired with preventative care like routine cleanings and dental care visits, restorative treatment helps residents throughout Nassau County maintain a healthy smile and strong dental health for years to come. 

Benefits of Restorative Dentistry

Because teeth are being restored, many benefits stem from restorative dentistry - especially for those patients who have suffered for years due to the inability to seek treatment. A few of these benefits include:

  • Less pain and discomfort
  • The ability to enjoy foods you once enjoyed
  • Enhanced appearance of teeth - and overall appearance
  • Removing and healing tooth decay
  • Improved dental structure
  • Reduction in future potential oral health issues
  • Support for long-term oral health and overall well being

FAQs

Does dental insurance cover restorative dentistry procedures?

Yes, restorative procedures are commonly covered, at least in part, by dental insurance. It is important to note that every insurance policy is different - and it is important to check your own coverage benefits.

Isn’t it easier to just extract a tooth?

Extracting a tooth is always a dentist’s last resort - especially since there are no replacements that are as good as your natural tooth. Restorative procedures are very extensive in their ability to treat all sorts of dental issues. For those few instances when it can’t, extraction may be the best option.

Can restorative dentistry repair a broken tooth?

Yes, it can. Broken teeth, as well as those that are chipped, cracked, and fractured can all benefit from restorative dentistry. Bonding and dental crowns can help restore the integrity of the tooth and reduce the risk of further damage.
