Restorative Dentistry and You

The American Dental Association recommends that dental visits should be done at least every six months. This, however, holds for those who do not have special concerns. Some people require more frequent visits to their dentist in Sullivan & Turner, LLC, our Camden County, NJ, or Somerdale, NJ, offices, Dr. Joseph Sullivan, Dr. Jeff Turner, or Dr. Raj Darji. This is especially true if they are undergoing restorative dentistry procedures. But what is restorative dentistry and how can it help you?

Restorative Dentistry

This encompasses procedures that are designed to ease pain and bring comfort to those who are experiencing oral problems. It is consistently gaining popularity because of its ability to replace lost or damaged teeth. Dental veneers, fillings, dental crowns, and dental bridges all fall under restorative dentistry procedures.

When going through these procedures, the expectation is that normal oral functions will be restored and the associated pain eliminated. So how do you know if you qualify for restorative dentistry procedures? The quick answer is that it depends on the current state of health of your gums and teeth, including the type of restorative procedure you want to get done. Your dentist in our Camden, NJ, or Somerdale, NJ, office is in the best position to establish the best treatment plan for your specific condition.

What to Expect with Restorative Dentistry Treatments

Eliminate Dental Discomfort

A cracked or chipped tooth is annoying at the very least. Worse, it can bring pain and expose your mouth to unhygienic conditions. The longer the problem is left unattended, the worse the condition becomes, until infection inevitably sets in.

Restorative dentistry can preempt all of these problems and bring almost instantaneous comfort. Patching up any damage will breathe new life to your teeth and the restoration of their function and strength.

Prevent Tooth Movement

What is wrong with moving or shifting teeth? This condition could lead to aesthetic and medical problems later on. This translates not only to more oral health problems but also to more expenses. Prompt action, on the other hand, will prevent any oral issue from worsening and improve the chances of saving your tooth with the least expense possible.

Improved Dental Structure

If you lose a tooth, your gums also lose their support. This puts the entire support structure of your mouth in peril, allowing your jawbone to weaken and deteriorate. As the condition progresses, you will see that it will not only affect your mouth but also the entire structure of your face as it begins to sag and collapse on itself, giving you an aged look.

Through restorative dentistry by your Camden County dentist, solutions like dental implants can ensure that your jawbone remains strong to provide ample support to your mouth and face. It also gives you a permanent long-term solution that will protect your natural teeth.
