Restorative dentistry is about more than smile aesthetics. It also considers how your teeth and jaw joints function and your long-term oral comfort.
At Gordon Dental Associates, my team and I offer comprehensive restorative dentistry in St. Augustine, FL, to ensure our patients love their smiles and enjoy optimal oral health.
What Is Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry includes the methods I use to restore your smile when teeth are damaged, compromised, or missing. For example, a tooth-colored filling is a restoration used to treat cavities.
Restorative Dentistry Options and Benefits
My maintenance restoration options include:
- Tooth-Colored Fillings
- Dental Veneers
- Dental Crowns
Note that these options address cosmetic issues while also improving functionality.
My missing teeth restoration options include:
- Single Dental Implants
- Implant Bridges and Dentures
- Traditional Dental Bridges
Restoration Results: What You Can Expect
Restoration placement is not painful. Rather, it is a way to protect or enhance your tooth.
First, I treat the tooth. Then, I take impressions for restoration fabrication. In some cases, I can print your restoration right here in my dental office using CEREC technology (same-day crowns).
Once your restoration is ready, I make final adjustments before cementing it into place over your tooth.
Following restorations or tooth replacement, you’re free to enjoy your favorite foods right away.
Taking Care of Your Restorations
I recommend the following:
- Brush and floss your teeth at least twice daily.
- Visit my dental office for checkups and teeth cleanings every six months.
- Talk to my team if you suspect nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism).
- Avoid biting into sticky foods with your restored tooth.
- Talk to me immediately if your crown feels loose or damaged.
