What Happens During Restorative Dentistry Visit?
At My London Skin Clinic we understand that visiting the dentist can be a bit daunting, especially if you’re unsure about what the process involves. To help put your mind at ease, here is what you can expect during your oral restoration appointment:
Firstly, our highly skilled dentist will start by going through a thorough painless exam of your oral health needs. This step is crucial as this enables them to understand and assess the conditions of your teeth and gums. At this stage the dentist will identify any underlying issues that may require attention. From there, a tailored personalized treatment plan will be discussed with you, to ensure that you’re well-informed and ready for the journey to a healthier smile.
Types Of Restorative Procedures?
Let us discuss some of the common dental restorative procedures and their benefits.
Fillings: Dental fillings help treat cavities, restore tooth function and prevent further decay. Tooth-colored options like composite resin and porcelain are available to ensure all fillings blend in with your natural teeth.
Crowns: A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that cover and protect damaged/ weak teeth. We also use these crowns to cover dental implants and root canal- treated teeth to improve the shape, size, and strengthen the teeth.
Bridges: Bridges are a great way to bridge the gaps between missing teeth. These are false tooth which anchors to the neighboring teeth. This will help maintain the alignment of your teeth and restore your smile.
Implants: Implants are a great permanent and durable solution for missing teeth. They resemble and feel like natural teeth. The implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing solid support for the new teeth.
Dentures: Depending on how many teeth need replacing, dentures are a great option to replace those missing teeth with removable dentures. These oral appliances include full, partial and implant-supported dentures.
