Restorative dentistry is a dental focus on restoring missing tooth structure, functionality, and smile aesthetics. This may involve repairing damage, replacing missing teeth, treating tooth decay, gum disease, and infections, or preventing other consequences of tooth loss.
Using advanced dental technology and durable materials, we can save a tooth from extraction by treating it to reverse oral health problems like tooth decay, gum disease, and dental trauma. Missing teeth can be replaced, damaged teeth can be filled or rebuilt, and you can enjoy your smile again without worrying about gaps or chips in your teeth.
When your teeth are unhealthy, you may struggle to speak clearly or chew your food, which is why restorative treatments focus on restoring this lost functionality through repairs and replacement with high-quality materials.
At White Dental Spa, our Dallas dentist will examine your teeth during a consultation and take x-rays to look for signs of oral health problems. Anything that can’t be detected with the naked eye can be revealed through high-definition digital scans or probing gum tissues.
Once a diagnosis has been made, we will formulate a treatment plan based on your needs. This may involve replacing missing teeth, treating an infection, repairing a chipped tooth, or filling a tooth with a cavity. We will discuss all of your options with you so you can make a decision about your treatment preferences and whether you would like to be sedated for the procedure.
Then, we will schedule your appointments and accept payment. With any minimally invasive treatment, we will always administer a local anesthetic to numb your mouth before getting started. This prevents you from feeling any pain.
Depending on the treatment, you may only require one appointment or need several. This will be discussed during your consultation and we will inform you if there is any preparation necessary on your part. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with one of our dentists.
A dental filling is used to repair damage or missing portions of the tooth after drilling away natural tooth structure to treat decay. We use tooth-colored composite resin to fill the teeth because this biocompatible material blends in with your natural smile and is mercury-free. We can preserve more of the natural tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings and they harden instantly.
We offer deep cleanings and laser gum treatment to prevent and treat gum disease. When gum disease first develops, it is reversible and causes mild symptoms. However, it can easily go undetected and develop into periodontitis, where it leads to irreversible soft tissue damage and bone loss.
Gum pockets deepen, trapping more plaque and tartar and in the later stages, your teeth become loose and can even fall out. A deep cleaning involves scaling below the gum line and smoothing out the tooth roots so we can reattach the gums.
As a dental office with soft tissue lasers, we can treat gum inflammation with more precision and no pain as an alternative to oral surgery. This does not require any anesthetic, needles, or invasive tools.
A dental crown is used to protect a tooth that has been damaged, decayed, broken, or weakened by covering all sides of the tooth with strong and durable materials. Crowns can restore a tooth that has been damaged or cover up cosmetic problems with a tooth. Teeth with large fillings or that have undergone root canal treatment are more vulnerable to breakage and need to be protected.
When tooth decay is left untreated, it travels into the deeper layers of the tooth. Once decay reaches the dental pulp, it causes inflammation and infection which can be painful. The infection needs to be treated by removing the infected pulp and roots and filling it with a special material to save the tooth from extraction. Tooth infections do not go away on their own and can cause serious health problems and spread to the other teeth if left untreated.
A partial denture replaces one or a few missing teeth in an arch to restore smile aesthetics and tooth functionality, and prevent the teeth from shifting. Much like a dental bridge, it fills in the gaps in the smile, but partial dentures can fill in spaces on both sides of the mouth with one denture. They are also removable instead of fixed and are held in place by metal clasps that hook around the abutment teeth.
A full denture is used to treat severe tooth loss when most of the teeth in the mouth are missing. An impression is taken of your mouth to create a custom-fit denture that replaces all of the teeth. Your remaining teeth will first need to be extracted. After trying on some dentures set in wax, we will make adjustments until your official denture has been created. This is held in place through suction and can restore a patient’s ability to chew, speak clearly, and feel confident in their smile.
