When a tooth begins to hurt, or if one sustains an injury, then treatment is needed to avoid worsening pain or even tooth loss. We can offer this care with restorative dentistry. In today’s blog, Smith Family Dentistry in Greenville, TX, talks about how we ensure lifelike repair with restorative dentistry!
The Need for Restorative Dental Care
What are common signs you may need restorative dentistry? If you have developed painful sensitivity in a tooth, or a toothache, and the pain persists for more than a day, then you may need a restoration for tooth decay, or possibly care for an infection. If a tooth is cracked or chipped, even if this injury appears minor, then care is needed to avoid cavities or infection down the road. We want to stop the pain, prevent the factors that lead to tooth loss, and also ensure the finished result looks natural and blend with your smile. With digital imaging in the planning process and dental sedation, we also want to ensure the entire process is comfortable and convenient for you too!
Dental Fillings
When people come to us with a cavity, we could offer a filling to help. Our team can use a composite resin for a teal-free and lifelike solution to tooth decay, one that only takes one visit to secure, stopping discomfort and blending with the smile in the process.
Same-Day Crowns
If you need a crown for more severe injuries or decay, we could cap the tooth with a lifelike one that blends with the smile. Not only that, but we could do so in the same visit! Our team can use digital technology to plan and design a crown, and then we could craft it in only one visit. When the crown is ready, we can attach it with a powerful bonding agent, all in the same sitting.
Root Canal Treatment
If a tooth is infected, then we could stop the pain and prevent the risk of tooth loss with a root canal. This gentle and effective procedure allows us to comfortably open the tooth and remove the infected tissues from within the tooth. We then clean the inside of the tooth and add a special filling material. Finally, we cap the tooth with a dental crown that blends with the smile.
