When a tooth hurts due to a cavity, or if an injury cracks or chips a tooth, then you need restoration. With our approach to restorative dentistry, we can provide fillings and crowns to ensure lifelike repair. In today’s blog, your team at Mansfield Dental Associates talks about how we repair smiles with our custom dental restorations.
The Risks of Tooth Decay and Injuries
When a tooth is cracked, chipped, or broken, then this is an injury that needs restorative dentistry to avoid not only changes to the appearance of your smile, but impacts on your overall health and function too. Restorative dentistry can also allow us to treat tooth decay and even infection to prevent teeth from aching and require extraction, or becoming lost on their own. With these procedures, we can help your smile stay whole and beautiful, with results that blend easily with the rest of your smile!
Dental Fillings
If you have a cavity, then we could help with restorative dentistry. Using a dental filling, we can stop discomfort and also prevent the onset of a dental infection. Instead of a metal material, we will use a lifelike composite resin, which we shade to blend with the rest of your smile. The same material can also be used in a dental bonding procedure to mask cosmetic imperfections and even repair minor injuries.
We will start by numbing the tooth and then remove the decay. We next clean the tooth and apply the composite resin in several layers. The material is color-matched to blend with the tooth. We then shape the tooth as the material cures under a light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance. In one visit, we can offer relief and lifelike results!
Custom Crowns
If you have a more severe injury or a tooth with tooth decay too advanced for a filling to tackle, we could help with a dental crown. The restoration will be custom-made to ensure it looks natural and matches the rest of your smile. At the same time, this will be made from durable materials that can handle daily bite forces. We will place the crown onto the tooth, and it will blend with the smile, lasting for years to come with proper care and attention.
If a tooth is infected, we could conduct a root canal before we cap it with a crown, keeping your smile whole and comfortable!
