The Benefits of Dental Restoration for Your Oral Health

When your mouth has been worn down due to years of wear and tear, dental restoration can help you get your smile back and improve your oral health. Even if we do not think about it, we rely on our teeth, tongue, gums, jaw, and throat for more than we realize, and keeping all these parts healthy is important to how we feel and our quality of life. When we suffer damage to our mouths or the loss of teeth, it is important to get to a dentist right away to find out what can be done to fix the damage.

Thanks to how advanced dental technology has gotten in recent years, there is now a way to fix just about any problem you may have with your oral health, but it all starts with that first visit and consultation with your dentist. The longer you wait, the more difficult it is to repair the damage and get back a healthy smile, so stop in today.

What is dental restoration?

If you have never heard of restoration as a part of dentistry, you will be happy to know that it exists to fix the damage a patient’s mouth has suffered. Whether you have been in an accident and need oral surgery, need teeth replaced, treatment for a disease, or something else entirely, a restoration solution is available for you.

The process starts with a consultation and forming a plan to fix your dental health issues. The dentist will examine you to determine what shape your mouth is in. They will discuss treatment options and techniques for fixing the damage.

The choices for your restoration plan will be based on your comfort level and your restoration goals.

For instance, if you are missing many of your teeth and would like to have a more permanent solution to replace those missing teeth, you may opt for dental implants to restore your smile. This option requires oral surgery and long recovery but gives you permanent teeth that are stronger and more durable than even your natural teeth.

Other types of treatments in a dental restoration include straightening teeth that are misaligned, whitening discolored teeth, applying crowns and fillings, and setting a patient up with any dental equipment they need.

How long can I expect my restoration to take?

A full restoration can take several months or more to complete. The total time it takes depends on how much work is needed, the type of treatments chosen, and the amount of recovery time for different treatments.

Generally, the priority for the dentist will be to fix any major health issues like infection or ongoing gum disease before restoring missing teeth, providing appliances, or doing cosmetic work. If treatments need to be performed to fix things like gum disease or damage to root systems, this must be treated and allowed to heal before moving on to the next stage of the restoration.
