What does the Restorative dentistry do?

Restorative dentistry focused on restoring the function and appearance of damaged or missing teeth. It involves various treatments and procedures to repair teeth affected by decay, trauma, wear, or other dental issues. Restorative dentistry aims to improve oral health, restore natural tooth structure, and enhance the overall aesthetics of the smile. Common restorative procedures include dental fillings, veneers, crowns.

What steps are followed in Restorative dentistry treatment?

In restorative dentistry treatment, the following steps are typically followed:

• Examination and Diagnosis:
  

  1 The dentist examines the patient's teeth and oral health to assess the extent of damage or decay. X-rays and other diagnostic tools may be used to aid in the assessment.

• Treatment Planning:
  

  2 Based on the examination, the dentist develops a treatment plan that outlines the specific restorative procedures required to address the dental issues.

• Tooth Preparation:
  

  3 If necessary, the damaged or decayed part of the tooth is removed, creating a clean surface for the restoration.

• Restoration Placement:
  

  4 The chosen restorative material (e.g., dental fillings, crowns, bridges) is applied to the prepared tooth structure to restore its function and appearance.

• Bite Adjustment:
  

  5 The dentist ensures that the restoration fits correctly with the patient's bite and makes any necessary adjustments for comfort and functionality.

• Final Polishing:
  

  6 The restoration is polished to achieve a smooth and natural appearance, blending in with the surrounding teeth.

• Follow-Up:
  

  7 After the restorative treatment, the dentist may schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the success of the restoration and address any concerns or issues that may arise.
