What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry refers to the comprehensive set of procedures designed to repair and restore the health and functionality of your teeth. This field of dentistry encompasses several treatments, such as fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures, all aiming to address various dental issues ranging from minor cavities to severe tooth loss.

The primary goal of restorative dentistry is to preserve natural teeth as much as possible, but in cases where this is not achievable, artificial replacements are used to ensure a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing smile. With modern technological advancements, restorative dental care is more comfortable and efficient than ever, enabling you to regain your confident smile with minimal discomfort.

CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns

One of the many options for restorative dentistry at Dental Designs of Maryland is our Sirona CEREC scanner and milling unit. This is a leading-edge piece of technology that leaves traditional methods behind.

The way that the Sirona CEREC scanner works is as follows:

• The machine creates a 3-D scan of your tooth
• It designs the crown
• The crown is milled right in the exam room
• Our dental expert installs the crown

This digital system means no more temporary crowns or molding putty in your mouth. In one session, you can come into our office with a broken tooth, and thanks to the CEREC system, you can walk out with a brand-new dental crown.

White Fillings and Porcelain Onlays

Dental Designs of Maryland is a mercury-free dental practice. Another outdated treatment method is using metal fillings to replace missing or damaged teeth. Instead of using metal fillings that can weaken and crack teeth over time, our team uses white resin.

Some of their benefits include:

• Customizable to match the shade of your natural teeth
• Minimally invasive, preserving more of your tooth structure
• Chemically bonded to ensure a comfortable and secure fit
• Seamlessly blend in, leaving no trace for others to notice

In some cases, CEREC-made porcelain onlays might be the best way to fit the natural anatomy of the tooth. These onlays are made on-site and precisely match the shape of your teeth, so we can use this digital tool when cavities are larger. Because of the exact fit, you will experience less head, neck, and jaw pain as the teeth work together more efficiently. Your smile will have a rejuvenated look that will surely please you.

Aesthetic Zirconia and Porcelain Dental Crowns

We use modern zirconia and porcelain crowns instead of outdated metal ones. These crowns offer both strength and natural beauty, ensuring a strong structure and a smile you’ll love. Our dental experts will help determine the best restorative dental service for your oral health.

The Importance of Restorative Dentistry Services

Restorative dental care is pivotal in maintaining oral health, improving quality of life, and boosting self-confidence. They are fundamental to preserving and restoring the structure, functionality, and aesthetics of teeth that have been damaged or lost due to decay, injury, or other dental conditions. From fillings and crowns to implants and dentures, these services not only rectify dental irregularities but also prevent potential issues such as misalignment of remaining teeth, difficulties in chewing, and speech problems.

By opting for restorative dental care, patients can ensure the longevity of their teeth, restore their beautiful smile, and enhance their overall oral health. Remember, a healthy mouth is integral to a healthy body and a confident persona.
