Why Do I Need Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dental treatment can replace missing teeth, fix tooth damage, and treat tooth and gum infections. Our restorative treatments can help you if you have one or more dental problems affecting your everyday comfort. Restorative dentistry in our Cedar Park, TX office can improve speech, bite function, and confidence.

With restorative dentistry, we can:

  • Restore one or more missing teeth
  • Prevent gum damage
  • Repair decayed teeth
  • Correct an uneven bite
  • Protect damaged teeth

With care, it’s possible to prevent the need for restorative dental treatment. To protect your smile:

  • Wear a properly fitted mouthguard during contact sports
  • Do not use your teeth to open objects
  • Drink enough water every day
  • Avoid directly biting on hard objects
  • Eat a balanced diet
  • Brush and floss twice a day
  • Visit the dentist regularly 

Caring for your dental health can prevent the need for restorative care. Cleaning your teeth and gums daily with a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste can prevent bacterial buildup. Harmful bacteria can break down your teeth and gums. 

Making regular dental visits can also stop these problems. Our dental hygienists can provide thorough cleanings that remove bacteria from hard-to-reach areas.

If you notice any change in the comfort or health of your teeth and gums, contact our office. Emergency dentistry can also prevent the need for more intensive dental care.

Treating restorative dental problems early can prevent the need for more complex treatment. For example, receiving a dental implant immediately after losing a tooth can prevent many problems. Missing teeth can lead to shifting teeth, tooth decay, and further loss.

Restorative Dentistry in Cedar Park, TX

Our restorative dental treatments help patients with missing, damaged, and infected teeth. With these services, our office can renew patient’s oral health: 

Dental Crowns

Crowns are tooth-colored caps that completely cover a weak or damaged tooth and restore its appearance and functionality. Dental crowns cover injured, damaged, worn, weakened, and discolored teeth fully. These restorations can also cover dental implants and natural teeth adjacent to a tooth gap to secure a dental bridge. 

While traditional crowns use gold or metal materials, we recommend porcelain crowns. These crowns are strong and blend in with the look of other teeth.

Dental Bridges

Bridges replace rows of missing teeth. Our office uses dental crowns or implants to secure dental bridges. Traditional dental bridges provide minimally invasive restorative treatment. However, dental implants ensure that bridges last longer without re-cementing dental crowns. 

While traditional and implant-supported bridges improve the bite, implants support the gums and bone. Traditional bridges lay on the gums and require crowns 

Dental Implants

One or more dental implants provide a stable tooth replacement option. During treatment, we place a metal implant in the jaw bone. Over time, the implant heals and fuses with the jawbone. Then, we attach a natural-looking restoration to the implant to complete the treatment.

Implants ensure crowns, bridges, and dentures last longer than traditional options. Once you heal from implant surgery, you can care for your restorations like natural teeth.

Full and Partial Dentures

Partial and complete dentures fill in gaps left by multiple missing teeth. A partial denture can replace rows of missing teeth in different smile parts. Complete dentures replace the upper and lower tooth arches. Dentures can lay on the gums or use implants for support.

Dental implants can prevent dentures from slipping around the mouth. Implant-supported dentures attach to multiple implants that we secure throughout the arch. We provide complete and partial dentures to Cedar Park, TX.

Oral Surgery

Vista Ridge Family Dentistry offers tooth removal, implants, and bone and gum grafting procedures. In addition, we can provide bone and gum grafting to any areas that need additional bone or gum tissue. Oral surgery restores the health and function of the teeth and gums.

Our oral surgeons have a Doctorate in Dental Surgery from the University of Texas Health Science Center. They can replace missing teeth and restore bone and gum health.

Gum Disease Treatment

Our office can treat gum disease with regular deep cleanings. Treatments like scaling and root planing benefit patients with mild to moderate gum disease. Scaling can remove the built-up bacteria that collects in the gum pockets. Root planing smooths the tooth roots. This helps the gums reattach to the teeth.

Deep gum cleanings can reverse gum damage and renew health. We recommend these cleanings regularly if you have chronic gum problems. To learn more about gum disease and how we can help you, see Periodontal Disease Treatment.

What is a Full Mouth Reconstruction?

A full mouth reconstruction uses restorative treatments to enhance oral health. You can benefit from these treatments if you have multiple dental problems. These problems can include gum disease, tooth loss, or tooth damage.

We will work with you to prepare for multiple restorative treatments. First, we will provide an exam. We will consult with you and take dental X-rays to find problems we cannot see with a visual exam. Then, we will consider your dental history, budget, and goals. 

We will first treat problems like gum disease and infected teeth. Once you are healthy, we treat problems like missing and damaged teeth. Whether you need one or more restorative treatments, the results will make the time to complete treatment worth it.
