Restorative Dentistry Q&A
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry includes services to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth. Without treatment, these problems can cause pain and interfere with your ability to chew and speak.
NYC Dental Wellness and Bergen Dental Wellness provides comprehensive restorative dentistry services to preserve your smile and protect your oral health. The team takes an integrative, holistic approach to restoring the structure of damaged teeth using safe, reliable dental materials.
When should I consider a restorative dentistry appointment?
NYC Dental Wellness and Bergen Dental Wellness specializes in several restorative dentistry services for children and adults who experience tooth loss or damage from injuries, aging, and untreated dental decay or disease.
You should schedule a consultation if you have teeth that are:
- Chipped
- Cracked
- Decayed
- Missing
The team also provides extraction services for severely decayed teeth or for impacted wisdom teeth that cause pain and difficulties chewing.
If you damage or lose a tooth due to an injury, call NYC Dental Wellness and Bergen Dental Wellness right away. With early treatment, the team can often save your natural tooth and prevent complications like infections.
Which restorative dentistry services are available?
NYC Dental Wellness and Bergen Dental Wellness offers personalized restorative dentistry services, including:
Tooth-colored fillings
Tooth-colored fillings repair cavities to prevent painful infections. The team uses a durable dental resin that looks like natural teeth and is free of mercury and other toxins.
Crowns and bridges
A crown is a tooth-covered cap that covers and protects the structure of teeth damaged by injury or decay. A cap can also be an entire artificial tooth attached to a dental implant to replace a lost natural tooth.
A bridge is a dental device that uses an artificial tooth to replace a missing tooth. Dental bridges use two crowns that attach to healthy teeth to bridge the gap of one or more missing teeth.
Partial dentures
Partial dentures use a plastic and metal framework that clips to your healthy teeth to replace one or more missing teeth.
Single-tooth dental implants
A single-tooth dental implant uses an implanted titanium post (dental implant) that fuses with your jawbone to support an artificial tooth.
If you suffer from anxiety about tooth restoration procedures, the NYC Dental Wellness and Bergen Dental Wellness team provides nitrous oxide sedation. This minimal sedation helps you feel safe and comfortable throughout your procedure, easing anxiety and pain. The effect of nitrous oxide wears off within five minutes, so you can return to your routine right away.
