Restorative Dentistry 

When you think of preventive dentistry, brushing, flossing and professional cleanings probably come to mind. However, it also involves addressing dental concerns as soon as they arise in order to prevent more costly issues in the future. That’s where restorative dentistry steps in.

What Is Restorative Dentistry?

When teeth are weakened or damaged, they need restorative dentistry to repair or replace them. These treatments restore teeth, thus improving oral function and dental health.

Common reasons for restorative dentistry:

  • Cavities
  • Fractured or cracked teeth 
  • Damaged or broken teeth
  • Missing teeth 
  • Oral pain 
  • Loss of oral function

Common restorative dentistry treatments: 

  • Composite fillings
  • Dental crowns
  • Dental bridges
  • Full and partial dentures
  • Dental implants

A Focus on Function and Health

As opposed to cosmetic dentistry, restorative dental care is dedicated to regaining function before aesthetics. (Improvements to the look of your smile are just a positive perk.) When creating a restorative dentistry treatment plan, we focus on preserving natural tooth structure and rebuilding it to a healthy status. This may involve adding composite filling to the existing tooth or capping it with a dental crown. In some cases, if the tooth cannot be saved, we may recommend replacing it with a dental implant.

Preventing Future Dental Issues

If left untreated, damaged teeth can crack and open the door for tooth decay, cavities and the need for a root canal to remove infection. Similarly, tooth loss can lead to teeth shifting around the gap and a change in your bite (or where your teeth meet). Once a tooth is lost, the tooth root no longer stimulates healthy jawbone growth. This can cause bone loss and eventually, additional tooth loss.


Now for the solutions: by restoring your smile with a tooth replacement option like a dental bridge or dental implant, you can prevent surrounding teeth from shifting. Dental implants are also made of titanium or ceramic “roots” or posts that are placed directly in your jawbone. They pick up where your natural tooth roots left off by stimulating proper bone growth and restoring a healthy foundation for surrounding teeth. Plus, by receiving dental fillings, you can fortify your teeth and prevent infection from spreading.

Improving Overall Health

Restorative dentistry doesn’t just renew your oral health, but your overall health as well. Dental infections left untreated can spread throughout the body, leading to systemic health conditions like diabetes and heart disease. When your bite shifts or you have missing, damaged or painful teeth, it can be difficult to speak, eat or live a healthy lifestyle. We strive to offer restorative dentistry in Tomball, TX that encourages a balanced smile and life. With full dental function and proper oral health, you can take a confident bite into those crunchy carrots and apples and enjoy a more nutritious diet. Many of our patients at Foundations Family Dentistry also share how they regain a more positive outlook on their lives, boosting their self-image and overall quality of life.
