Restorative Dentistry Auburn MA Restorative dentistry focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating oral health issues related to damaged, decayed, or missing teeth and their supporting structures. The primary goal of restorative dentistry is to restore the function, aesthetics, and health of a patient's mouth, allowing them to eat, speak, and smile comfortably. At D.A.

These services can help you regain a functional and attractive smile while ensuring the longevity of your oral well-being. Restorative dentistry ProceduresRestorative dentistry procedures can encompass a wide range of treatments, including the following: Dental FillingsDental fillings are dental restorations used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay (cavities) or to restore teeth that have suffered minor fractures or damage. The purpose of a dental filling is to remove the damaged or decayed portion of a tooth and fill the resulting cavity with a suitable dental material. Common materials used include composite resin, amalgam, and ceramic. The filling procedure helps to restore the tooth's function, strength, and appearance while preventing further decay or damage. Dental CrownsAlso known as caps, dental crowns are placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. They can be made from various materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination of both. Dental BridgeA dental bridge is a fixed appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Dental bridges rely on the support of the teeth next to them. DenturesDentures are removable prosthetic devices used to replace multiple missing teeth and restore the function and appearance of the mouth. They can be full (complete) dentures or partial dentures, depending on the number of missing teeth. Root Canal TherapyRoot canal therapy is performed to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp. The pulp is the innermost part of the tooth. It involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning the root canal, and sealing it to prevent further infection from developing. Periodontal CarePeriodontal care focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of gum (periodontal) disease. In the beginning stage, it is gingivitis, which can be reversed. The later stage of gum disease, referred to as periodontitis can only be treated, unfortunately not cured. Treatments may include scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) and surgical procedures to restore gum health.
