The goal of restorative dentistry is to restore your teeth to a functional and attractive state while also preserving as much of natural teeth as possible. Replacing your missing teeth with a dental implant, bridge, full or partial denture helps promote dental health as well as creating a more attractive smile. Allowing empty spaces in your smile can allow plaque-causing bacteria to build up, increasing your risk of tooth decay, and also cause erosion of jawbone and gum tissues. Missing teeth also place additional stress on your remaining natural teeth because there is less surface area to bite and chew with, so replacing teeth helps your remaining natural teeth stay healthy.
When you and your dentist are planning your restorative dentistry plan, you will need to consider both your health and your budget. Most dentists will try to preserve your remaining natural teeth if possible before advocating for full or partial dentures so you won’t have to remove and clean the devices regularly. However, sometimes full or partial dentures are the best option if you are missing many teeth and you’re not a good candidate for dental implants due to other health issues such as a lack of sufficient healthy supporting bone tissue.
Because of the variety of dental treatments available for dental restoration, you now have many different options for repairing worn, decayed, damaged or missing teeth and restoring your smile.
