Benefits of Restorative Dentistry Services
Solutions For Missing Teeth | A dental crown or dental bridge are common solutions for many people who have one or more missing teeth. We may recommend these to repair or replace damaged teeth to restore your smile.
Oral Health | Many medical professionals believe that dental problems can often be the precursor to other serious health concerns (gum disease has been tied to heart disease by some). Restorative dentistry is an important preventive measure to avoid future problems.
Improve Appearance | If you’ve been suffering with any number of unsightly oral issues, restorative dentistry can truly be a life changing solution and make you feel incredible about how you look and feel.
”I first came to Cary Family Dental after feeling rejected, confused, and overwhelmed by multiple other cosmetic dentists. Office after office, I didn’t feel like my questions were answered nor did I feel like the offices cared at all. This was not the case with Cary Family Dental. From the first phone call to the after pictures, I felt like the staff and Dr. Acton truly wanted what was best for me and listened to my concerns. Dr. Acton took the time to answer any questions I had in great detail and walk me through the entire procedure. He did not hesitate to give me his professional opinion nor seem frustrated by my questions. I used to absolutely hate my smile and shy away from pictures. Now, I am much more confident and I feel like a new person. I will be continuing to see Dr. Acton and his team for all dental needs I may have.

Dental Bridges
What is a Dental Bridge?
While there are multiple types of dental bridges, at its core a dental bridge’s function is to span the gap left by a missing tooth or missing teeth. A dental bridge is a false tooth (also known as a pontic) that is held in place via abutments secured to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. Dental bridges are comprised of porcelain that is fused to metal.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges have a number of benefits:
- Improved chewing
- Improved speaking
- Maintenance of your face’s natural shape
- Prevention of teeth shifting
- Improved appearance
Dental Fillings
What are dental fillings?
A tooth colored filling builds back missing tooth structure to its original form. A filling is a mixture of a tooth colored resin with clear glass particles that give it strength.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings have a number of benefits:
- Restore tooth structure and prevent further decay.
- Relieve pain and sensitivity.
- Improve oral health and prevent complications.
- Enhance aesthetics with tooth-colored options.
- Offer durability and long-lasting results.
- Preserve tooth function and alignment.
- Require minimal removal of tooth structure compared to other treatments.
Restorative Dentistry FAQ’s
What is restorative dentistry, and how does it differ from cosmetic dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and restoring the function and structure of teeth that have been damaged by decay, trauma, or wear. It aims to address oral health issues and restore proper dental function. Cosmetic dentistry, on the other hand, primarily focuses on enhancing the appearance of the teeth and smile.
What are some common restorative dentistry procedures?
Common restorative dentistry procedures include dental fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, root canal therapy, dentures, inlays and onlays, and dental bonding. These treatments are designed to repair damaged teeth, replace missing teeth, and restore oral health and function.
How do dental implants compare to other tooth replacement options?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They offer several advantages over other tooth replacement options, such as bridges or dentures, including improved stability, longevity, and preservation of jawbone density. Dental implants also look, feel, and function more like natural teeth.
How long do restorative dentistry procedures typically last?
The longevity of restorative dentistry procedures depends on various factors, including the type of procedure, the materials used, and individual oral hygiene habits. With proper care, dental fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, and other restorations can last for many years or even decades. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing daily, can help prolong the lifespan of restorative dental work.
