You don't have to live with missing, cracked, or chipped teeth. At Fountains Dental Excellence in Roseville, we're here to help restore your smile, improve your oral health, and give you the confidence to smile again.
What Is Dental Restoration?
Dental restorations are designed to repair and restore teeth that have been damaged by decay, injury, wear, or other dental concerns. Restorative treatments can help bring back the strength, function, and appearance of your teeth while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.
​
Whether you have a cavity, a chipped or fractured tooth, a damaged filling, or a missing tooth, there are several restorative options available. Depending on the condition of your teeth and your individual treatment goals, your dentist may recommend a direct or indirect restoration. Call us today to get started or learn more.
Dental Fillings for Damaged Teeth
Dental fillings are a common way to repair teeth affected by cavities or minor damage. Your dentist removes the damaged portion of the tooth and replaces it with a tooth-colored material designed to restore its strength, function, and appearance.
​
Fillings can also help prevent decay from progressing and protect the tooth from further damage. If you have a cavity or damaged tooth, your Roseville, CA, dentist can determine whether a dental filling is the right solution for you.
Crowns, Bridges, and Other Restorative Treatments
When a tooth has more extensive damage or needs additional support, a dental crown or another restorative treatment may be recommended. These restorations are custom-made to fit your smile and can help restore the strength, function, and appearance of your teeth.
​
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is designed to fit over a damaged or weakened tooth, helping protect it while restoring its shape and function. Crowns may be recommended for teeth that have significant decay, cracks, large fillings, or other damage that cannot be adequately repaired with a filling.
​
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge can replace one or more missing teeth by using the surrounding teeth or dental implants to support a custom restoration. Bridges can help restore your ability to chew and speak while filling the space left by missing teeth.
​
Other Restorative Options
Depending on your needs, your dentist may also recommend other treatments, including inlays, onlays, or dental implants. The right solution depends on the condition of your teeth, your oral health, and your individual treatment goals.
Who Can Benefit From Dental Restorations?
Dental restorations can benefit patients with a variety of dental concerns. You may benefit from restorative treatment if you have:
​
-
A cavity or tooth decay
-
A chipped or fractured tooth
-
A weakened or worn tooth
-
A damaged or failing filling
-
Significant tooth wear from grinding
-
A missing tooth or multiple missing teeth
​
The right treatment depends on the type, location, and extent of the damage. During your examination, one of our Roseville dentists, Dr. Radu or Dr. Gustavson, will evaluate your teeth and discuss your options with you.
​
For teeth with minor damage, a filling may be all that's needed. Teeth with more extensive damage may require a restoration such as a crown, root canal, or bridge to provide additional support and protection.
DENTAL RESTORATION WHEN THE DAMAGE IS NOT VISIBLE
Can a Tooth Need Treatment If It Doesn’t Hurt?
Yes. A tooth doesn't have to hurt to need treatment. Cavities, cracks, and other dental problems often develop without noticeable symptoms, and waiting until a tooth becomes painful may allow the damage to become more extensive.
​
Treating a problem early can help prevent further damage and preserve more of your natural tooth. Depending on the condition of the tooth, your dentist may recommend a filling, inlay, onlay, crown, or another restoration to strengthen and protect it.
Dental Restoration FAQs
There are several types of dental restorations, and the right option depends on the condition of your tooth and your individual needs. Common restorative treatments include dental fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, dental implants, and dental bonding. During your examination, your dentist will evaluate your teeth and recommend the treatment that can best restore your smile.
The best treatment depends on the amount of damage and the amount of healthy tooth structure that remains. Dental fillings are generally used to repair cavities and smaller areas of damage, while crowns are often recommended when a tooth is significantly weakened or needs additional protection. Your dentist can evaluate the tooth and help determine which option is appropriate.
The main difference is how much of the tooth the restoration covers. An inlay fits within the grooves of a tooth and is typically used when the damage does not extend to the tooth's cusps. An onlay covers a larger portion of the tooth and may extend over one or more cusps, providing additional support for a more extensively damaged tooth.
Many modern dental restorations are designed to look natural and blend in with your smile. Tooth-colored fillings, ceramic crowns, and other restorations can be matched to the appearance of your natural teeth. Your dentist will consider the location of the restoration and your aesthetic goals when recommending materials.
The lifespan of a dental restoration depends on the type of restoration, the tooth being treated, your oral hygiene, and other factors. Good brushing and flossing habits, regular dental visits, and avoiding habits that can damage your teeth can all help extend the life of your restoration.
