Benefits of Restorative Dentistry

Improved Oral Function

If you have missing or damaged teeth, you may experience more difficulty with chewing, speaking, and performing normal daily activities. Westdale Dental can help you regain these functions and maintain the health of your teeth.

Eliminate Mouth Pain

Tooth decay, oral infection, and fractured teeth can cause you a lot of pain. Relieve pain by eliminating the infection source and conserving the natural structure of the tooth.

Long-Lasting Results

With proper oral hygiene habits and routine visits to your dental professionals, restorative dentistry procedures can have long-lasting results. Crowns and bridges, made from durable materials like zirconia or porcelain, can last 10–15 years or longer with proper care. Dental implants, with proper maintenance, can last a lifetime and help preserve jawbone density. Fillings are used to repair cavities by removing decay and filling the area with tooth-colored composite material, preventing further damage.

Dental Restoration Recovery Time

The recovery time of your procedure can depend on what is needed to restore your teeth. There is typically no recovery period after getting a tooth filled, a crown, or a bridge, and normal activity can be resumed immediately. However, a root canal, dental implant, or dentures may require a longer recovery time. The professionals at Westdale Dental will inform you on what to expect following your specific procedure.
