No matter whether you are dealing with tooth loss from gum disease or an injury caused you to crack a tooth, there are many issues that can affect the overall health and appearance of your smile. Luckily, our Overland Park, KS, general dentist Dr. Michelle Deutch understands that every smile requires unique and individualized treatments to get smiles back on track. Find out how restorative dentistry could help you.

What is restorative dentistry?
While cosmetic dentistry focuses on providing a dental restoration that improves the aesthetics and overall appearance of your smile, restorative dentistry is designed to fix dental problems such as cracked or fractured teeth, or weak or missing teeth. The goal of restorative dentistry is to fix structural issues to strengthen your smile for the long term.

What types of restorative dentistry are available in Overland Park, KS?
There are many ways in which we can help revive your smile through restorative dentistry. Some of the most common dental restorations include:

  • Dental Fillings
  • Porcelain Crowns
  • Bridges
  • Dental implants
  • Full-mouth restoration

A filling is the best way to restore a tooth after a cavity. Of course, if there is extensive damage to the tooth a filling might not be enough to support the tooth. In this case, a dental crown will be placed over the tooth.

A dental crown is one of the most versatile dental restorations because it can serve both cosmetic and restorative purposes and it can be used to protect a weak or damaged tooth, it can support a dental bridge and it can even cover a dental implant.

A dental bridge is used to replace a single missing tooth or two teeth in a row. Of course, for a dental bridge to be the right option for you we will need to make sure that the two teeth surrounding the gap are strong enough to support crowns.

If you are missing one, multiple or even all of your teeth and you want a restoration that can last the rest of your life with the proper care then dental implants might be the best way to go. Implants function and look just like real teeth, but they do require surgery. While the process to get implants can take up to one year, these tooth replacements have the longest lifespan and really are the next best thing to real teeth.
