Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dentistry
1. What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental issues such as cavities, tooth loss, and damaged teeth. It includes procedures like fillings, crowns, implants, and dentures to restore your smile’s functionality and appearance.
2. How long do restorative dental treatments last?
The longevity of restorative dental treatments varies depending on the procedure. For example, dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care, while fillings and crowns may need replacement after several years. Dr. Hernandez will help guide you on the best options for your specific needs.
3. Are dental implants painful?
Dental implants are typically performed under local anesthesia, so you should not experience pain during the procedure. Afterward, some discomfort and swelling are normal, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients find the recovery process to be relatively straightforward.
4. Can restorative dentistry help if I have missing teeth?
Yes! Restorative dentistry offers multiple solutions for replacing missing teeth, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures. Dr. Hernandez will work with you to determine the best option for your specific needs, ensuring your smile looks natural and functions properly.
5. How do I know if I need a crown or filling?
If you have a cavity or damaged tooth, Dr. Hernandez will assess the extent of the damage during your exam. A filling is typically used for small cavities, while a crown may be necessary for more extensive decay or damage to restore the tooth’s strength and appearance.
