Being able to enhance your smile’s shine with simple treatment certainly makes it easier to love your grin, but cosmetic dentistry is all but obsolete if your structures are not healthy, to begin with. Indeed, preventive dentistry helps protect your smile from dangerous threats as well as keep them healthy, but it is ineffective against physical injuries that occur out of accidents. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist discusses the need behind restorative dentistry, and how it allows our team to salvage damaged structures so that you can keep your natural grin.

Situations You Cannot Avoid

It goes without saying that dental prevention is the bread and butter of dentistry. Indeed, preventive dentistry usually consists of a multi-step routine that takes into account care at home and in-office. Maintaining a well-rounded routine of brushing twice a day, flossing, paying mind to the negative effects of the foods you consume, and of course, attending necessary checkups and cleanings.

The one area that prevention does not extend, however, involves physical injuries and accidents, as they are unpredictable and mostly unpreventable. Indeed, whether you had a tooth knocked out during an aggressive play in a sports game, or you simply tripped and landed face-first into concrete, additional treatment must be sought to take care of the situation. Fortunately, this is where restoration comes in to help.

Restorative dentistry is the process of mitigating and reversing dental damage through the help of cleaning and rebuilding structures. There are a variety of options that can help you during many different stages, and your dentist will be able to go over your best options with you. To learn more about this process, reach out to our team today.

Prioritizing Your Health

Whether you are aware of it or not, your oral health is comprised of multiple factors. Indeed, you must prioritize more than just your teeth, and sometimes that requires us to make the difficult decision of removing a compromised or diseased tooth before it affects your entire grin.

The last thing your dentist wants is for you to lose a natural tooth because once it is gone, it will not grow back. Restorative dentistry allows our team to do everything we can in order to salvage your infected teeth, and it is always better to act sooner rather than later.

Restoring Proper Function

In addition to prioritizing your health, restorative dentistry affords the ability to reestablish appropriate function. You see, a diseased tooth can cause complications to your smile’s bite, and infection may lead to sensitivity and difficulty in function.
