The good thing about keeping your smile healthy is that, if it already is, then preventing things that could affect it doesn’t usually take a whole lot of extra effort. Sticking to a good dental hygiene routine and visiting your dentist regularly for preventive checkups and cleanings can go a long way in helping you avoid dental problems. However, when dental problems do occur, keeping your smile healthy and your bite fully functional requires addressing the issue as soon as possible. The sooner you address a dental health concern, the less effort it will take to fully restore your smile to its full health and integrity.
Dealing with mild or severe tooth decay
While restoring a smile can mean many different things, one of the most common is the need to address tooth decay. That’s because tooth decay is the most frequently occurring chronic dental issue, and when it develops, it can cause increasingly worse discomfort in your tooth as well as more extensive erosion of its structure. This erosion is the reason why a cavity forms in your tooth when decay first develops, and as the condition worsens, so does the cavity. If you address it in its mild stage, you can have a good chance of restoring the tooth with a tooth-colored filling. In more severe cases, root canal treatment may be the more appropriate solution.
Repairing and preserving a damaged tooth
For most concerns that could threaten your smile and oral health, time is an important factor in your treatment. The longer you wait to address the concern, the more time it has to progress and the more extensive your treatment may need to be in order to successfully restore your smile. This is true with tooth decay as well as various forms of damage to your tooth structure, such as excessive wear on its chewing surface or a fractured or broken crown. Repairing and preserving damaged tooth structure requires a precise diagnosis of the damage and a custom-designed restoration plan to preserve as much healthy, natural tooth structure as possible.
Replacing a lost tooth and its functions
Restoring a smile often means restoring a compromised tooth. However, when a tooth is lost or extracted and there isn’t any tooth structure left to repair, restoring your smile will mean reestablishing your bite’s balance and ability to function properly. This means replacing the tooth with a highly lifelike restoration that closely mimics your healthy, natural tooth structure as much as possible. For many people, the optimal solution for achieving this is with a custom-designed, dental implant-supported restoration, which includes root-like posts to offer your smile optimal restorative benefits.
