Frequently Asked Questions

What is restorative dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. Treatments such as fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures can restore the health, function, and appearance of your smile.

Who is a good candidate for restorative dentistry?

Anyone with cavities, broken teeth, worn teeth, missing teeth, or older dental work that needs replacement may benefit from restorative dental treatment. A consultation with Dr. Blidy can determine the best option for your needs.

What restorative treatments do you offer?

We offer a variety of restorative dental services, including tooth-colored fillings, amalgam fillings, dental crowns, dental bridges, complete dentures, partial dentures, immediate dentures, and implant-retained dentures.

Can restorative dentistry improve the appearance of my smile?

Yes. Many restorative treatments not only repair damaged teeth but also enhance the appearance of your smile. Modern materials are designed to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth for beautiful, long-lasting results.

How do I know if I need a dental crown?

A dental crown may be recommended if a tooth is severely decayed, cracked, weakened, or has undergone root canal therapy. Crowns help protect the tooth while restoring its strength, function, and appearance.

What is the difference between a dental bridge and a denture?

A dental bridge is used to replace one or several missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to neighboring teeth. Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace multiple missing teeth or an entire arch of teeth.

How long do restorative dental treatments last?

The lifespan of restorative dental work depends on the type of treatment, your oral hygiene habits, and regular dental care. Many restorations can last for many years with proper maintenance and routine dental visits.

Will my restoration look natural?

Yes. Today’s restorative materials are designed to closely match the color, shape, and appearance of natural teeth. Our goal is to provide restorations that look and feel as natural as possible.

Is restorative dentistry painful?

Most restorative procedures involve little to no discomfort. Local anesthesia and modern dental techniques help ensure a comfortable experience during treatment.

Can missing teeth affect my oral health?

Yes. Missing teeth can impact your ability to chew and speak properly and may cause surrounding teeth to shift out of alignment. Replacing missing teeth can help maintain your oral health and bite function.

How much does restorative dentistry cost?

The cost varies depending on the type of treatment needed and the complexity of your case. During your consultation, we will discuss your treatment options and provide an estimate of associated costs.

How do I get started with restorative dental treatment?
