4 SIGNS YOU NEED RESTORATIVE DENTAL CARE

One of our goals here at Dobson Ranch Dental Care is to ensure that you love your smile. To achieve this goal, restorative dentistry is often the answer. With a restorative dental procedure and care, we can correct unhealthy tooth or gum problems. We achieve these goals by replacing damaged or unhealthy teeth with alternatives that look and feel natural. As we age, our dental health can deteriorate, but with the right care, you can maintain that bright, white smile you’ve always loved. So, here are some signs you need to make an appointment for restorative dental care.

Accidents, decay, and poor dental hygiene can all lead to missing teeth. But no matter the circumstances behind your missing teeth, restorative dentistry can help. If you’re missing one or more teeth, you’re putting the health of your entire mouth and jaw at risk. Multiple holes where your teeth should be can allow food particles and bacteria to eat through your gums and into your jaw bone. Furthermore, missing teeth can decrease your self-esteem and alter the structure and shape of your face .

Overcrowded molars don’t just make your bite and chewing uncomfortable, but they can also be the root cause of your headaches, neck, or jaw pain. In addition, when your molars are crowded or pushing on your other teeth, you can experience increased clenching, especially while you sleep. With restorative dental care, you can correct this overcrowding and improve your overall health. When your teeth are no longer overcrowded and causing discomfort, you will notice an improvement in how you sleep, eat, and enjoy life overall. 

Have you been living your entire life with a gap between your front teeth? If so, then we’ve got great news! Restorative dental care can help fix any tooth gap you may have. Gaps between teeth are not only great traps for food and bacteria, but they can also cause discomfort and embarrassment. People who live with a tooth gap often alter how they smile to hide their gap, because they’re afraid they’ll be made fun of, or that someone will point it out. Additionally, gaps can cause teeth to loosen and fall out. 

If you have a broken tooth, you might be experiencing severe pain or discomfort. This is because a broken tooth can either be chipped or cracked, leaving the tooth’s pulp and nerve exposed. This causes severe sensitivity to hot and cold food or beverages. Furthermore, this broken tooth allows in bacteria, which can result in needing a root canal performed, or worse, a complete tooth removal. If you have a broken tooth, restorative dentistry can help fix this tooth. Whether with a dental implant or onlay, restoring your broken tooth is critical for your health and comfort.
