At Ritchie Dental Group in Marble Falls and Brady TX, we use a variety of techniques to restore damaged teeth. These fall into the category of restorative dentistry, which we will describe in this blog post.
The most common restorative dentistry procedure is probably the traditional filling. Most people have at least one by the time they reach adulthood. Traditional fillings are also called ‘direct restorations,’ because they are applied to the tooth and then shaped and polished in one visit.
Another type of filling is called an ‘indirect restoration’ and is fabricated in a dental lab. There are two types: inlays and onlays.
Other restorative dentistry procedures:
- Crowns: Sometimes called “caps,” crowns are a cover that fit over a tooth that has been repaired after damage or decay. The crown strengthens and protects it. Our CEREC® crowns can be applied in a single visit, making them a perfect, quick, and permanent restoration.
- Dental Implants: Implants are titanium posts inserted into the jaw. They can support one or more artificial teeth, and several can support a dental arch, or denture.
- Dentures: A denture can replace several missing teeth, and ours are anchored by implants. This gives them a structural advantage over traditional dentures. Plus, no sticky adhesives!
These procedures are important because filling empty spaces in the mouth keeps remaining teeth from shifting in place, and also makes it easier to maintain proper dental health.
