Are you in need of restorative dental work? You may think everything is fine just because you have no obvious symptoms, but when a cavity first forms, you may not realize something is wrong. The regular examinations your dentist provides during a routine dental appointment can allow them to find a small problem, and offer treatment before the matter grows in severity. There are different approaches to restorative care, based on what needs to be done to suit your needs. You can count on care that provides you with a healthy, fully supported smile, both for small cavities and in cases where you are dealing with advanced tooth decay.
Questions:
True Or False: A dental crown made from realistic-looking porcelain can be a good match visually with neighboring teeth.
True Or False: A cavity that is particularly severe may not be fixable with a dental filling.
True Or False: Your restorative work is only meant to stay in place until your tooth fully heals, and no longer needs support.
Answers:
True! Porcelain is capable of producing a crown that fits in visually with your smile. Once applied, your smile can appear natural, even if the crown is in a prominent place.
True! Dental fillings can do a great job repairing a tooth after a cavity has been removed. That being said, a larger cavity can call for more support than a filling is intended to provide.
False! The damage caused by a cavity will require permanent support. This is one reason it is important to make sure your restoration stays in good condition. If you have a problem with a filling or crown, it can leave your tooth vulnerable.
