What Is Restorative Dentistry and How Is It Different from General Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth so your smile looks and feels whole again. Treatments include tooth repair, crowns, bridges, fillings, and dentures.
General dentistry, by contrast, emphasizes prevention through exams, cleanings, and early detection. Together, general and restorative care give patients complete protection for lifelong oral health.
Why Is Getting a Damaged Tooth Restored Important?
Leaving a tooth untreated can create more serious problems. Restoring a tooth:
- Prevents decay or cracks from spreading into infection or tooth loss
- Maintains natural chewing ability and speech
- Preserves appearance and self-confidence
- Avoids higher costs associated with advanced dental problems
Taking action early ensures your teeth stay strong and your smile remains natural.
What Restorative Dental Services are Available at Midway Dental Group?
We provide a full range of dental restorations with advanced materials and personalized care.
- Crowns and Bridges – Crowns strengthen weakened teeth after fractures, large fillings, or root canals. Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to healthy teeth or implants, restoring both appearance and function.
- Cavities and Fillings – We repair decay with tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your smile. These restorations are strong, natural-looking, and preserve tooth structure.
- Dentures – We offer partial and full dentures for patients missing several or all teeth. Modern dentures improve chewing, speaking, and confidence while fitting comfortably and naturally.
How Long Do Dental Restorations Last?
- Crowns: 10–15 years with proper care
- Fillings: 5–10 years, depending on the material and daily habits
- Dentures: 7–10 years, with relines or adjustments recommended over time
Longevity depends on oral hygiene, diet, and routine dental visits. Regular checkups allow us to spot early wear so your restorations last as long as possible.
How to Take Care of Your Restorative Dental Treatments
Proper care keeps your restorations healthy and functional. We recommend:
- Daily brushing and flossing to prevent decay near restorations
- Avoiding very hard or sticky foods that may chip or dislodge restorations
- Scheduling professional cleanings and exams at Midway Dental Group
- Contacting us promptly if a crown, filling, or denture becomes loose or breaks — we provide emergency dental repair when you need it most
