Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and replacing damaged or missing teeth to restore both function and aesthetics. Treatments can include dental crowns, bridges, implants, root canals, and full-mouth rehabilitation.
How do I know if I need restorative dental treatment?
If you have missing, cracked, worn, or decayed teeth, or if you experience pain when chewing, you may benefit from restorative dentistry. A consultation with Dr. Catera can help determine the best treatment plan for your needs.
Are dental crowns and bridges permanent?
Dental crowns and bridges are designed to be long-lasting, typically lasting 10-15 years or more with proper care. Regular dental visits, good oral hygiene, and avoiding excessive force on your teeth can help extend their lifespan.
What are the benefits of dental implants over traditional dentures?
Dental implants are a permanent solution that function like natural teeth, offering improved stability, comfort, and bone preservation. Unlike dentures, implants prevent jawbone loss and do not require adhesives.
Is the All-on-4 procedure better than regular dentures?
Yes, All-on-4 restorations provide a fixed, non-removable solution for replacing a full arch of teeth. They offer greater comfort, better chewing ability, and a more natural appearance compared to traditional removable dentures.
Does a root canal hurt?
A root canal procedure is designed to relieve pain, not cause it. With modern techniques and local anesthesia, most patients feel little to no discomfort during treatment.
What is soft tissue management, and how does it help gum disease?
Soft tissue management is a non-surgical approach to treating gum disease. It includes deep cleanings, scaling and root planing, and antibacterial treatments to reduce inflammation, stop disease progression, and improve gum health.
How long does it take to complete a full-mouth rehabilitation?
The timeframe for full dental rehabilitation varies based on the extent of treatment needed. Some procedures can be completed in a few visits, while more complex cases may take several months to achieve optimal results.
