Restorative Dentistry FAQs
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry repairs a damaged tooth or replaces a missing one. At Airway Dental & More, the options discussed here are fillings, crowns and bridges.
When might I need a crown instead of a filling?
A filling may suit a smaller area of decay or damage. A crown may be considered when a tooth is more weakened, fractured, worn or has a large filling. An exam helps determine which approach fits.
How does a dental bridge work?
A bridge fills the space left by one or more missing teeth and is held by prepared supporting teeth. Airway Dental & More uses scans or impressions and a temporary restoration before fitting the custom bridge.
Can dental restorations look natural?
Yes. Tooth-colored materials and custom crowns or bridges can be chosen to blend with nearby teeth. Shade, shape and the final appearance depend on your teeth and treatment plan.
What happens during a restorative consultation?
We listen to your concerns, examine the teeth and discuss suitable options. You can ask about treatment steps, timing and expected costs before deciding how to proceed.
