Here are a few things you need to know about tooth restoration
Many people take their teeth for granted, day in, day out, not ever stopping to think about how important their teeth are. Eating and chewing food for your nutritional requirements involves funtioning teeth. Smiling, which your teeth are part of, is used in non-verbal communication with other people. Your teeth are critical for proper speech. Only when something happens to damage teeth, decay or an accident, do many people stop and realize how important their teeth are. Drs. Black and Itagawa are here to provide our patients with the advice and guidance to make the right choice for their dental needs and execute the plan with excellent treatment.
Tooth restorations are used to replace the missing, decayed tooth structure. Most people will require some restorative dentistry in their lives, from a small filling to full dentures. Damage to teeth can occur through accidents, decay (caries), parafunction (grinding or “bruxing”) or gum disease (periodontitis). There are many different restorations available, often having multiple options for any given situation.
