What Conditions of Teeth Do Require Restorations?
Posted on 8/15/2024 by Thomas Mahar
A 3d rendering of a tooth with decayThe term dental restoration includes several procedures that can benefit anyone, not just those with missing or damaged teeth. Restorative dentistry involves tasks like filling cavities, installing bridges, or replacing lost teeth. But what conditions make it necessary to undergo dental restorations? Here are the common ones:

Tooth Decay


The number one reason why individuals seek restorations is tooth decay. When a patient has a cavity, the dentist removes the damaged part of the tooth and fills the resulting hollow with a filling material. Different tooth-filling material options are available, including gold, silver amalgam, and porcelain.

Gum Disease


Gum disease is a condition that can affect the entire mouth, leading to gradual tooth deterioration and eventual jawbone loss. Early stages of gum disease can be reversed with professional cleaning and good oral hygiene. However, advanced cases may require surgery, grafts, or tissue regeneration.

Tooth Erosion


Tooth erosion happens when teeth are frequently exposed to acid. Acidic drinks like wine and soda are usual causes, but health issues such as acid reflux and eating disorders can also lead to erosion over time.

Tooth erosion is different from decay in that it affects multiple teeth and can change the shape of the mouth and bite. Without proper dental care, erosion can cause significant damage. Dentists might use bonding or crowns to restore teeth depending on how much enamel is lost.

Teeth Cracks or Chips


Teeth can chip, break, or crack due to various factors like chewing hard substances, grinding, or trauma. Some cracks cause sensitivity, pain, and swelling, while others may go unnoticed-treatment options for such range from fillings and bonding to crowns and root canals.

Tooth Loss


A missing tooth is a clear indication that someone needs dental restoration. Teeth can go missing due to issues such as traumatic injuries, gum disease, and others. Nowadays, there are various options for replacing lost teeth, such as dentures and implants.

These are the most common conditions that are likely to lead to restoration treatments. If you feel that your teeth need restoration, you should talk to a dentist as soon as possible. Call us right away to book your visit.
