Restorative Treatments: Connecting The Dots! 

Updated: Apr 8, 2020


You know that restorative care is extremely important when you experience damage to your teeth or a hygiene-related problem, such as tooth decay. However, that doesn’t mean you’re necessarily connecting the dots in every single situation when restoring your smile is called for. Of course, this is perfectly normal! Though you know that this is the field of dental care required for repairs, it’s sometimes the deeper details that you don’t recognize right off the bat. The good news? Our Columbia, TN team would to offer you those little morsels of education that answer some of the bigger questions you still have!


How Is An Extraction Considered Restorative?

You might think that the removal of a tooth is more like a loss or a failure and less of a means through which you can restore your oral health. However, we encourage you to remember that restoring your smile means getting it back to the level of health it originally had. So, when you have a tooth that’s very damaged and that we cannot fix, guiding your smile toward good oral health means removing the problem. Then, we can finish the process by restoring your mouth’s structure with a tooth replacement!

If My Tooth Is Already Damaged, What’s The Rush?

We know that when your tooth is damaged, you may think to yourself that rushing to come in for restorative care may seem unnecessary. The damage is done, so why make haste? What you’re overlooking is that damaged oral health nearly always leads to worse damage. A cavity becomes an infection. A slightly damaged tooth suddenly crumbles. When you see us straight away, you prevent further damage and, as you already realize, you restore your smile health!

Is It Too Late Once Tooth Loss Happens?

As mentioned, if you lose a tooth, you’re not at the end of the line with your oral health. Instead, what you need is to come in to see us, so we may address any existing disease and replace the missing tooth. Remember that we offer a variety of beautiful solutions, so your smile is whole, healthy, and safe again.

What If I Consider My Smile A Lost Cause?

If you think it’s just too late for your smile because things have gotten so bad, think again! We offer full mouth restoration (which means we can implement multiple restorative dentistry treatments) and we will happily refer you to a specialist, if necessary.
