It is a fact that not everyone is endowed with good dental health. It is inescapable that most of us will have a crooked, broken, chipped or misaligned tooth at one time or another. The most common cause for the loss of your teeth is old age. However, this can also be caused by some mishap as a result of certain other health or medical conditions. Restorative dentistry procedures are perfect for correcting your appearance and changing your looks.

Restorative Dentistry is simply the restoration of ones natural teeth that have been decayed, damaged or lost. The method used to do this usually requires a crown or a bridge on the damaged or missing tooth. A bridge may be used to replace one or more teeth, while a crown may be constructed to repair a particular damaged tooth back to its original function and form.

Should you need a crown for example, this would involve more than one visit to the dentist. The first visit is to make impressions of the tooth and a second visit in order to have the crown set. The use of heavy duty cement is used in order to glue the crown onto your tooth. Sometimes a third visit is required in order to insure a proper fit for your crown.

If it is a bridge that you require, then you will find that this procedure would take from two to four visits to the dentist. A fixed bridge, or what dentists refer to as a prosthesis, will fill the area of the missing tooth, also known as the ponitc. You will then be given a mild anesthetic in order to prepare the other teeth for the bridge. Once the teeth are prepared the dentist will make an impression in order to make replacement teeth for the bridge. The impressions are usually sent to a dental laboratory in order to be made, using a mixture either of metal or porcelain.

While your bridge is being prepared, a temporary bridge will be fitted to your teeth. Once the bridge is made, you will be required to come back in to have the temporary bridge replaced with the permanent one.

It is worth pointing that once fitted, bridges cannot be removed, so if you have one, ensure that your dentist provides you with special floss to care for your gums. Regular floss cannot be used and its very hard to clean under a bridge, so this is very important in order to avoid gum disease.
