What is restorative
dentistry?

As the name implies, restorative dentistry encompasses a wide range of dental services aimed at restoring the health of patients' mouths and boosting their self-confidence. In cases of tooth decay, gum disease, or oral trauma, restorative dental care can be helpful. You can get your smile back with restorative treatment from your Magnolia dentist, whether it's simple procedures like fillings or more complex ones like dental prosthetics.

Dental issues can become more severe and costly the longer you wait to treat them.

What to expect at your restorative appointment in Magnolia

Comprehensive Exam

Dr. Mike Tran will examine your teeth and gums during your comprehensive oral health examination, also called a "full mouth exam," while screening for oral cancer, periodontal disease, tooth decay, and anything else that could affect your oral health.

Personal Treatment Plan

Your oral health goals will be discussed with Dr. Mike Tran after your exam, and a customized treatment plan will be developed to meet your specific requirements. A treatment plan is a detailed outline of recommended care, which usually includes a timeline for each treatment and details about all the services you will receive.

Options and Alternatives

Because every smile is unique, no two treatment plans will be exactly the same for everyone. We’ll be with you all the way, educating you on all of your available treatment options, and answering any questions you may have, so you can choose the treatment that fits your needs, your budget, and your lifestyle.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Using the information we’ve gathered with your exam and x-rays, we’ll work together with you to craft a treatment plan customized for your unique oral health needs, budget, and lifestyle. If everything looks good, we’ll simply schedule your next routine cleaning and checkup.

Appointments & Follow-Ups

You can count on our office to give you the treatment you need as soon as possible if you have a dental emergency in Magnolia. Depending on the severity of your emergency, and our availability, we may be able to offer same-day appointments. If you don’t have an emergency, we’ll just schedule your next appointment after your cleaning. We’ll work with you to make sure your next appointment fits your schedule.

Restorative Treatment Options

Dental Fillings

One of the most common restorative dental procedures, dental fillings can repair decayed teeth that have been damaged by cavities or other oral health issues. Depending on the location and extent of the damage, different materials can be used to create fillings. These materials include composite resin, gold alloys, metal amalgam, porcelain, and glass ionomer cement. If you think you may have a cavity, getting it checked out as soon as possible can help to prevent the decay from spreading. When left untreated, cavities can grow, and more invasive procedures like root canal therapy, or even extraction, may be required to restore your oral wellbeing.

Lab–Made Crowns

Dental crowns are caps that restore teeth by covering them down to the gum line. Lab-made crowns use the highest-quality materials and are created by a dental technician at a state-of-the-art dental lab. To begin the dental crown process, Dr. Mike Tran will trim and shape your damaged tooth to make it an ideal base for attaching your new crown. Then, we'll take impressions of your bite using either putty or digital scans before sending it to the lab where your restoration will be crafted to your unique specifications.
‍
While you’re waiting for your permanent crown, which will take a few weeks, we’ll provide you with a temporary crown to wear in the meantime. Once it has been completed, the lab will send us your finished crown, and you’ll return to our Magnolia office for the final placement. Before securing the crown, we’ll make sure it fits perfectly and make any necessary adjustments so your new smile looks great, feels comfortable, and functions seamlessly.

Same–Day Crowns

Same-day crowns offer all of the same benefits as lab-made crowns, without the wait. Utilizing advanced CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Manufacturing) technology, you can get a brand-new smile in a single visit. Dr. Mike Tran will trim away the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth, and shape it to create a sturdy base and ensure a comfortable fit and finish for your crown - after which your crown will be finished in about an hour and checked for fit.

Dental Bridges

In order to place a dental bridge, crowns need to be placed on the teeth surrounding the gap in your smile to support the bridge. It is a fixed prosthetic that can replace one or more missing teeth in a row. There are several advantages to dental bridges, including the reduced sensitivity caused by exposed roots. Additionally, since they support your natural teeth, they can make chewing and speaking easier.

Root Canal Therapy

A successful root canal results in the removal of all traces of infection from the tooth, and filling the empty space, usually with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. This helps to stop the spread of infection, and can also help keep the tooth strong to prevent future problems. We'll always try to save your natural teeth whenever possible, and a root canal may help you avoid more invasive procedures in the future.

Full And Partial Dentures

Dentures are removable dental appliances that help replace missing teeth and gum tissue. Partial dentures can be a solution for patients who are missing one or several of their natural teeth. Full dentures are used to replace a full arch of missing teeth. They can be made from different materials, including acrylic and composite, and are secured with suction, dental adhesive, or a metal framework that clips into your remaining healthy teeth. Dentures can be a convenient, affordable way to restore your smile.

Oral Surgeries

Oral surgery might be necessary for some patients in order to prepare for restorative treatments like dental implants, to remove impacted teeth, or to correct severe orthodontic issues. Bone grafting is performed to replace lost jaw bone mass and promote bone regrowth, so it’s a fairly common oral surgery. Good candidates for bone grafts are patients experiencing weakened jawbones as a result of tooth loss, periodontal disease, or the natural aging process.

Bone grafts are often necessary to ensure a patient’s jawbone is strong enough to support the placement of a dental implant. Patients receiving a full set of dentures or full-arch dental implants may require a tooth extraction, as a full-arch of prosthetics needs a completely empty arch to be placed. However, we’ll always try to save your natural teeth whenever possible, so we will only recommend extraction as an option if we can’t restore your smile using other, less-invasive measures.

Restorative dental treatments like root canals, crowns, and implants have many benefits. Although these may seem intimidating to some, advancements in dental techniques and technology have made restorative dentistry more comfortable than ever. Don’t put off getting restorative dental treatment, as getting the care you need quickly can help you to avoid future oral health problems that come with dental pain and more invasive, costly procedures. Not only will you save yourself time and money, but you’ll also be able to smile with confidence, knowing that your bite is in good health.

Any instance of oral trauma, or an injury that requires immediate attention and can’t be treated at home, is a dental emergency. Dental emergencies include conditions like persistent toothaches or another type of continuous oral pain or discomfort, chipped or broken teeth, missing or lost dental work, and bleeding gums. It’s always better to be safe than sorry, so even if you’re not certain that what you’re experiencing qualifies as a dental emergency, get in touch with us anyway to find out if you require emergency care.

The extent of your coverage can vary depending on your particular policy, but many insurance plans do cover at least a portion of the cost of restorative procedures that are deemed necessary. For example, your insurance might cover the cost of a simple filling, or root canal therapy, but they may not provide the same coverage for dental implants. For a complete understanding of your own coverage, we recommend reaching out to your provider for details. Alternatively, our knowledgeable and friendly team is standing by to answer any questions you may have and find out how to maximize your benefits at our office.
