What is restorative dentistry?

Restorative dentistry includes evaluations, diagnoses, and treatments for common dental health issues like tooth damage, cavities, infections, and gum disease. The earlier you seek restorative dental treatments for a dental problem, the easier it is for your dentist to treat it.

What are the advantages of restorative dentistry?

The advantages you can expect after undergoing restorative dentistry at Creative Dental of Syosset include teeth that are:

• Stronger
• Healthier
• Longer-lasting
• Whiter
• Brighter
• Beautiful
• Less damaged
• No longer decaying 

Restorative dentistry also includes gum disease treatments that eliminate soft tissue infection, pain, and the risk of receding gums. 

Which restorative dentistry options are best for me?

Dr. Mozner lets you know if you’re a candidate for restorative dentistry after discussing your medical and oral health histories and examining your gums and teeth. He customizes your treatment based on the condition of your teeth and gums and your oral health goals. 

Treatments can include bridges, crowns, and more.

Which restorative dentistry services are available?

Some of the restorative dentistry options available at Creative Dental of Syosset include:

Dental bonding

Dental bonding uses strong, tooth-colored dental materials to reshape and repair teeth with minor imperfections. 

Crowns 

Crowns fit over your natural teeth to improve their strength, size, shape, and overall appearance. Implant-supported crowns replace missing permanent teeth by attaching to artificial tooth roots (dental implants). Crowns can be used for many reasons, including worn down enamel, tooth decay, and gaps between teeth.

Bridges

Bridges replace one or more missing teeth using traditional crowns with an artificial tooth attachment or implant-supported crowns.

Dental implants

Dental implants anchor dentures, crowns, or bridges to replace missing permanent teeth. The implants consist of metal artificial tooth roots implanted into your jawbone.

TMJ treatment

Creative Dental of Syosset offers TMJ treatment. Once diagnosed, treatments include simple placement of a custom night guard, preventing pressure on the joint, and surgical intervention in more severe cases. They may also recommend jaw exercises and a soft diet, as small implementations can help to ease TMJ disorder.

Root canals

If you have an infected tooth, Dr. Mozner removes the inside, fills it with sturdy dental materials, and covers the restored tooth with a cap to protect it from further damage.
