We’ve all heard horror stories about dental appointments gone wrong, so it’s unsurprising that many patients feel anxious when their dentist recommends a root canal. This common procedure carries an undeserved reputation for being extremely painful, but in reality, these treatments help relieve pain, not cause it.
Restoring a full arch of teeth can be both exciting and daunting. Whether you’re considering this step for yourself or a loved one, it’s essential to have a clear understanding of your options. As dental professionals, we’re here to help you make an informed decision and obtain the radiant smile you deserve.
Restorative dentistry is the practice of repairing or replacing teeth, with the primary goal being to improve oral health and chewing function—and in many cases, these procedures also improve an individual’s smile. Restorative dentistry is performed by general dentists and is ideal for patients with cavities, tooth decay, damaged or broken teeth, or missing teeth. It is often confused with cosmetic dentistry, which is focused exclusively on improving the appearance of the mouth and teeth.
