At a routine dental checkup, your Virginia Beach, VA dentist will look closely for any signs of trouble with your well-being. If you are consistent about preventive care at home and a regular visitor at your dentist’s office for routine services, you can keep your risk for problems lower. With that said, problems can still occur, even when you feel you have been careful. If something does happen, we can make plans to restore your smile and oral health. Through a conservative treatment, we can address problems with your dental health without changing your appearance. We are also here to help if you have smile concerns that are cosmetic, or if you have issues with your periodontal well-being.
Restorative Work Requires Permanent Restorations
When we perform restorative dental work, we provide treatment to unhealthy teeth to both address active problems and prevent further trouble. These services tend to be provided in response to tooth decay, but they are also needed after some dental injuries. At your appointment, your dentist will closely study a problem to find the most conservative solution possible.
Scheduling Treatment For A Cavity
Cavity treatment will call for either a dental filling or dental crown. How will your dentist decide which is necessary? While evaluating your tooth, we can determine how serious the damage is. If too much harm occurs, it will be necessary to use a dental crown instead of a filling. At your appointment, we will also look for signs of infection, which will call for root canal therapy. Root canals remove bacteria and damaged tissues within the tooth structure so that problems do not worsen.
Dental Work Can Also Address Physical Injuries
Physical injuries can occur with little warning, and they can leave you with serious oral health concerns. At your visit, we will evaluate damage to see what can be done to fully restore your smile and oral health. If it is possible, we can move forward with cosmetic dental work. These services make fewer changes to your tooth structure. However, if your oral health or ability to apply bite pressure is compromised, we can instead discuss treatment with a dental crown.
