When you check out our website and come in for care, you may notice that there are some major care categories that you hear mentioned frequently. If you hear about restorative dentistry but aren’t quite sure what it covers, then you’ll be happy to hear the “in a nutshell version.” It’s the area of care that fixes your oral health when something goes wrong (but not so wrong that we cannot save your teeth or other tissues). As for those particulars, let’s see if you know more than you’re letting on. Can you pass our quiz?
Quiz Questions: True or False?
- True or False: Restorative dentistry is only something that comes up for patients who never take care of their teeth and gums at all.
- True or False: Our treatments can treat cavities and minor damage but nothing serious. If you need to suddenly rescue your tooth after damage, you will need a specialist.
- True or False: It’s always better to receive a restorative treatment as soon as you can make time once we suggest it.
Quiz Answers
- False. Restorative dentistry is an area of dental care that helps patients who provide their teeth with all levels of care, from very good to somewhat neglectful! Decay, breaks, etc., can happen to anyway even if you’re being very thoughtful about your oral health.
- False. We offer dental fillings, root canal treatment, bridges, dentures, and even same-day crowns for when you need a repair immediately.
- True. Treating your smile with haste is best. You’ll avoid accidentally allowing damage to expand, worsen, etc. by solving the problem the moment we detect it.
