FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re considering restorative dentistry in Fremantle, you likely have questions about treatments, recovery, and what to expect. Below are common questions patients ask about restorative dental care.
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry involves treatments designed to help address teeth affected by decay, damage, or tooth loss. The goal is to support the structure, function, and appearance of your teeth, which may help with eating, speaking, and smiling, though outcomes vary. Common options may include fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures, depending on individual clinical needs.
What can restorative dentistry help with?
Restorative dentistry is for a variety of dental concerns, including the following:
- Tooth decay: Fillings and crowns are designed to manage cavities, depending on your specific situation.
- Broken or cracked teeth: Crowns, bonding, or other restorations can strengthen the tooth and may reduce the risk of further damage.
- Missing teeth: Bridges, dentures, or dental implants are options to fill gaps and may improve your ability to chew and speak more comfortably.
- Worn enamel: Restorative treatments are for tooth structure worn down by grinding, acid erosion, or natural ageing.
- Failed or ageing dental work: Old fillings, crowns, or other restorations can be replaced if they become damaged, loose, or worn over time.
- Tooth pain or sensitivity: Restorative treatments may help address potential underlying causes of discomfort.
Your dentist will assess your situation and recommend appropriate treatment options tailored to your needs.
What is the difference between restorative and cosmetic dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on replacing damaged, decayed, or missing teeth to restore function and protect oral health. Treatments such as fillings, crowns, and bridges are primarily designed to manage structural or functional concerns.
Cosmetic dentistry, on the other hand, focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth and smile. Procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding are usually selected for aesthetic reasons rather than to address functional issues. Some treatments, such as crowns or implants, can serve both restorative and cosmetic purposes depending on the situation.
What if I'm anxious about restorative dental treatment?
Dental anxiety is common, and we understand that some patients feel nervous about treatment. At On Point Dental, we aim to create a supportive environment where you feel heard and comfortable. Here’s how we can help:
- Clear explanations: Before starting any procedure, we’ll outline what to expect and address your concerns.
- Local anaesthesia: We use anaesthesia to help manage discomfort during treatment, which many patients find helps them feel more at ease.
- Additional comfort options: We can discuss additional measures to help you feel more comfortable during your appointment, if needed.
- Extra time: If you’re feeling anxious, let us know when you book your appointment so we can plan extra time and provide the support you need.
Your comfort matters to us, and we’ll work with you to make your experience as positive as possible.
How long do dental restorations last?
The lifespan of a dental restoration depends on several factors:
- Type of restoration: Fillings may last several years, while crowns and bridges can often last a decade or more with careful maintenance. Dental implants can last many years with proper care.
- Materials used: Different materials have different durability characteristics, which your dentist will discuss with you.
- Location of the tooth: Restorations in areas that experience heavy chewing forces may experience more wear over time.
- Oral hygiene habits: Good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and avoiding habits such as grinding or chewing on hard objects can help extend the life of your restoration.
Your dentist will provide guidance on caring for your specific restoration to help it last as long as possible.
How many appointments will I need for restorative treatment?
The number of appointments depends on the type of treatment. Some procedures, such as fillings, can often be completed in a single visit. Others, such as crowns, bridges, or implants, may require multiple appointments to allow time for preparation, custom fabrication, and placement.
Your dentist will explain the expected timeline during your initial consultation so you know what to expect. If you have multiple dental concerns, we can discuss whether treatments can be scheduled together or spread out over time.
Do I need time off work after restorative dental procedures?
For most restorative procedures, you can return to your normal activities soon after your appointment. Simple treatments such as fillings typically involve minimal disruption to your day. More involved procedures, such as extractions or implant placement, may require a short recovery period. Your dentist will provide guidance based on the specific treatment you receive. If you have concerns about scheduling treatment around work or other commitments, let us know so we can discuss your options.
How long does it take to recover from tooth restoration?
Recovery time varies by procedure. After a filling, you may experience slight sensitivity for a day or two, but most patients feel comfortable quite quickly. After crown or bridge placement, you may notice tenderness in the area for a few days.
More extensive procedures, such as extractions or implant surgery, may involve a recovery period of several days to a week or more. Your dentist will explain what to expect and provide instructions on managing any discomfort, eating, and caring for the area during recovery.
Can dental restorations fail over time?
While dental restorations are designed to be durable, they can sometimes fail or need replacement over time. Factors that can affect restoration longevity include the following:
- Normal wear: Restorations can wear down over time, particularly in areas that experience heavy chewing forces.
- Decay around the restoration: New decay can develop around the edges of fillings or crowns if oral hygiene is not maintained.
- Changes in tooth structure: The natural tooth beneath a restoration can change over time, affecting how well the restoration fits or functions.
- Damage from grinding or injury: Teeth grinding (bruxism) or accidental injury can damage restorations.
Regular dental checkups allow your dentist to monitor your restorations and identify any issues early. If a restoration does fail, your dentist will discuss options with you. Practising good oral hygiene and following your dentist’s care recommendations can help reduce the likelihood of restoration failure.
Is it too late for restorative dentistry if I've avoided the dentist for years?
It’s never too late to address your dental concerns. Many patients come to us after avoiding the dentist for a long time, and we’re here to help without judgment. Even if you have significant decay, damage, or tooth loss, tooth restoration in Fremantle may help restore function and improve your oral health, with outcomes varying by individual circumstances. We’ll assess your situation, discuss your options, and create a treatment plan tailored to you. The first step is to schedule an examination so we can understand what’s happening and discuss next steps.
Can restored teeth look natural?
Modern restorative materials are designed to blend with your natural teeth. Tooth-coloured fillings, porcelain crowns, and ceramic bridges can be matched to the shade and shape of your surrounding teeth, making them difficult to distinguish from natural teeth.
Your dentist will consider both appearance and function when planning your treatment, particularly for restorations in visible areas. If aesthetics are a priority for you, let your dentist know so this can be considered in your treatment plan.
What should I expect during restorative dental treatment?
During restorative dental treatment, your dentist will typically begin by numbing the area with local anaesthesia to help minimise discomfort. You may feel pressure or movement during the procedure, but it should not be painful. Your dentist will explain each step as it happens and check in with you throughout. After the treatment, you may experience some sensitivity or tenderness, which usually improves within a few days.
Your dentist will provide aftercare instructions and answer any questions you have before you leave the clinic. If you have questions about what restorative dentistry in Fremantle entails, our team is available to discuss them during your consultation.
