Understanding Restorative Dentistry
Severe Damage from an Accident
A dentist’s goal is always to preserve the tooth. A dental crown or filling can help restore a chipped or cracked tooth. However, if the damage is extensive, keeping the tooth may not be possible with an added infection risk. Therefore, your dentist may recommend a tooth extraction.
It is normal for hearing the option of tooth extraction to cause a degree of anxiety. Here at Dr. Kest’s practice, we prioritize your safety, comfort, and self-esteem in having restored white teeth.
Severe Tooth Decay from Irreparable Tooth Damage
When tooth decay reaches the pulp, or the tooth’s center, the bacteria from the decay can take over the pulp and cause an infection. While a root canal procedure can remove the infection before it spreads, a severe infection may call for a tooth removal.
At Dr. Kest’s practice, your dentist will examine the extent of tooth decay and offer the most viable solution. Whether it’s root canal treatment or tooth extractions, we ensure the treatment is as safe, painless, and comfortable as possible for your dental needs.
Overcrowding Teeth and Impacted Tooth
An impacted tooth such as a wisdom tooth blocked from emerging from the gums or bone due to teeth overcrowding. When impacted, the wisdom tooth can grow at the wrong angle, which causes cysts, damage, and pain. Because impacted teeth are harder to clean, it can even cause problems in the teeth and gums.
Here at Dr. Kest’s practice, we will thoroughly examine your teeth to determine the best treatments for you. We use digital radiography to see the impacted tooth and its affected areas. Digital radiography is fast and comfortable since the images can be transferred to a monitor where we have a visual representation of your teeth. It is also safer since it emits 75% less radiation.
Upon medically reviewing the x-ray, your dentist can evaluate if there is space to move and set your teeth to a better alignment. If not, tooth extractions can prevent overcrowding and avoid damaging other teeth and causing infection.
Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease is caused by dental plaque that builds up on the teeth hours after eating without brushing (this is why oral health is essential). Dental plaque bacteria cause inflammation and infection.
At Dr. Kest’s practice, we aim to save your teeth in the best way possible with the best periodontal treatment for your case.
