It’s never fun to learn you have a cavity or other dental issue that needs repair. But when you rely on Vijay Godi, DDS, and Prime Dental in Fort Wayne, Indiana, for care, you can rest assured that you’ll receive outstanding restorative dentistry services. Just reach out online or over the phone to determine the best time to come in for care.

What is the focus of restorative dentistry?

Restorative dentistry is an area of dental practice focused on repairing damaged tooth or bone tissue and restoring proper dental health. It encompasses a wide range of services, all intended to correct dental damage or decay. 

Some examples of restorative dentistry include:

• Fillings
• Inlays and onlays
• Crowns
• Root canal
• Dental implants
• Bridges

Dentures are another restorative treatment option if you need to replace all of your natural teeth. There are also dental implant options that can replace a full upper or lower arch of natural teeth. 

How do I know which restorative dentistry options are right for me?

Ideally, you’ll come in for routine dental exams with Dr. Godi every six months or so. This timeline increases the chance of catching dental decay or damage early, enabling you to seek treatment before your condition worsens. 

However, any time you experience dental problems like pain, swelling, or loose teeth, you should schedule a visit right away. There’s no need to wait until your next scheduled dental exam if you detect changes in your teeth or gums. 

Once Dr. Godi examines your teeth and perhaps gathers digital imaging, he’ll explain the best way to treat your condition. You’ll learn what to expect in terms of scheduling, recovery time, and expense, as well as what will likely happen if you decide to forgo treatment. 

Can restorative dentistry treatments enhance the appearance of my smile?

While restoring the health of your teeth is the primary goal of restorative dentistry treatments, many will also deliver aesthetic benefits. For example, if you chip or crack a tooth, a dental crown can make your tooth stronger and more visually appealing. 

This is especially true regarding missing teeth. Filling a gap with a bridge, dental implant, or partial dentures can give you a smile you’ll be excited to share with the world. 

Restorative dentistry can end pain, enhance your ability to speak and chew, and do wonders for your confidence. Dr. Godi and the rest of the team at Prime Dental take great pride in performing top-quality restorative dentistry services for the community of Fort Wayne, Indiana. 

If you or a loved one needs restorative dental work, schedule a visit at your earliest convenience. You can book online in just a matter of moments, or call during regular business hours to check appointment availability.
