Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry comprises the diagnosis and treatment and/or management of conditions that affect the teeth and mouth and focuses on restoring their function and appearance to meet both the physical and emotional needs of the patient.
Who Requires Restorative Dentistry?
This specialized area of dentistry is most commonly seen in patients who have conditions that require multi-faceted care across the three distinct and different services encompassed within the restorative dentistry field – endodontics, periodontics, and prosthodontics.
Some examples of patients who require the specialized care of restorative dentistry teams include:
- Patients who have sustained a large amount of damage deriving from periodontal disease, excessive tooth decay, acid erosion or other oral care concerns.
- Patients who have suffered severe trauma or injury to the face, teeth, mouth, neck or jaw.
- Patients with sleep apnea.
- Patients with jaw joint discomfort or pain.
- Patients who have been affected by developmental conditions, for example, cleft lip and palate, or hypodontia, and as a result require specialist multidisciplinary care.
- Patients who have undergone radiotherapy or surgery for oral cancers.
- Patients with facial deformities.
