Q: What is restorative dentistry?

Restorative dentistry is the treatment of teeth and their supporting structures to restore your mouth back to full functionality. Examples of restorative treatments include dental implants, crowns, bridges, root canal therapy, dentures, and/or fillings.

Q: Is restorative dentistry the same as cosmetic dentistry?

No, restorative dentistry is not the same as cosmetic dentistry. Restorative dentistry features treatments to structurally fix or replace your existing teeth. Cosmetic dentistry features treatments to aesthetically enhance your teeth.

Q: Are there financing options available for restorative dentistry?

Our Madison dental clinic works to make dentistry affordable to all our patients. We offer a pre-payment discount to patients without insurance whose procedure will cost over $300. We can also help sign you up for CareCredit, which offers monthly payment plans.

Q: Does my insurance cover restorative dentistry services?

Determining if your insurance covers restorative dentistry services will depend on your existing insurance plan. Many dental insurance plans do cover at least a portion of the cost. We would be happy to review your insurance coverage with you during a consultation.

Q: Are restorative dental procedures painful?

Restorative dental procedures are, in general, not painful. Many restoration treatments can be performed with local anesthesia, allowing patients to remain comfortable during their procedure. For more complex procedures such as implants, forms of conscious sedation may be used to help patients stay relaxed.

Q: What is minor restorative dental work?

Minor restorative dental work typically refers to procedures aimed at repairing small dental issues such as cavities or minor tooth damage.

Q: What is major restorative dental work?

Major restorative dental work involves more extensive procedures to repair significant damage or address complex issues such as root canals, dental implants, or full mouth reconstruction.

Basic vs Major Restorative Dental Procedures

Common restorative dentistry procedures include resin dental fillings, dental crowns, dental bridges, dental implants, dentures, and veneers. Basic restorative dentistry procedures require fewer steps and less complex techniques to repair and restore damaged teeth. These basic procedures can include fillings, crowns, bridges, or root canal therapy.

Major restorative dentistry procedures are more extensive and are required for teeth more severely damaged or decayed. These procedures can involve more planning and preparation and may lead to longer recovery times. Examples of major restorative dental procedures are implants, dentures, and veneers.

Available Dental Restoration Services in Madison

Dental Fillings

Cavities and other defects can compromise the entire infrastructure of a tooth. Our dentists use a composite resin filling to match the aesthetics of your teeth while providing a strong support system. Composite fillings restore most of your original tooth strength, preventing further tooth decay and dental health issues.

Dental Crowns

The best choice for many patients with cracked or damaged teeth is dental crowns. Crowns, also called caps, offer a long-lasting solution to restoring the form, function, and beauty of your teeth. Total Care Dental uses porcelain crowns that match the natural color of your existing teeth.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are a viable option for replacing one or more missing teeth at once. Bridges use the existing teeth around the gaps to anchor new replacement teeth in place. Our office uses porcelain bridges that are natural-looking teeth replacements.

Root Canal

Root canal therapy is crucial to treating an extremely deep cavity or nerve damage caused by tooth trauma. If left untreated, these conditions can cause pain and discomfort and you could potentially lose your tooth altogether. A root canal removes infection so the tooth is restored to a healthy state.

Dentures

Dentures provide a simple solution for the replacement of missing teeth and surrounding dental tissue. Total Care Dental's dentists customize dentures to fit your mouth, ensuring they are comfortable and secure. Partial and complete dentures are available to provide you with a full set of functioning teeth.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are the most beneficial advancement in dentistry, offering an innovative solution for missing teeth. With implants from our Madison dentists, you'll have lifelong replacement teeth that provide the comfort and stability you need. Best of all, dental implants look, feel, and function like your natural teeth

Four Life-Changing Implants

Four life-changing implants are a form of full-mouth dental reconstruction that replaces all your existing teeth in a single visit. Also called a form of mouth rehabilitation, four life-changing implants are similar to having a permanent set of dentures installed in your mouth. Like traditional dental implants, your new teeth will look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

How are Restorative Services Different from Cosmetic Dentistry

Restorative dental services are intended to fix your teeth. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on making your mouth aesthetically look good. However, many restorative techniques have cosmetic benefits. For example, dentures and implants replace your missing teeth so you can chew food again. They also look perfectly natural, so you can smile without anyone knowing they're "fake."

Total Care Dental believes in making smiles beautiful and healthy. Schedule a consultation and we'll find the best way to make your teeth and gums healthy while transforming your smile.
