One of the most common procedures done by dental offices around the world is restorative dentistry. This is a general term to cover a broad range of tooth repair, including dental fillings. Usually, restorative dentistry is needed when the integrity of the tooth is compromised, either through tooth decay or physical damage. The goal of restorative care is to repair the tooth and gain back normal function and use.
When a dental filling is needed, Dr. April Winkler will assess the specifics of your situation and create a plan of action to repair your tooth. We will make sure you are comfortable with the plan and are anxiety free when you visit Winkler Dental Center. Typically, a portion of the damaged tooth is removed. This helps makes sure that none of the decay remains and prevents the damage from spreading to other teeth. After the affected area is removed, a special restorative dental material will be used to bring back the function of the previously damaged tooth. There may be some hesitation about the durability of the restorative process, but you do not have to worry. All restorative dental work done by our dentist has a similar resilience and strength as the original tooth.
