Often portrayed as frightening or unapproachable in movies and shows, dentists are quite the opposite. As experts in their field, they are committed to their craft and to helping their patients achieve better oral health and the smiles of their dreams.

Long story short, you should not hesitate to talk to your dentist when you have questions regarding your oral health and certain procedures from which you may benefit. A candid conversation with an industry expert is one of the best ways to learn, gain pertinent knowledge, and become more comfortable with the world of dentistry and procedures therein.

It is not uncommon for certain subcategories of dentistry, like restorative dentistry, to seem a bit mysterious. Before considering or undergoing restorative dental procedures, for example, you will undoubtedly want to become more familiar with what exactly they entail.

Chances are, they will tell you that restorative dentistry involves repairing or replacing missing or damaged teeth. This process not only improves the appearance of your teeth but can also benefit the entirety of your mouth health.

Some dental procedures address purely superficial issues. While these procedures, like teeth whitening, can certainly benefit you and help you feel more confident, they are predominantly elective. Restorative dentistry, on the other hand, addresses problems that could have a profound effect on your oral health.

From keeping teeth properly aligned to maintaining proper jawbone health, restorative dental procedures are very important, especially in more at-risk individuals. Your dentist can thoroughly evaluate the condition of your oral health to provide insight specific to your situation and highlight the importance of restorative dental procedures to your health.

Different dentists perform different restorative dental procedures. Some may specialize in limited, very specific procedures, while others may offer comprehensive services covering a spectrum of procedures.

Common restorative dental procedures include bridges, crowns, dental implants, dentures, and fillings. Your dentist may offer some of these, all of these, or even other services not listed here. Be sure to ask them why they offer what they do, their experience level with particular procedures, and other dentist-specific questions that can give you the information you need to make a decision regarding the future of your dental health.

Whether your dentist has recommended a particular restorative dental procedure, or you are just curious, understanding how restorative dental procedures are done can be an excellent learning experience and aid you in determining if a procedure is right for you.

Be sure to explain to your dentist clearly why you are asking and how much detail you want to hear. While restorative dental procedures are incredibly safe and proven, some of the details may not be for the squeamish.

Every mouth is different, and yours is unique to you. If, after having an open conversation with your dentist, you think restorative dentistry may be right for you, be direct with them. Ask very specifically which, if any, restorative dental procedures they recommend for you, as well as how that particular procedure would benefit you.
