Several options for restoring lost or damaged teeth are available to those in Mississauga, Ontario. Find out more.

Restorative Dentistry Recaptures Smiles

Those who have lost several teeth, have decayed teeth, or other problems that have taken their smiles away can regain their smile with restorative dentistry. Restorative dentistry is a treatment plan that combines dental and cosmetic dentistry to address oral health issues and find the best methods to restore the smile to its previous beauty and function.

Restorative Dentistry vs. Cosmetic Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is different from cosmetic dentistry. It focuses on tooth and mouth function, oral health, and aesthetics, whereas cosmetic dentistry centres on aesthetics alone.

Restorative dentistry involves a team, including a general dentist, a cosmetic dentist, and other specialists, working together to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

Improved Function Improves Your Life

One of the primary goals of a restorative dental plan is to regain tooth function. Teeth are important for nutrition because they enable chewing. Those with missing teeth experience reduced nutrition due to chewing and dietary limitations. Restoring tooth function improves nutrition and quality of life, as you can now enjoy all your favourite foods. It can improve bone health and your overall health.

The Teeth’s Connection to Health

Many studies have been done linking teeth and mouth health to chronic issues like heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease.
While the exact connection remains unknown, it is believed that restoring missing teeth can improve overall health and reduce the risk of other health issues.
It has been shown to have a psychological impact: replacing missing teeth improves confidence, leading to a better quality of life.
