What To Expect During Your Initial Restorative Dentistry Appointment
Personal Treatment Plan
After your exam, you’ll discuss your oral health goals with your dentist, to develop a personalized treatment plan that is customized to fit your unique dental needs. Treatment plans are a detailed outline of recommended care, and typically include a timeline for each treatment, as well as information about any service you will receive.
Options and Alternatives
Everyone’s smile is as unique as they are, and as a result, no two treatment plans will be exactly the same. We’ll be with you every step of the way, making sure to educate you on all of your available treatment options, and answering any questions you may have, so you can choose the treatment that fits your needs, budget, and lifestyle.
Sedation Solutions
In order to keep you feeling safe and comfortable, we’re proud to offer sedation options. Sedation is not only helpful for complex restorative cases, but also to ease dental anxiety and provide comfort to patients who have trouble sitting still. We’ll discuss whether or not you will need or want sedation while we create your treatment plan.
Appointments & Follow-Ups
If you’re visiting our office for a dental emergency, we’ll do everything we can to ensure you get the treatment you need as soon as possible. Depending on the severity of your emergency, and our availability, we may be able to offer same-day appointments. For non-emergencies, we’ll just schedule your next appointment after your cleaning and exam. We’ll work with you to make sure your next visit fits in with your schedule.
Restorative Treatment Options
At one point in your life, you’ll likely need a dental filling to repair or restore a slightly damaged or decayed tooth. Dental fillings are durable and help prevent further decay or damage from spreading.
Also known as tooth caps, dental crowns protect and restore teeth by covering them like a helmet. Whether you need a front tooth crown or a restoration to cover a molar, Dr. Robobtham can help you decide which type of dental crown fits your needs.
While you’re waiting for your permanent crown, which will take a few weeks, we’ll provide you with a temporary crown to wear in the meantime. Once it has been completed, the lab will send us your finished crown, and you’ll return to our office for the final placement. Before securing the crown, we’ll make sure it fits perfectly and make any necessary adjustments so your new smile looks great, feels comfortable, and functions seamlessly.
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that can replace one or several missing teeth in a row. This restorative appliance is supported by natural teeth and is one of the most affordable restorative treatment options.
Root canal therapy involves removing the pulp from the inside of an infected or damaged tooth, filling the space with gutta-percha (a rubber-like material), and protecting the tooth with a dental crown.
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and gum tissue. Our Dallas denture dentist offers full and partial dentures for those missing some or a full row of teeth.
ORAL SURGERIES
Oral surgery might be necessary for some patients to prepare for restorative treatments like dental implants, remove impacted teeth, or correct severe orthodontic issues.
