Choosing the Right Dental Restoration
It’s important to pick the right solution for your smile to restore function, aesthetics, and health for your bite. Restorative dentistry is crucial when it comes to creating a beautiful smile, and at Stony Brook Family Dentistry, that’s part of our focus for our patients. We work one-on-one with the patients with a goal of helping patients choose the right solution for their smiles.
Follow these factors to decide on your restoration goals:
Restoration Needs:
When you are choosing a dental restoration that’s right for you, it must address your dental needs but also stop future problems from occurring in your life. When there is excessive treatment of a minor tooth chipping or a cavity, which includes unnecessary invasive procedures, your smile can get compromised. As a result that can lead to health issues and a need for more treatment. At the same time, not getting restorative care until the problem is at its worse can create a situation where you require serious dental repairs. Therefore a conservative approach to dental restorations will preserve your natural teeth as much as possible. If you have teeth that are severely damaged and cannot be saved, there are long-term replacement paths that you can take, such as dental implants.
How To Keep Your Gums Healthy
Although frequently overlooked, your gums plays an essential role in helping to keep your whole smile healthy. When damaged through dental trauma or compromised from gum disease, patients might find themselves experiencing oral discomfort and becoming vulnerable to numerous potential dental problems.
Taking those consequences into consideration, Dr. Eric Baum and his staff at Stony Brook Family Dentistry in Suffolk County aim to educate their patients on how important it is to care for every part of your smile.
For long-term gum health, you should consider getting the following steps integrated into your home oral hygiene regimen.
