Frequently Asked Questions
Is restorative dentistry safe?
Yes, restorative dentistry is safe when performed by qualified and experienced dental professionals. As with any medical or dental procedure, there can be potential risks and complications. Discuss any concerns you have with your dentist and follow their recommendations for pre and post-procedure care.
Does insurance cover restorative dentistry?
Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of restorative dental procedures, especially those deemed necessary for maintaining oral health and functionality. Coverage can vary depending on the procedure, your insurance plan, and whether the service is considered medically necessary. Check with your dental insurance provider to understand what treatments are covered.
What is the difference between cosmetic and restorative dentistry?
The primary difference between cosmetic and restorative dentistry lies in their primary goals. Cosmetic procedures aim to enhance aesthetics and create a more visually appealing smile. Restorative dentistry is focused on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth to restore proper function, health, and aesthetics.
Are restorative dentistry procedures painful?
No, restorative dental procedures aren’t painful. Restorative procedures are usually performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area being treated and helps minimize pain during the procedure. After the procedure, you may experience mild soreness, but it’s often manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
