The Steps Involved with Restorative Dentistry
Step 1: Consultation and Primary Examination
The first step in restorative dentistry is scheduling an appointment with Dr. Chen. Our team will examine your teeth during your consultation and determine which restorative treatments are best for you. We will also ask for your medical history, perform a thorough exam, and take X-rays to evaluate the extent of the damage.
Step 2: Treatment Planning
Once we examine your teeth, we’ll develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. This plan will detail which restorative treatments will be necessary and how many appointments will be needed to complete the process.
Step 3: Preparing the Tooth
The next step is to prepare the damaged tooth or teeth. We’ll numb the treatment area and remove any decay, which may include removing old fillings or crowns.
Step 4: Fitting the Restoration
Once we have prepared the tooth or teeth, we will take an impression of the area to create a model of the teeth. We’ll send this to a dental laboratory to create a custom-made restoration. During this time, we’ll provide you with a temporary restoration to wear until your permanent restoration is ready.
Step 5: Placement of the Restoration
Once the restoration has been created, you’ll come in for a second appointment to have it placed. Dr. Chen will remove the temporary restoration and cement the permanent restoration into place. He’ll ensure that it fits properly and make any necessary adjustments.
