What To Expect During Your Initial Restorative Dentistry Appointment

Personalized Treatment Plan
After your exam, you’ll discuss your oral health goals with your dentist to develop a customized treatment plan for your unique dental needs. Treatment plans are a detailed outline of recommended care, typically including a timeline for each treatment and information about any service you will receive.
Options and Alternatives
Everyone’s smile is as unique as they are, so no two treatment plans will be exactly the same. We’ll be with you every step of the way, educating you on all your available treatment options, and answering any questions you may have, so you can choose the treatment that fits your needs, budget, and lifestyle.

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.

Over 3 million Americans received dental implants to restore their smiles.
