Should I Worry About An Older Restoration?

After restorative dental work, you should remain confident in your ability to put pressure on a tooth that is supported with a dental crown or dental filling. These restorations are made from materials that can hold up for years against friction from biting and chewing. When they are made to match your enamel, they can offer this support while also preserving the way you look when you smile. One thing to note is that if you no longer feel that you have the right support from a filling or crown, you should have it evaluated. Your Rochester, MN dentist’s office can let you know if you are in need of a replacement. Putting off care in this circumstance can ultimately leave your tooth exposed to harm!

Restorations Are Used To Permanently Protect Teeth That Undergo Treatments

Any time a patient needs to come in to have a tooth treated because it has a cavity, or because a physical injury has damaged it, our practice will take care to offer lasting protection after their care is completed. The choice to use a dental filling or a dental crown will be made when we see just how much support your tooth requires. With either of these restorations, we can offer functional benefits, and we can even preserve your appearance. While treatment is meant to provide a long-term solution, wear and tear through the years can lead to problems with an older restoration. You can experience problems sooner if you are not maintaining a good oral hygiene routine or if you suffer an injury.

Pay Attention To Signs That An Older Filling Or Crown Should Be Evaluated

A restoration that feels loose should be evaluated, as should one that looks damaged or causes you discomfort. Simply put, if your filling or crown is causing discomfort or affecting how you bite and chew, you should have it looked at by your dentist. It can be frustrating to learn that you need a replacement for one that is older, particularly if problems arose earlier than anticipated. What you should keep in mind is that the sooner the tooth has the protection it needs, the sooner you can regain confidence in your oral health and dental function.

Regular Dental Checkups Keep You Better Informed About Your Well-Being

During your routine dental checkups, you can learn about any problems that create concerns about your smile. Those concerns include problems with older fillings or crowns, but they can also include worries about enamel wear and tear, new signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and more! Because our practice serves Rochester community members of all ages, we can keep you informed about your kids’ smiles as well as yours.
