If you\u2019ve been treated for a cavity, a knocked out tooth, or an oral infection, you most likely have a restoration of some kind in your mouth right now. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restorations are meant to keep your smile intact and healthy for many, many years. Unfortunately, though, they aren\u2019t indestructible. Dental restorations can fail for a variety of reasons, and the longer you put off repairing them, the worse the consequences can be for your smile. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why our team at Beck Dental Care is talking to you today about how to know when it\u2019s time to <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">restore your smile<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We\u2019re giving you some common scenarios where dental restorations can fail you and how you can keep those failures from hurting your smile! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><i>The Purpose Of Restorative Dentistry<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s pretty remarkable that our teeth are strong enough to withstand the kind of abuse we inflict upon them day in and day out. Your teeth bear a heavy responsibility and are built to handle that burden for most of your life. But they can be damaged by decay, erosion, infection, gum disease, and injury. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some of the ways restorative dentistry can repair problems like that:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Cavity Fillings<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Dental Crowns &amp; Bridges<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Root Canals<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Dental Implants &amp; Restorations<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With procedures like these, you\u2019re able to repair your teeth, protect them from further harm, and maintain the integrity of your smile.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><i>When Is It Time To Restore Your Smile?<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As strong as dental restorations are, there are times that they can fail you and need to be repaired or replaced. When that happens, we encourage you to trust our skilled professionals at Beck Dental Care to get your teeth back in proper working order for years to come. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few common ways restorations might fail:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Old Filling Has Failed<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cavity can be really painful and make eating pretty uncomfortable. Standard dental fillings will do the trick, but sometimes your fillings can fall out. Call our Columbia dental office if this happens to you, and one of our experienced dentists can replace it with a tooth-colored filling so your tooth looks natural and is protected from harmful bacteria. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Dental Crown Broke, Became Loose, Or Fell Out<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, a cavity can be too large for a regular filling. A hole in your tooth that\u2019s too big will pose a problem because you might not have enough healthy enamel left to effectively support a filling. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where a dental crown can save your tooth. It covers the decayed tooth, but if that dental crown were to ever break, become loose, or fall out, you can temporarily patch it with an over-the-counter dental cement. At Beck Dental Care, we can attach your failed crown again or replace it entirely, depending on the extent of the damage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Loose Dental Implant <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental implants are the best that modern dentistry can offer when it comes to strong, reliable tooth replacement options. However, just like any other restoration, dental implants can loosen or come out. This is pretty rare, but it can be corrected here in our Columbia dental office. We can help determine if you need a new implant or if your existing implant and restoration can be repaired. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Toothache Returns<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the myths we hear a lot about root canals is that they\u2019re only a temporary solution for an infected tooth. But that\u2019s really not true. By removing infection and cleaning out a tooth and capping it with a dental crown, it\u2019s protected from infection in almost all cases. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But nothing is completely impenetrable when it comes to your teeth. There is a tiny chance that infection can reappear, and if that ever happens, Dr. Beck can restore your tooth back to health. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><i>Make An Appointment To Restore Your Smile <\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you ever experience pain, discomfort, or obvious trauma to an old dental restoration, Beck Dental Care is the team you can trust to give you strong, durable restorative dental care to keep your smile healthy and beautiful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Call our Columbia, TN dental office \u00a0today at <a href=\"tel:19313888452\">(931) 388-8452<\/a> or fill out our <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online form<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to schedule an appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most adults have probably had some experience with restorative dentistry at some point.
