Restorative Dentistry: Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know if I need restorative dentistry?
- You may benefit from restorative treatment if you have cavities, broken or worn teeth, missing teeth, or old dental work that is failing. If you experience pain, sensitivity, or trouble chewing, our team at Wauwatosa Dental Arts can evaluate your mouth and recommend the best options.
- What is the difference between a filling and a crown?
- A filling repairs a smaller area of decay by replacing the damaged tooth structure with composite material. A crown covers the entire visible surface of the tooth and is recommended when a tooth is cracked, weakened, or has extensive decay that a filling cannot reliably support.
- What are the benefits of same-day CEREC crowns?
- Same-day crowns eliminate the need for a temporary crown and a second visit. Digital impressions are taken with a scanner instead of impression trays, and your custom crown is designed and milled in our office, so you leave with your final restoration the same day.
- Are dental implants better than bridges or dentures?
- Dental implants are often considered the gold standard for tooth replacement because they replace the tooth root as well as the crown. This helps preserve bone, protect neighboring teeth, and provide excellent stability. However, the best option depends on your health, jawbone, budget, and goals, which we will review with you in detail.
- Will my restorative treatment look natural?
- Yes. We use tooth-colored materials and high-quality ceramics that are carefully matched to your surrounding teeth. Our goal is for your dental work to blend seamlessly so that others notice your smile—not your restorations.
- Does restorative dentistry hurt?
- Most restorative procedures are completed with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. We use gentle techniques, advanced technology, and clear communication to help reduce anxiety and make your visit as easy as possible.
- How long do crowns, fillings, and implants last?
- With good home care and regular checkups, composite fillings can last many years, crowns often last 10–15 years or longer, and dental implants can last decades. Avoiding tobacco, limiting very hard or sticky foods, and wearing a nightguard if recommended can help extend the life of your restorations.
- Will my insurance cover restorative dentistry?
- Most dental insurance plans provide benefits for medically necessary restorative treatment such as fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures. Coverage varies by plan, so our team will review your benefits, provide estimates before treatment, and help you maximize your coverage.
- Do you offer payment plans or financing?
- Yes. In addition to accepting many dental insurance plans, we can discuss flexible payment options and third-party financing to make larger treatment plans more manageable within your budget.
- How do I schedule a restorative dentistry consultation?
- Simply call Wauwatosa Dental Arts at (414) 462-3160 to schedule an appointment. Our team will help you choose a convenient time and answer any initial questions about restorative dentistry in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.
