Restorative Dentistry in Seattle
What is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is a branch of dental care focusing on the restoration of damaged or lost teeth. Whether due to decay, disease, or trauma, many individuals face dental issues that not only affect their smile but also their overall oral health. Restorative dentistry includes procedures like fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants, each designed to restore the function and aesthetics of the teeth. At Dental Specialties Northwest, under the expert guidance of Dr. Thomas Sweeney, we aim to provide top-notch restorative dentistry services to the residents of Seattle, ensuring they can smile confidently and enjoy the benefits of a healthy mouth.
The Restorative Dentistry Treatment Process
The restorative dentistry treatment process is a comprehensive approach that involves diagnosing the issue, planning the treatment, and implementing the solution.
Diagnosis
The first step in the restorative dentistry process is a thorough diagnosis. Dr. Sweeney will use advanced diagnostic tools to identify the root cause of your dental problem. This may involve digital X-rays, 3D imaging, or an intraoral camera. The goal is to get a complete picture of your oral health to determine the most effective treatment plan.
Treatment Planning
Once the diagnosis is complete, Dr. Sweeney will discuss the findings with you and propose a personalized treatment plan. This plan will consider your specific needs, preferences, and budget. The goal is to restore your oral health and smile aesthetics while ensuring you feel comfortable and informed about the process.
Treatment Implementation
The final step is implementing the treatment plan. Depending on the complexity of your case, this could involve a single procedure or a series of treatments over time. Rest assured, Dr. Sweeney and his team will use the latest techniques and technologies to ensure your treatment is as comfortable, efficient, and effective as possible.
