Patients often have a lot of ideas about restorative dentistry. In some instances, patients have a vast knowledge of the way restorative care can improve their smiles. We also find that the patients who visit us have also heard a lot of rumors and myths about restorative services, which can make it difficult to feel confident about receiving the repairs their smiles need to achieve good health again. Find out how much you know with a brief quiz. (Remember, you can always voice concerns and questions during any visit).

Quiz: Your Restorative Care Knowledge

  1. True or False: Restorative dentistry will only improve the health of your smile. There is no instance in which a restoration will cause your smile to look better.
  2. True or False: If you visit us for a restoration, your comfort level depends on your ability to relax on your own.
  3. True or False: When we refer to restorative dentistry, we are discussing the goal of getting the health of your smile back to its prior, optimal state.

Quiz Answers

  1. False. One of the major benefits of restorative dentistry is that it will certainly improve your oral health – but it may also allow your smile to look better, too. For instance, repairing a broken tooth with a porcelain crown will restore function, health, and your tooth’s beauty.
  2. False. We will provide you with a local anesthetic before your treatment begins to make sure your tissues are completely numb.
  3. True. Whether we need to address an existing disease (like decay), fix a damaged tooth by repairing it, cover a damaged tooth with a crown, remove a damaged tooth, or replace a missing tooth, the goal is to arrive at a full, healthy smile.
