Tools Used by Restorative Dentists

Many restorative dentists use state-of-the-art technology to diagnose your condition, plan the appropriate treatment, and deliver natural-looking results. Some tools include: 

  • Digital X-rays and Cone Beam Scanners: Restorative dentists often use digital X-rays to quickly and safely diagnose issues such as cavities or fractured teeth. Some offices are equipped with cone beam computed tomography scanners that visualize your biostructures in three dimensions and allow your dentist to more accurately perform your treatment. 
     
  • Detailed Impressions: If you need a restoration such as a dental crown, bridge, or denture, your dentist may collect traditional putty impressions or digital impressions to record the exact dimensions of your smile. 
     
  • High-Quality Materials: When fabricating restorations, dentists use tried and true materials such as gold and porcelain as well as incredibly durable and lifelike materials such as zirconia. 
     

"The term 'restorative dentistry' is the integrated management of oral health problems and restoring of the mouth to a functional and esthetic state."

Insurance Coverage Often Applies to Restorative Treatment

Because restorative dentistry procedures are intended to improve the health of your smile, most treatments are considered medically necessary and are at least partially covered by insurance providers. Dental implants and some premium restorative materials will usually require paying out-of-pocket.
