Restorative dental care

Restorative dental procedures repair damaged teeth, making them stronger and more attractive. Treatments include fillings to treat visible cavities, crowns to restore broken or chipped teeth, and even dental implants to replace missing teeth. They improve the function of the teeth and mouth, and also help patients feel more comfortable eating, talking and smiling.

Minor chips and cracks in the teeth can become worse if left untreated, causing discomfort, shifting of the surrounding teeth, or increased risk of tooth decay. Treatments like dental bonding and tooth colored fillings are effective in repairing these problems, as they restore the appearance of the teeth and provide strength.

Dental crowns are used to restore broken or cracked teeth, by covering the whole tooth. Dentists may need to alter the natural tooth structure in order to place the crown, but these restorations are very durable and offer a very realistic look.

Periodontal care

Unlike regular cleanings, periodontal maintenance appointments focus on removing plaque and bacteria that accumulate under the gum line. They also allow the dentist to measure pocket depth, as well as identify and treat signs of infection or inflammation.

Good oral hygiene practices can help prevent periodontal disease, such as brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. Maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding sugary snacks can also contribute to healthy teeth and gums. Visiting the dentist every six months for a thorough dental cleaning can help detect early signs of gum disease and treat it before it gets worse.

Solventum offers a broad portfolio of trusted, innovative healthcare products for medical and dental professionals around the world. The company’s solutions are relied on daily to advance patient care, streamline operations and workflow, and improve standards of safety and accuracy.
