In veterinary medicine, the dental restorations we provide aim to alleviate pain and protect the tooth's health.
Our focus is not on the cosmetic appearance of our pets' teeth but rather on restoring and preserving their ability to eat, chew, and use their mouths comfortably without pain.
- Dentin Bonding: Dentin bonding helps to restore superficially broken or damaged teeth. This process entails smoothing the injured tooth's surface, removing any unsupported tooth structure, and subsequently applying a dentin bonding product to seal the exposed dentin. This sealing helps to prevent infection, reduce pain, and facilitate the natural healing process of the tooth over time. In essence, dentin bonding acts as a protective "band-aid" for the affected tooth.
- Dental Fillings: Thankfully, dental caries (commonly known as cavities) are relatively rare in our pets. This process occurs when bacteria and highly digestible sugars accumulate on the tooth surface, causing tooth decay. When detected early, we can perform restorative procedures to preserve the tooth, much like in human dentistry.
