Preventive vs. Restorative Care: What Is the Difference?
Preventive care focuses on stopping problems before they start. Restorative care addresses issues that have already developed. Both are essential parts of a well-rounded general dentistry plan. Preventive visits typically happen every six months. They can catch small concerns, like early decay or gum inflammation, before they grow into bigger, costlier problems. Restorative treatments step in when damage has already occurred, working to save as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. Dr. Massa's goal is to help patients fully understand their dental condition and develop a treatment plan that moves them toward stable, lasting oral health.
