Not every tooth is worth repeated complex treatment. When a tooth has a strong prognosis, saving it is often ideal.

Restorative care is for patients with cavities, cracked or worn teeth, old fillings that need replacement, or teeth that may benefit from a crown or root canal when the long-term prognosis is strong.
