Restorative Dental Services We Offer
Porcelain Crowns
Custom-fitted dental caps that restore the shape, strength, and appearance of teeth, porcelain crowns closely mimic the natural luster of tooth enamel, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile. Our dentist may recommend one (or multiple) be placed if you have teeth that are damaged, decayed, cracked, or worn. Porcelain crowns also offer durable protection and can significantly enhance both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Dental Implant Restoration
You should be able to choose what you’re most comfortable with when it comes to replacing missing teeth. That’s why our dentist gives patients options, one of which is dental implants. We will refer you for the surgical placement of the titanium post, but you’ll return to our office to have the porcelain crown affixed on top. No need for adhesives to prevent slipping or dietary restrictions – implants are like your real teeth!
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings, made from composite resin and not metal, offer a discreet solution for repairing cavities and restoring tooth structure. They blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and unlike traditional fillings, these resin-based alternatives bond directly to tooth surfaces, strengthening the remaining tooth material. Tooth-colored fillings are also durable, less invasive, and our dentist can even change out older metal fillings for this type if you’d like.
Dental Bridges
Anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or dental implants placed beforehand, dental bridges consist of artificial teeth that fill the gap left by those that have been lost. If needed, our dentist will put a bridge in place to restore your smile’s functionality and appearance, maintain facial shape, prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and improve your ability to chew and speak.
Full & Partial Dentures
Full and partial dentures are the tried-and-true method designed to replace missing teeth. While full dentures are used for instances where all natural teeth are gone, partial dentures are suitable when some natural teeth remain. Regardless of which removable option our dentist feels is best for you, both types comfortably improve chewing ability, speech, and facial aesthetics.
Root Canals
Root canal therapy is used to treat infection within the core of a tooth, saving it from extraction, and alleviating pain. The process involves our dentist removing the infected or inflamed inner portion (pulp), cleaning and disinfecting the inner chambers, and sealing up the tooth to prevent further infection. Despite having an intimidating reputation, root canals are routine procedures that serve as a preferred choice for deep dental decay or injury.
Periodontal Therapy
Encompassing a range of treatments all aimed at combating gum disease and restoring oral health, periodontal therapy is only recommended if our dentist feels that it is truly necessary for your smile. We will use this approach to reduce gum inflammation, improve gum attachment, and stabilize tooth placement while also addressing any present infection. If your condition is severe, surgery may be needed to regenerate lost bone and tissue.
