Restorative Dentistry
Fillings:
If you have a cavity, a dental filling will repair it. Cavities are caused by plaque and bacteria building up on your teeth, which eventually produces an acid that burns microscopic holes in the enamel. These holes will need to be disinfected and repaired to restore your tooth to its original function. We use tooth-colored composite resin for all our fillings. No one will be able to tell you’ve had a dental filling because your tooth will appear perfectly natural. The filling is rigid and helps your tooth resist decay in the future. This process is quick and will lead to strong teeth.
Crowns:
We use a dental crown to fill cavities too large for a filling. When a tooth becomes decayed, the dentist will file it down, removing any bacteria and decay, and then construct a custom crown. The crown will act as a casing for the tooth, allowing the original tooth to heal beneath while allowing you to chew and speak normally. Crowns are often made of porcelain and function similarly to natural teeth. A crown is a minimally invasive restorative procedure.
Bridges:
A dental bridge is the greatest option for people who are missing many consecutive teeth in a row. A bridge is a prosthetic tooth kept by two anchors on the adjacent teeth. We design the bridge to look perfectly natural. It’s one of the less invasive tooth replacement options we provide. The technique is simple and produces long-lasting results. If you are missing multiple teeth in a row, a bridge may be the perfect option for you. See us today about bridges!
Implant Restorations:
Implant restorations offer a durable, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. After a dental implant post integrates with your jawbone, we attach a custom prosthetic—such as a crown, bridge, or denture—to restore function and aesthetics. Each step allows for proper healing, ensuring a strong, long-lasting result. With implant restorations, your smile will look and feel completely natural.
Periodontal Therapy:
Periodontal disease is a type of gum disease that develops when proper dental hygiene is neglected. The problem is located along the gum line; however, it can lead to bone deterioration and tooth loss if not addressed. Periodontal therapy can help you get back to having a healthy smile by correcting any abnormalities with your gums. Depending on the stage of your disease will determine the type of therapy you receive.
Root Canals:
Even though our teeth are highly robust and long-lasting, incidents sometimes occur. You might need a root canal to save a tooth when the pulp on the inside of the tooth gets infected. The dentist will effectively clean the inside of your tooth and fill it with a dental resin to return the tooth to its natural condition. We will restore your tooth naturally, and you will be able to use it again!
