Our Restorative Dentistry Treatments

Dental Fillings

If you experience symptoms such as tooth sensitivity, pain when you bite down, visible holes or pits in your teeth, or persistent bad breath, you might have cavities or other oral health problems that could be treated with a filling. Here’s how fillings can help:

• Tooth decay or cavities: They “fill in” the decayed area and prevent further decay by getting rid of spaces where bacteria can enter.
• Damage from grinding your teeth: Grinding or clenching can wear down or crack your teeth. Fillings can restore their shape and function.
• Broken or cracked teeth: A filling can help restore their structure and prevent further damage or discomfort.
• Old or damaged fillings: They become ineffective over time and might need to be replaced to prevent further decay.
• Tooth erosion: Acidic foods, reflux disease, or simply aging can cause tooth erosion. Fillings can repair these teeth and restore functionality.

Dentures

Our removable or fixed dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth. They are helpful if you have:

• Extensive tooth loss: If you’ve lost several teeth to tooth decay, gum disease, or injury, dentures allow you to smile, speak, and chew again.
• Advanced gum disease: If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss. Dentures can replace these lost or extracted teeth.
• Difficulty eating: If missing teeth are preventing you from properly chewing and breaking down food, dentures can help you eat more easily.
• Sagging facial muscles: Missing teeth can make your muscles sag, making you look different or older. Dentures help retain your face shape.
• Impeded speech: Your teeth play a crucial role in speech. Losing multiple teeth, particularly in the front, can affect your ability to pronounce certain words. Dentures can help you speak clearly again.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are ideal if you’re missing one or more teeth in a row and have healthy teeth on either side of the gap. You should consider getting a dental bridge if you want:

• A fixed tooth replacement: Bridges are fixed, non-removable prosthetics that function like natural teeth.
• A natural-looking smile: Our bridges are custom-made to blend in flawlessly with your smile.
• Restored functionality: If missing teeth are preventing you from chewing or speaking properly, a dental bridge can help restore these functions.
• Improved alignment: Missing teeth can cause your remaining teeth to shift over time, leading to a misaligned bite. A dental bridge can prevent this by filling in the gap and maintaining the structure of the dental arch.

Dental Crowns

Crowns are artificial teeth that cover your damaged or discolored teeth entirely, effectively reinforcing, reshaping, and disguising them. Crowns can help:

• When you have a broken or cracked tooth: Dental accidents happen, but a dental crown can restore your damaged tooth to its full function and prevent further issues.
• After you get a root canal: A crown provides strength and stability to your tooth after root canal treatment.
• If you need to cover a large filling: A crown can reinforce your remaining tooth structure and prevent it from breaking when your filling is too big.
• If you have a misshapen or discolored tooth: Crowns can improve the aesthetics of your smile by correcting any dental imperfections such as staining, chips, or cracks.
• When you need to support a dental bridge: Crowns act as anchors for a dental bridge, helping you to replace missing teeth and restore your bite.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are often the best choice if you’re looking for a durable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth. They can help if you have:

• Lost one or more teeth: Implants provide a natural-looking replacement that doesn’t affect your other healthy teeth.
• Inadequate support for dentures or bridges: If you’re unable to comfortably wear dentures or if your natural teeth aren’t strong enough to support a dental bridge, implants could be a more suitable solution.
• Bone loss in your jaw: Implants are the only dental restoration option that stimulates bone growth and prevents bone loss.
• Difficulty eating and speaking: Implants restore your smile’s functionality, allowing you to eat and speak normally after tooth loss.
• Gaps in your smile: Dental implants look and feel like your natural teeth, seamlessly blending in with your other teeth and completing your smile.
