Restorative Care
Restorative care is essential for repairing and restoring damaged or missing teeth to their optimal function and appearance. Whether you’re dealing with cavities, fractures, or tooth loss, restorative dentistry provides a range of treatments designed to address these issues and help you regain a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile. Below are the key restorative treatments we offer:
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been affected by cavities or minor damage. The process involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the space with a durable material, such as composite resin or amalgam. Fillings prevent further decay, restore the tooth’s natural shape, and ensure it continues to function properly. Composite fillings are also tooth-colored, offering a more aesthetic option for those concerned about visible dental work.
Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and function. Crowns are typically used after root canal therapy, when a tooth has been severely damaged, or when a tooth is weakened by decay. Crowns provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution to protect the tooth from further damage and help maintain its proper function. They can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or metal, depending on the location of the tooth and your specific needs.
Bridges
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges help restore chewing function, prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and enhance the appearance of your smile by filling the gap left by missing teeth. This treatment is ideal for patients looking for a stable, functional solution to tooth loss, as bridges are custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Dentures
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices used to replace multiple missing teeth. They are designed to restore the ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence, while also improving the appearance of your face and mouth. Dentures can be full (replacing all the teeth in one arch) or partial (replacing several missing teeth while leaving remaining natural teeth intact). Custom dentures are made to fit comfortably and function properly, allowing you to regain a natural-looking smile.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. The process involves placing titanium posts into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. These posts fuse with the bone over time, providing a stable foundation for crowns or bridges that restore the appearance and function of missing teeth. Implants also help preserve jawbone density by preventing bone loss that typically occurs with missing teeth, making them an excellent long-term option for those seeking a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations designed to repair teeth that have significant damage or decay but do not require a full crown. Inlays are used to fill cavities that are confined to the chewing surface of the tooth, while onlays cover larger areas or extend over the cusps of the tooth. Both options are highly durable and aesthetically pleasing, as they are made from materials that match the natural color of your teeth, such as porcelain or composite resin.
