Restorative Dentistry: Reviving Your Smile
Restorative dentistry helps repair and restore teeth that are damaged or missing, bringing back their natural function and appearance. Whether you’re dealing with cavities, cracked teeth, or missing teeth, here are some of the common treatments we offer:
- Dental Fillings: Used to fix teeth with cavities or decay, fillings involve removing the decayed part of the tooth and filling it with materials like composite resin, amalgam, or porcelain to restore the tooth’s structure and prevent further issues.
- Dental Crowns: Also known as caps, dental crowns are custom-fitted over teeth that are decayed, damaged, or misshapen. They help restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and look. Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a mix of these materials.
- Dental Bridges: Bridges are used to fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth anchored by crowns on the neighboring teeth, helping to restore your bite and keep other teeth from moving out of place.
- Dental Implants: A long-term solution for missing teeth, implants involve a titanium post inserted into the jawbone to act as a tooth root, with a crown, bridge, or denture attached on top. They look and feel like natural teeth and offer stable support.
- Dentures: These removable devices replace multiple or all teeth. Partial dentures are for a few missing teeth, while complete dentures replace all teeth on the upper or lower jaw. Dentures help with chewing, support facial structure, and improve speech.
- Root Canal Therapy: This treatment is used to save an infected or severely damaged tooth. It involves removing the damaged pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inner canals, and sealing them. A crown is often placed afterward to strengthen and beautify the tooth.
Restorative dentistry not only improves the health and appearance of your smile but also enhances your overall oral function. Whether you need a simple filling or a more complex procedure like implants, our treatments are designed to meet your specific dental needs.
