Restorative Dentistry

Dental fillings

Dental fillings are designed to replace portions of your teeth that are affected by decay or damage. If you struggle with a tooth that has a cavity or is fractured, a filling can be applied to the damaged area and is molded to suit the natural shape and appearance of your tooth. With a dental filling, our dentist can stop the spread of bacteria from reaching the sensitive inner tissue of your tooth and help prevent the need for root canal treatment. Dental fillings not only restore the health and function of your smile but can also enhance the appearance of your teeth.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns, often referred to as caps, are designed to repair damaged, injured or decaying teeth to fully restore the health and function of your smile. Often, cracked or damaged teeth can increase the risk for infection and severely impact the state of your oral health. To keep your oral health in good condition, a dental crown can act as a barrier between your damaged tooth and any harmful bacteria that enters your mouth. In other cases, you may benefit from a dental crown if you seek to protect a recent dental implant or root canal

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a recommended replacement option for patients who have single or multiple missing teeth. This treatment creates a bridge between your remaining teeth and the gap created by your missing tooth using two dental crowns. This bridge will help support your new artificial tooth and effectively restore your smile to optimal health.

Dentures

Dentures are a common path of treatment for patients with multiple missing teeth. Whether you are missing a few teeth or a full arch of teeth, dentures can help restore health and function to your smile. Additionally, dentures can enhance the beauty of your smile by restoring the natural appearance of your face and profile.

Implants

If you’ve lost a tooth, may recommend getting a dental implant to fill the empty space and allow for optimal function of your teeth. The dental implant itself is only a replacement for the root of the lost tooth, so after the implant has been placed, you’ll still need to get a restoration, or replacement tooth. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.
