The Goals & Benefits Of Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and replacing damaged or missing teeth. Our goals are to:
By addressing these goals, restorative dentistry not only fixes immediate issues but also enhances your overall oral health and quality of life.
Fillings
When tooth decay or damage is present, fillings are an effective solution to restore your tooth’s integrity. We use tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing durability and a natural appearance. The benefits of fillings include:
Inlays & Onlays
For larger areas of decay or damage, inlays and onlays offer a more robust solution. These restorations are custom-made to fit the specific shape of your tooth, providing strength and stability while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. Inlays are designed to fit within the cusps (points) of the back teeth, while onlays can cover one or more cusps. Benefits include:
Root Canal Therapy
If you’re experiencing discomfort due to an infected tooth, root canal therapy can save your tooth and relieve discomfort. This procedure involves:
Root canal therapy can effectively alleviate discomfort and prevent the need for tooth extraction.
Crowns
Crowns cap or cover damaged teeth, restoring their shape, size, strength, and appearance. They can also improve a tooth’s overall appearance. When teeth are damaged, cracked, or have large fillings, crowns serve as a protective barrier and can prevent further damage or decay.
The process of getting a crown typically involves two appointments. During the first appointment, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth to create a custom-made crown that fits perfectly over your damaged tooth. This ensures that the crown will blend in seamlessly with your other teeth. At the second appointment, your dentist will place the crown onto your tooth using special dental cement. The result is a strong and durable restoration that looks and feels like a natural tooth. Crowns are ideal for:
Extractions
Sometimes, removing a tooth is necessary to maintain overall dental health. Our team ensures that extractions are as comfortable and painless as possible, guiding you through the process with care and expertise. Reasons for extractions include:
Bridges
Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth or implants, providing a seamless and functional solution for tooth loss. Benefits of bridges include:
Dentures & Partials
For multiple missing teeth, dentures and partials are removable options that restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. We custom-make each denture to ensure a perfect fit and natural look. Made of durable materials, dentures and partials provide the following benefits:
Types of dentures include both complete and partial options. Complete dentures are used when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Partial dentures can prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of place and maintain facial structure.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
For those needing extensive restorative work, full mouth reconstruction combines multiple treatments to address all dental issues. This comprehensive approach ensures that every aspect of your dental health is restored, providing a complete transformation of your smile. The steps involved include:
